Praise for the Business Problem-Solving System...

“We at The Change Leader heartily endorse Rick Hubbard’s Business Problem-Solving System (BPSS).

This system and its books and training programs provide consultants with excellent tools for determining the systemic causes of problems with business behavior and performance prior to recommending appropriate interventions.

Consultants of all skill levels will benefit by adopting and adapting BPSS tools, approaches, and methods in their practices. As the saying goes, 'prescription before diagnosis is malpractice!' "

“Rick has done a great job with the Business Problem-Solving System (BPSS).

He makes clear the dangers of leaping to solutions while bypassing or skimming over the vital diagnosis stage. Leaders who may be reluctant, or too impatient, to get that diagnosis done will see that it's not so big a challenge, provided they have the appropriate methods for the task.”

“I have known Dr. Hubbard professionally and personally for more than 25 years. It is no exaggeration to say that the greatest successes of my career would not have been possible without his thinking and approaches regarding complex business problems. He always starts with a strong academic foundation so that you understand the basis for the approach and can apply it fully in your context. This is followed by pragmatic implementation tools that make introducing new ideas into complicated consulting and business situations practical. Rick has been important to my professional success; with this book, he may be to yours as well.”

“The Business Problem-Solving System lays out a ‘from the trenches’ approach to turn information into data into insights into results, empowering businesses to tackle challenges or exploit opportunities. It's not so much Occam's Razor, as it is Occam's Chainsaw.”
