Rick Hubbard’s Experience

Managing Director

Growth Systems

(Computer Software industry)

May 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)

"Unlock Business Value, Now!" I'm proud of the purpose of Growth Systems, Inc.

If you want to drive cost, time and risk out of project planning, then you will want the innovative & easy "Plan On a Page" method (www.planonapage.com).

If you need to collect project/product requirements instantly, thoroughly and at the lowest possible cost, then you want "Accelerated Requirements Method" (ARM).

If you need to quickly & effectively assess and plan for the risks inherent in a project, then you want "Accelerated Risk Reduction Planning" (ARRP).

If you have any form of an online presence, then you need "The Keyword Coach Tutorials.” WARNING! It's what you don't know about keywords that is costing you traffic, customers, conversions and revenues...right now.

If you are a Technology Professional Services Leader who wishes to increase revenues by delivering valuable solutions to important business problems, then your staff need the "Enhancing the Experience and Professionalism of Professional Services Program." One VP of Services says it’s "...everything about profitable technology Professional Services except the technology."

If you are evaluating/justifying a technology project, then you need "BRIEFCASE--the IT/Business Case" method...it is simple, and "thorough-enough," so you can make the most effective decision in the least amount of time & cost possible.

In addition to advising business & technology leaders, I am available for writing assignments (e.g., white papers for technology firms trying to appeal to a business audience); speaking engagements (when you need a captivating, entertaining and knowledgeable speaker who can reveal the business value of complex technologies); business case development; and training.

If you are an accomplished business or technology leader who understands "experience counts," please feel free to contact me directly to unlock the business value in your organization...now!
