We are the architects of Harvard University Global System™(HUGS), a practical framework consisting of road maps, checklists and working templates for decision makers. The HUGS toolkit
has proven to be effective in managing change, complex projects, personal time and team productivity. The road maps have no counterparts for negotiating major deals and for forging lasting
alliances with multiple constituencies.
An independent study by Ernst & Young has confirmed that users of the Harvard® Planner, retailing for $20 to $30 saves each user 10 days per year, thus netting an unparalleled ROI. It is,
by far, the best in its price range.
Three managing partners lead PDI professional team: Alain Martin, Dr. André Potworowski and Dr. Norman Willis. All have led organizations dealing with complex global issues. Their
experience spans a wide range of sectors including R&D management, life sciences (health, food and nutrition, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology), software, aerospace, chemicals, pulp & paper,
banking, insurance, communication, defense and government.
