About

Working together beats going it alone.

Co-oppetition is an independent consulting practice in Toronto, Ontario. The name, always with two p's, comes from a simple belief: cooperating, even with the people you compete with, produces better outcomes than working in isolation.

That belief shapes how engagements run. We are not a reseller, and we would rather tell you a project is not worth doing than sell you one.

Jeff Bowman

Founder & Principal Consultant

"It's not what you did, it's how you made them feel."

Thirty years of operating experience across camps, independent school programs, and SaaS. Fifteen of those years spent inside software, seeing what buyers were told and what they actually got.

What we believe

The right tool fits

Not the most popular one. Fit is measured against how you already work.

Process before software

A new system will not fix an undecided process. We map the work first, then configure to match it.

Say the hard thing early

We will tell you honestly what consulting can and cannot do, in the first conversation rather than the last invoice.
