Who we are

Clarity Group is a strategy and innovation firm built for leaders operating at scale—where ambiguity is expensive, speed matters, and decisions must hold up under scrutiny. We help Fortune 1000 executives turn complexity into clarity, and clarity into action.

Our work sits at the intersection of AI, innovation, and strategic execution. Not as tools or pilots—but as leadership systems. Most large organizations don’t struggle with ideas or technology. They struggle with alignment: too many initiatives, unclear priorities, fragmented ownership, and growing pressure to show results. Clarity Group exists to fix that upstream and implement across your organization.

We work with senior leaders to define what actually matters, govern it deliberately, and execute with discipline. That includes AI strategy that produces measurable returns, leadership capability that scales beyond a single team, and operating models that don’t collapse under real-world constraints. The goal isn’t activity. It’s momentum that compounds.

Why Clarity Group?

Because most firms bring one lens to complex problems. We bring five:

We’ve built businesses with an owner’s urgency, navigated the internal politics of industry, adapted solutions in chaotic consulting environments, interrogated truth like journalists, and grounded it all in academic rigor.

That means we don’t just design good ideas—we pressure-test them from every angle: operationally, politically, financially, and intellectually. As business leaders. As human beings.

We specialize in innovation, AI, and strategy, but our real work is building systems that hold under pressure. Systems that scale. Systems that stick. Because in high-stakes environments, success isn’t about finding the right tool—it’s about building the right operating model to deliver results again and again.

We don’t bring hype. We bring clarity, traction, and sustained momentum—the upstream conditions that make everything else possible. And we bring it specifically to the most challenging demands in your business today: Developing value from AI, a culture of innovation, and developing clear strategic paths in uncertain conditions.

Clarity Group is led by James Janega, an innovation strategist and advisor to executive teams, and faculty member at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. James brings a rare combination of operating experience, board-level perspective, and academic rigor—grounding every engagement in how large organizations actually make decisions.'

Build Confidence, Even in Uncertainty

We don’t sell hype. We install clarity—so leaders can move faster, with confidence, and make AI and innovation pay at enterprise scale.
