Bio
Christopher Key
"The absolute best research we've ever had in the IT Program!". I have uttered those words on countless occasions when referencing Rick's abilities. Under his direction, The Hackett Group's IT assets have flourished. Not only does Rick create top-notch, well written, thought-provoking research, but he is an extremely reliable and proficient asset for creating all types of intellectual property. Hackett has enjoyed unprecedented participation in Performance Studies, Webcasts, and Events thanks to him. His ability to distill difficult concepts into understandable and relatable content makes him an extremely competent writer and researcher. His willingness to go above and beyond, helping to create and drive the direction of Hackett's point-of-view and position in the marketplace makes him a valuable team player. He is proven, relevant, and a dedicated member of the practice.

I worked with Rick for three years as the Global IT Practice Leader, and found his research to be the best that we have in support of the practice. Rick brings a unique perspective to his research that is not only well written, but is insightful in bridging the gap between IT and the business. He is always willing to help in support of various client facing activities, whether it’s building content, driving webinars, interviewing IT executives on leading trends, or simply developing marketing messaging that is used in support of promoting and positioning our program. I have found Rick to be a complete team player and an asset to the firm. It’s nice to have an Allstar on the team.
