What Lardi & Partner Consulting does

Lardi & Partner Consulting GmbH is a Switzerland-based strategic advisory firm founded in 2012 that helps Fortune 500 companies and governments execute large-scale organizational transformation in the AI age. The firm operates at the intersection of technology, organizational systems, and human decision-making, with a stated emphasis on decision quality, systemic risk, and organizational resilience. Its core technology is a neuroscience-based transformation methodology that combines behavioral research with wearable EEG measurement, delivered alongside proprietary frameworks including DBX 2.0, the Human AI Cognitive Excellence Framework, and the Digital Business Transformation Strategy Framework.

The firm's service portfolio comprises four practice areas: Strategic Reinvention & Digital Transformation, AI-first Operating Model & Organization, Customer Experience Design, and Neuroscience & Behavioural Research. It generates revenue through four streams: enterprise advisory engagements, one-time licensing of proprietary frameworks, royalties from authored books (Artificial Intelligence for Business, Kogan Page 2025; The Human Side of Digital Business Transformation, Wiley 2022), and recurring subscriptions through DBX School online courses. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales to C-suite buyers, supported by a thought-leadership engine spanning Forbes Council, keynote speaking, and podcasts.

Operationally, the firm is a boutique operation of 1-10 employees led by founder and CEO Kamales Lardi, a globally ranked thought leader with 26+ years of technology experience. It has delivered 50+ transformation initiatives globally, won 12 international industry awards, and operates with a single disclosed technology partnership (Myndplay) for EEG hardware integration. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public revenue figures.
