Mr. Hubbard is the inventor of the powerful Applied Information Economics (AIE) method. His management consulting career started 35 years ago with Coopers & Lybrand, focusing on the application of quantitative methods. The last 25 years he has completed over 200 projects for the application of AIE to solve current business issues in many areas including IT benefits and risks including cybersecurity, engineering risks, market forecasts for pharma and medical devices, environmental policy, mergers & acquisitions, Silicon Valley startups, the likelihood of success of new movies, and military logistics to name a few. His AIE methodology has received critical praise from Gartner, Forrester, and others.

He is the author of the following books (all published by Wiley, between 2007 and 2023):
