Some numbers for you
Applied Acumen have been partners with organisations around the globe since we introduced ourselves in 2002. We have built an enviable array of solutions for the modern, ambitious customer and we are always pleased to welcome new organisations.
From the very start we became mutual partners for our customers. We broke away from the outmoded and constrained services provided by contemporaries. That desire has never left us and we have continued to inventively raise the performance for those we work with.
For nearly twenty years our customers have been our best supporters, returning to us time and again as they look to achieve or recommending us to others who aspire.
We understand that choosing to work with a consultancy is a significant decision for anyone but we will never tire of record breaking results and seeing your people excel. So join us in our mission to show what can really be achieved.

The Applied Acumen Story
We were founded in the knowledge that organisations deserved a better service from Management Consultancies. From the ill designed content of initiatives, the lack of sustainability, one sided commercial arrangements through to a poor experience for the customer’s staff you needed and demanded change. Applied Acumen met that demand from our launch in 2002, attracting organisations of all different sizes and all manner of sectors who knew there was potential in them and wanted to gain it.
