About Us

Diversi-T was established in 1993, as a human-resource development and training consultancy on the frontline of political change in South Africa. We have grown in this new-democratic environment,  developing solutions for many public and private organisations having to grapple with change, diversity and inclusion. Still part of this evolving landscape, we are proud to have matured into the foremost change management consultancy at the tip of Africa.

An experienced and thought-provoking company driving change and transformation in South Africa.
