Alternego

What Alternego does

Alternego (legal entity: Alter Nego SAS) is a Paris-headquartered consulting, training, and applied research firm founded in 2010 that helps private and public organizations transform their workplace models toward more responsible, fair, and sustainable operating practices. Its core practice spans social dialogue, negotiation, conflict management, psychosocial risk prevention, diversity and inclusion, management, and quality of work life. The firm serves a primarily French enterprise and public-sector client base (e.g., AXA, SNCF, Caisse des Dépôts, Essilor, Conseil de l'Europe) through customized consulting engagements, intra-company training, and inter-company programs.

The company operates as a 360° group ecosystem combining several subsidiaries: AlterNego (core consulting/training/research), AN Talents (recruitment and talent management), Fil Rouge (communication and publishing), ElTigre (web/mobile digital solutions, acquired 2019), ALTERHEGO (psychosocial risk prevention, merged 2023), and UTOPIES (CSR consulting, merged 2024). Its proprietary technology stack includes diagnostic mobile apps (VOW on iOS/Android based on the CARES© model for employee commitment; GLI for conflict management; NDS for negotiation preparation), web-based assessment tools (IRBI for unconscious bias risk; TAN for negotiation aptitude), and Survey Factory, a 100% French-hosted survey platform for HR research. BNAU, AN Academy (micro-learning), and Learning Cruise (inter-company training adventure) round out the product surface.

Alternego monetizes primarily through professional services — bespoke consulting engagements, intra-company training, inter-company open programs, recruitment (AN Talents), and applied research studies — supplemented by royalties on expert-authored books. Pricing is largely quote-based and customized, with limited disclosed pricing (e.g., 250€ per attendee for webinar-only Learning Cruise, 600€ for the full parcours). The firm is Qualiopi-certified for training. Its go-to-market blends enterprise field sales with inbound/event-driven demand generation (webinars, Learning Cruise events, BNAU media) and a co-built delivery model tailored to each client. Distribution is direct B2B, with a channel partnership for executive education with Science Po Executive and self-serve mobile-app distribution for individual users.
