"The HRDQ Experiential Learning Model™ is an excellent way to foster organizational change. The approach rests on the best of what is known about organizational learning theory, adult learning preferences, and effective teaching methods. Any other approach, such as pure lecture, computer assisted instruction, or group discussion is likely to fail to produce the results expected. The Model initiates and supports change in the most effective and lasting way we currently know by appealing to all learning styles in a systematic way."
  Rollin Glaser EdD
A prolific author, HRDQ founder, and creator of the HRDQ Experiential Learning Model, Dr. Rollin Glaser is an expert in the field of adult learning.
 
As a human resources executive in the 1970s, Dr. Glaser was driven by the need to help managers understand effective practices and behavior. In 1977 he co-founded Organization Design and Development, Inc. — the company that would become HRDQ. Here, Dr. Glaser and his staff created learning materials for consultants, trainers, seminar creators, and participants based upon his unique experiential learning model — a cycle of learning inspired by the work of theorists Kolb, Jones, Honey, Mumford, and others.
 
Rollin’s vision and influence led the company to offer a broad array of training solutions for many soft-skills topics, including team building, leadership, communication, and more.
 
Today, HRDQ publishes over 100 programs, assessments, games, simulations, and activity collections. In addition to his expertise in training and development, Dr. Glaser is a
musician and arts advocate. He holds an EdD in adult education from Columbia University, an MEd from Northeastern University, an MA from Columbia, and a BS from Northwestern University.
