Thought Leadership

Our Perspective.

At Harkin Consulting, we work at the intersection of strategy, governance, and identity. Our thought leadership explores how public systems can earn trust, deliver value, and adapt to a changing digital world.

From self-sovereign identity to culturally grounded governance, we contribute thinking that bridges policy, technology, and people.
