Julia Dhar

Fellow, Science-based Approach to Human-centric Change

Julia Dhar is a Fellow based in BCG’s Boston office and a Managing Director & Partner. Julia was named a Fellow in 2022 and has focused her research on a Science-based Approach to Human-centric Change.

Her research explores elements for a “human-centric” approach to change, grounded in behavioral, cognitive and social sciences and questions such as:

  • How can the neglected levers of behavioral change produce sustainable and predictable organizational change?
  • What can leaders learn from paying attention to negative emotions at work?

Julia is co-author of The Decision Maker’s Playbook: 12 Tactics for Thinking Clearly, Navigating Uncertainty, and Making Smarter Choices published by Financial Times Publishing. Her work has also been published in leading publications including Harvard Business Review and the World Economic Forum.
