A principle tenet of the HHA approach is an operational model that recognizes that organizations
are, at their core, a collection of people and capital investments (facilities and equipment)
driven by a common purpose. The HHA approach is to leverage this fundamental organizational
truism through direct engagement with a clients key personnel and then to develop capability-focused
organizational and strategic models that clarify the relationships between an organizations
key elements (skilled personnel, facilities, equipment and processes). Once the relationships
between the key elements of capability are highlighted and understood, an organizations leaders
can quickly assimilate this new understanding into performance criteria and metrics that can
drive systemic improvements across and throughout the organization, highlight areas for
productivity improvement initiatives, and/or identify human capital excesses or gaps that
require new learning, hiring or other workforce shaping techniques to boost performance.
