What was the problem you needed to solve?

Why did you choose Hubbard & Hubbard, Inc.?

  • I/my organization contacted Hubbard & Hubbard, Inc. because we recently created a role focused on inclusion in the workplace and I was struggling to prioritize and demonstrate the value of the numerous initiatives involved in the program.
  • I chose H&H after reading “The Diversity Scorecard” about a year ago. It came back into my mind when I was trying to quantify the value of activities when creating the first department budget.

How did Hubbard & Hubbard, Inc. solve your problem?

In what ways was Hubbard & Hubbard, Inc.’s solution unique?

  • Hubbard & Hubbard, helped me by helping me identify and evaluate the different factors in each of the programs and organize them into a more executable strategy
  • The result was we are reframing our approach to the initiative, focusing more on gathering the data we need to make effective decisions than acting on assumptions or others’ experience.
  • The solution was unique because it combines all of the “traditional” methods of outlining a change management initiative with the ability to define metrics that aid in evaluating not only cost benefit, but the actual behavioral delta that is attributable to the inclusion activities.

What did you particularly like about our approach or delivery?

  • One thing I liked was Hubbard & Hubbard’s ability to work with the construct I currently had in place and demonstrate how it could be restructured into the Hubbard methodology to provide much more valuable data.

  • I think its greatest value is to give you the language and methodology that you need to design, develop and implement programs that will move toward your desired objectives in the most cost and benefit effective way.

What additional information would you add about Hubbard & Hubbard, Inc. that we have not asked?

  • There is special value in learning something from its source. I think the fact that the program is something you have created from the start, and added to with your experience, makes your approach to sharing this knowledge very comprehensive and personal. When we are struggling to assure that this very important work that we are doing is successful, having a framework that provides both the tangible and intangible indicators we need to be effective is critical. Based on my experience to date, it surpasses expectations.

 

  • On an additional note, both Drs. Hubbard are extremely engaging and patient in their delivery of the material and make you feel that whatever your challenge, their methods will help you to meet it.
