Our story

A consultancy built on the belief that simple wins.

Simple Mind, Inc. was founded in Norwich, Connecticut with a contrarian idea: that the best business advice doesn't come wrapped in jargon. It comes wrapped in common sense — backed by rigor.

Mission

We help leaders make decisions they can defend — and repeat.

Most organizations don't fail from a lack of ideas. They fail from a lack of clarity: too many priorities, too much noise, and strategy that lives in a deck instead of the daily work.

We exist to change that. We bring senior perspective to the decisions that shape your business — then help your team execute with the confidence that comes from a clear, honest plan.

What we stand for

Four principles, no exceptions.

Clarity over complexity

We strip a problem to its essence before we ever touch a solution. The simplest workable answer wins.

Integrity in every number

We tell you what the data says, not what you want to hear. Honesty is the fastest route to results.

Partnership, not dependency

We build capability inside your team. The goal is to leave you stronger, not reliant on us.

Outcomes, not output

Deliverables are a means. We measure ourselves by the change we create in your business.

Our journey

Fifteen years of clearer thinking.
