Embracing the future requires a conscious departure from past perspectives.

Based on decades of experience in consulting and senior leadership, 21FSP was created to address significant gaps in the market.

Our formative philosophy is rooted in the belief that embracing the future requires a conscious departure from past perspectives. Our value stems from our commitment to a working culture that values curiosity, imagination and the continuous pursuit of knowledge. By challenging assumptions, exploring new possibilities and harnessing emerging technologies, we are focused on working with our clients to empower them and shape the future rather than being shaped by it.

Our unwavering commitment to future scoping fuels our innovation, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of the industry, driving positive change and creating a sustainable future for all.

We are lifelong learners applying lessons learned to enhance our client’s innovation quotient.

Our team has deep experience in working in many economic sectors, in talent attraction and retention and in solving complex challenges locally, nationally and internationally.

Working collaboratively with Indigenous leaders and organizations is a specialty, supporting the highly successful Atlantic Indigenous fishery, housing and population growth. We are privileged to be participating in community-led reconciliation projects, including with urban Indigenous communities.

We have valued the opportunity to have worked on some of Nova Scotia’s most innovative current projects in emerging sectors, including green hydrogen and alternative fuels development and the transportation space. Others are equally transformative in both goods movement and renewable energy, including with Indigenous communities and organizations. No matter the project, we bring our knowledge and experience of these and comparable emerging innovations.

As part of a national network of subject matter experts, 21FSP can reach into a diverse group of key subject matter experts and collaborators who collectively bring further specialized expertise when required. These collaborators bring a strong value proposition in economically addressing contemporary issues, supporting clients' forward pathways aligned with their corporate objectives, values and people.
