Human360

What Human360 does

Human360 is a France-based boutique consulting firm founded in 2012 by Nicolas Besse, headquartered in Olivet (near Orléans) and serving clients across Paris, Orléans, and Tours. The firm provides three integrated service lines: executive and team coaching, corporate training (management, leadership, communication, personal development), and management consulting. Its coaching practice operates to ICF PCC certification standards, and its intervention methods are grounded in recognized psychological and management frameworks including MBTI, DISC, emotional intelligence, systemic approach, NLP, and transactional analysis.

The business model is professional services delivered through direct B2B engagement with enterprise clients. Pricing is quote-based on custom engagements rather than productized; the firm surrounds its founder-led delivery with a curated network of ICF-certified coaches, consultants, facilitators, and mediators. Customer acquisition relies on professional reputation, partner referrals (Actiforces, Coaching Ways France, ICF France), and word-of-mouth, with no disclosed digital sales motion. The customer roster includes enterprise and government clients across banking, insurance, retail, automotive, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, telecom, transportation, media, professional services, and public sector — totalling 100+ clients across the firm's operating history.

Operationally, Human360 is a small firm (1-10 employees) with no proprietary technology platform, no digital product, no funding rounds, and no public financial disclosure. The firm's principal value proposition rests on the personal experience and credentials of its founder, the rigor of its ICF-aligned methodology, and its flexibility to deliver customized engagements across multiple industries and organizational levels from C-suite executives to operational teams.
