Our approach
We believe the key to progress isn't a better answer, but a better question.
The word Viridis is Latin for green or fresh, and it's the inspiration for everything we do. By facilitating a fresh perspective to every challenge, we’re here to help you get unstuck by thinking differently.
We listen, learn, and collaborate with you to unearth the insights that are already there just waiting to be revealed.
We believe that a shift in perspective is the most powerful tool for turning problems into progress for individuals, teams, and brands.
Our aim is to be the catalyst for turning a standstill into progress.
About our Founder Vanessa Farquharson
For over 25 years, I've had a front-row seat to the challenges of human connection in the fast-paced world of service industries like media, tourism, and hospitality. I’ve been fortunate to work with world-class organisations like the BBC and National Geographic to American Express, IHG and Tourism New Zealand, where my work has always been customer-insight led. I've learned that truly understanding people, be it customers, employees or investors, is the key to unlocking real progress.
As the managing partner of Viridis, I use this perspective as a catalyst for personal development. I believe that even the most brilliant people and teams can feel stuck, and that a fresh pair of eyes can make all the difference. I use my experience, alongside the power of tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), to help you turn a standstill into genuine, joyful progress.
