Dr. Rick Hubbard
The Business Diagnostic Coach
Since joining a prestigious global consulting firm in 1980—after serving as a US Air Force Officer designing and developing reconnaissance and surveillance software systems in an Intelligence Agency—Dr. Rick Hubbard has learned first-hand as a professional advisor, business & technology executive, strategist, enterprise software solutions architect, and university professor that:
Rick is a life-long systems scientist.
In a career spanning five decades, he developed deep expertise and unique insights applying systems-thinking, GST (General Systems Theory), cybernetics, system dynamics, causal inference, decision science, and data science to demanding business & technology problems & opportunities. While doing so, he earned multiple degrees in Computer Science and an MBA.
Based on decades of applying systems principles to demanding challenges, Dr. Hubbard developed, refined, and proved The Business Diagnostic across hundreds of demanding, complex problems and opportunity pursuits.
Dr. Hubbard has led Business Diagnostic engagements in such varied industries as:
- Financial services,
- Telecommunications,
- Manufacturing,
- Distribution,
- Enterprise Software,
- Air Transportation,
- Consumer Marketing,
and many others.
When he discovered that few (if any) ambitious business and technology professionals (consultants, executives, analysts, et cetera) were trained to gain an understanding of cause before attempting to solve problems or discover new opportunities, Rick invested nearly a decade developing Traversing the Performance Gap and The Business Diagnostic.
Though retired (-ish), Rick occasionally supports interesting & intriguing client efforts as an advisor, professional speaker, and seminar/workshop leader, equipping business & technology professionals with rare, valuable, and difficult-to-imitate skills, knowledge, and capabilities to succeed when confronted with the inevitable need to traverse a performance gap and diagnose causation of important business problems or discover valuable opportunities.
