Founded in 2006 by Eric Lee, Bennett Midland has built a rich history at the intersection of public service and management consulting. We work exclusively in the civic sector — partnering with government agencies, non-profit organizations, and foundations to develop and implement new programs and initiatives, solve operational problems, and execute effective management strategies. We believe the status quo is rarely ever good enough, and we work with the imperative to make the world better.

Our team combines deep and varied experience in public service with highly tuned analytic skills. We approach each engagement with curiosity and intellectual rigor, providing clients with deep research and analysis to inform key decisions. We zero in on the most incisive facts, sharpen pivotal decision points, and organize productive debate to help our clients resolve critical issues — standing by them every step of the way.

We work with our clients across the full arc of change: helping them sharpen their strategy and deepen impact, designing powerful new programs, launching organizations swiftly and with excellence, supporting transformational national initiatives, and converting finite resources into desired operational results. Our clients trust us with their biggest, most intractable problems — and we work with them to design solutions that make a difference for the people they serve.

We work with the imperative to make the world better and appreciate how important it is for our clients to succeed. Creative and effective solutions result from the right problem diagnosis — we consider problems from multiple angles, learn from others who have wrestled with similar challenges, and engage people beyond the usual suspects to understand root causes. By rigorously interrogating the problem, we help our clients identify the most promising opportunities for action and impact.

Intellectual rigor and curiosity guide every engagement. We are deeply committed to understanding the particular needs of our clients — their biggest ambitions and truest concerns. We value diligence, thoroughness, and relevance in every work product we deliver. And we hold firm to one belief above all: the status quo is rarely ever good enough.

We work exclusively in the civic sector — which means our team brings deep, specialized experience that generalist firms simply cannot match. Our engagements span government agencies, nonprofits, and foundations across the country and internationally. We combine public sector expertise with highly tuned analytic skills, and we are relentlessly focused on delivering comprehensive, thorough, and relevant work. Our clients trust us with their hardest problems because we have earned that trust — and we stand by them every step of the way.
