“PeopleCentriX is a trusted partner to Chief People Officers and their teams, providing the expertise and guidance they need to develop and implement successful people strategies. They have a unique ability to bring people together and create a shared vision for the future.”
Patrick NicollierChief Human Resources Officer, World Health Organization“PeopleCentriX helped us navigate challenging waters. Using a human-centred design approach, they helped us think creatively and develop a fresh approach to people development and performance that resonated with all stakeholders — and a tailored implementation plan aligned with our ambition and culture.”
Samantha Stokes-BaydurChief Human Resources Officer, Open Society Foundations“Thanks to PeopleCentriX’s guidance, we developed our talent acquisition strategy in just eight weeks. We benchmarked our function against leading practices, collected feedback from new hires, hiring managers and business leaders, then co-designed our strategy and roadmap in sprints.”
Vivienne TardieuGlobal Head of Talent Acquisition, FerringHow we work
Both offerings run on one method.
The People Centricity Methodology™: four moves — Empathise, Strategise, Realise, Analyse — turning data into insight, insight into choices, choices into measured impact, and impact back into data.
Assembled from design methods, human capital measurement and lean experimentation; each fails alone in a way the other two prevent. Refined over twenty years of engagements, run as one loop on every one of them, and published in full so you can judge it before you meet us.

About us
The advice comes from the people who sign it.
Tanguy Dulac
Founder & Managing Director, PeopleCentriX
- PhD, Applied Economics — LSE / UCLouvain
- MSc Organisational Psychology — UCLouvain
- Academy of Management Journal — cited 1,000+ times
Between 2001 and 2006, Tanguy spent five years on one question: what happens to people when the promise their organisation made is kept, and what happens when it is broken. That research, published in the Academy of Management Journal and cited more than 1,000 times, is the foundation of the People Centricity Formula™.
Fresh from the doctorate in 2006, he joined PwC for one reason: Saratoga, the practice Jac Fitz-enz built to measure the value people create. Twenty years later, he is still asking that question. A people strategy is only real once its value is measured.
He teaches Sustainable Human Capital Management at the University of Fribourg and Human Capital Risk Management at the Haute École de Gestion de Genève, and edits WeAreHuman@Work, a weekly newsletter on sustainable work.
He leads every engagement himself, from the first conversation to the board presentation.
