The above is just a sample of the type of assignments successfully completed by Beman Consulting over the last number of years. Implicit in the outcomes was a change of culture, focus on efficiency and competitiveness of the organisations involved. The fundamentals of sustainable change were in all cases given prominence rather than theoretical concepts or short-term quick fixes. All our assignments since 1980 have been on the basis of referral.
