Hyde & Rugg Associates

Hyde & Rugg Associates was set up by Dr Jo Hyde and Dr Gordon Rugg.

We solve hard problems, by finding solutions that other people have missed.

We also specialise in methods for eliciting information that people find difficult or impossible to put into words.

As Hyde & Rugg, we do consultancy, training, workshops, talks, and product development. We are also academics and researchers.
