"HDR is a leading national firm, but the backbone of our company is strong local leadership. By developing and retaining local leaders, we will build the value of HDR and become One Great Sustainable Company as outlined in our 2012 Strategic Plan."
"We’ve succeeded throughout our history by maintaining focus on the needs of our clients. By strengthening our regional management teams and asking them to lead strategic and day-to-day operations in their areas, we will grow and be profitable as a firm while helping our clients grow at the same time. We’ll ask our teams to share resources, build on each other’s strengths and make decisions at the lowest possible level to ultimately build the value of HDR."
"Our existing business group structure has served us well, and we recognize the need to build on our success in Transportation, Water and Environmental & Resource Management while also developing new service areas. We can diversify in many ways, including acquisitions, and the key is to be flexible enough to grow by providing the delivery methods that are right for our clients.”
"Employee ownership is the cornerstone of our continuing success. Since the employee buyout of HDR in 1996, we have more than tripled in size. The reason is that our employees take personal accountability for the long-term growth of HDR and embrace the role as a trusted advisor for our clients. By adding value to our clients, we build on personal relationships and truly develop clients for life who will come back to us in the future."
"There are many ways for us to continue our leadership role in the industry, including geographic strengthening, leveraging our business synergies, winning mega-project assignments and capturing new growth markets. But at the core, our success hinges on the technical and professional excellence of employees. Nurturing the professional talents of our employees while developing the technologies and quality systems needed to serve clients will make us the Consultant of Choice that outperforms the competition."
"I'm very excited about the future of our company. With our culture and the markets we serve being strong, I truly believe the only thing that could hold us back is ourselves."
