(We think you would.) ## Who We Are Emerson Human Capital Consulting Inc. is a change management consulting company with a passion for turning people potential into business performance. We are experts in behavior change. Clients call us when they need to transform, improve operations, deploy new strategy or technology, or enable employees to perform at a new level. ## What We Do Transformation: Achieving rapid, high-stakes change and creating change capability for the next ascent. Change Management: Driving smooth, efficient implementation of any change, and securing sustained results. Organization Design: Developing organization structures and roles to enable business strategy. Learning & Development: Building the skills, knowledge, and tools people need for exceptional performance. Communication: Ensuring people receive the right information at the right time. Technology Change: Enabling the benefits of technology by influencing human performance. Why Emerson? We were the first US company with a large team of full-time employees specializing only in behavior change. We employ only experts, like you. We’re not an IT consultancy or an accounting firm that also has a specialized practice – critical behavior change is all we do. We are thought leaders in human performance. For example, the Association for Talent Development published our book series, which covers some of our favorite principles, tips and lessons learned: The Change Book, The Learning & Development Book, and The Technology Change Book. We deliver for the best. We are the choice of some of the most successful and well-known companies in the world. We don’t like to drop names, mostly because our lawyers won’t let us. But if we did, we could tell you about an iconic clothing brand, an oil and gas giant, a global leader in hospitality, and a company that makes really fast shoes. Just to not name a few. Candidates who are currently employed by a client of Emerson Human Capital Consulting might not be eligible for consideration. Applicants for employment in the U.S. must have unrestricted work authorization which does not require sponsorship by the employer for a visa. ## About Emerson Human Capital Consulting ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Emerson Human Capital Consulting is a boutique consulting firm that helps businesses and government organizations achieve the full benefit of their transformation initiatives through change management and learning & development. - **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped) - **Headquarters**: Alameda, California, USA - **Founded**: 2001 - **Founders**: Tricia Emerson (President) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Business Consulting and Services (Change Management, Learning & Development) - **Target customers**: Fortune 500 companies, US government agencies, and diverse organizations spanning industries like retail, food, and consumer goods. - **Mission/purpose**: To help organizations capture the benefit of their change initiatives by focusing on human behavior, not just technology or process. ## Products & Services Emerson offers a single core service with two primary specializations: - **Change Management Consulting**: Strategy, planning, and execution support for large-scale organizational transformation (typically projects with $1M+ impact delivered within 180 days). - **Custom Learning & Development**: Designing, developing, and delivering training programs to help people internalize new ways of working, adopt new technology, or learn new skills. - **Proprietary Methodologies & Books**: The company has published *The Change Book*, *The Learning & Development Book*, and *The Technology Change Book* to codify its behavior-science-based approach. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue of **$4.2M** (2025/2026 estimate from LinkedIn company data) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: WBENC-certified (Women's Business Enterprise).
