Twenty-five years already…
An initial intuition. That’s how long it took psychotherapist Angelo Vicario to realize that work not only generates inclusion, but also exclusion and disaffiliation. And with it, the impact on employees’ physical and mental health. It’s a matter of urgent concern. These values underpin the DNA of the firm, whose motto is “the human dimension of the organization”.
The three methodological eyes. It was then the test of reality that showed him the interdependence between three registers (the person, the organization and the culture), one influencing the other and vice versa. Acting on only one of the pillars is doomed to failure. This principle gave rise to our systemic interventions in open architecture.
A willingness to team up. 25 years is the length of time it has taken to build a complementary team to deal effectively with this complexity: jurist, engineer, sociologist, doctor, economist, HR specialist, public sector specialist, entrepreneur… This choice presides over the interdisciplinarity of our methodologies.
From our 25 years of experience, we have discovered 4 valuable ideas that we share with our customers.
- Alone, you can’t do anything great. But when you’re working with several people, you generate skills and complexity that need to be regulated. Our 7 offices throughout Switzerland enable us to serve demanding customers and carry out national mandates.
- Benevolence is not the antonym of performance. On the contrary, benevolence and high standards enable performance.
- The only way to develop a team over the long term is to respect people. Several people have been with the firm since the very beginning.
- Flexibility and agility can work wonders. Several of our regional headquarters are successfully co-managed by part-time specialists on a job-sharing basis.

25 years of encounters… in Neuchâtel!
In an ever more competitive environment, faced with ever more complex challenges, in an ever more competitive market, where everything is fast-moving and highly connected… What skills are needed to best serve the smooth running of a company? The subject of “key competencies” was discussed recently in Auvernier. At the invitation of our company’s Neuchâtel office, Vicario Consulting SA, as part of a series of conferences to mark our 25th anniversary, two speakers took part in the debate: Sarah Hurter, project manager for international creative content, embodied the younger generation. Opposite her is a former Human Resources Director, Jocelyn Saucy. Florence Richard-Crot and Rachel Erard, co-heads of the Neuchâtel-Jura region, led the discussion.

A Toast to Art and Human Values: Vicario Consulting Celebrates 25 Years in Style
A special evening in the heart of Lugano. On December 4th, the Ticino headquarters of Vicario Consulting transformed into an art gallery to celebrate an important milestone: 25 years of activity. An event that drew numerous guests from the business world, associations and foundations, all gathered to discover how art can tell the story of a company’s values.
When Art Speaks to the Heart
The protagonists of the evening were the vibrant works of Massinissa Askeur, winner of the Golden Lion of Venice 2023 and among the 500 most influential contemporary artists in abstract symbolism. Canvases created specifically for this occasion, which now permanently color the office spaces. The ancestral symbols of Berber culture dialogue with visitors, evoking emotions that words often fail to express. In an era where communication risks losing its authenticity, art brings us back to the essential.
A Story of Passion for the Human Being
Behind this anniversary lies the vision of Angelo Vicario, psychologist and psychotherapist who in the 1990s understood the importance of well-being in business, becoming a pioneer in managing social climate and workplace harassment.
Today, Vicario Consulting guides companies through change, digital transition and generational succession. The Ticino office, since 2003, has passionately served companies like the Swiss Federal Railways and local SMEs, confirming that at the center of everything always remains the human being.
