Herrliberg Consulting was founded by Nick Dalton, one of the UK’s leading thinkers in employee relations — and a recognised expert in bringing ‘creativity from conflict’.

Nick brings four decades of experience to his work, including as Executive Vice President of HR at Unilever, one of the world’s largest and most complex organisations. That frontline experience at the highest level informs everything he does — this is thinking forged in practice, not theory.

His work starts from a simple but radical conviction: that the tension and conflict inside organisations isn’t a problem to be managed away. It’s energy waiting to be unlocked.

That insight runs through everything Herrliberg Consulting does — from coaching individuals and teams, to advising HR leaders on the big questions reshaping their function, to Nick’s writing and research on what the AI age means for the future of work.

Nick is co-author of H(R)evolution (Routledge), written with Dr Alan Watkins, and is currently completing Paradox HR: A New Playbook for the Age of AI. His writing reaches a growing international audience through Substack and speaking engagements.

We work with HR directors and people leaders who want to think more clearly, lead more boldly, and build organisations worth belonging to.
