KCHP: A Smarter AV Solution for Learning and Development with Cisco

Organization: Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance
Industry: Learning & Development
HBS Service: Comprehensive AV Solutions

The Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their potential through education, personal development, and holistic well-being. Their slogan, “Potential Made Possible,” reflects their commitment to creating an environment where growth is encouraged and accessible. To further this mission, they needed a cutting-edge audio-visual (AV) solution that was technologically advanced yet simple to use, adaptable to any device, and completely hassle-free.

That’s where HBS stepped in.

THE NEED
A high-quality, user-friendly AV system built from the ground up to support a variety of programs and events—device agnostic, easy to use, and ultra-reliable.
THE SOLUTION
A Cisco-powered AV solution with frustration-free connectivity, high-quality audio and video, and intuitive controls.
THE OUTCOMES
A hassle-free, future-ready audio and video environment that empowers users, enhances collaboration, and supports the KCHP mission of Potential Made Possible without technical barriers.

The Challenge

When the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance took over their new space, they were starting from scratch—looking for the best possible AV solution for their needs. KCHP’s goal was a versatile, high-performing AV system built from the ground up. Their vision was clear:
      1. Device Agnosticism: Compatibility with any device brought into the space.
      2. Ease of Use: Technology should empower users without requiring technical expertise.
      3. Reliability: A frustration-free experience, free from the typical annoyances associated with AV systems.
In short, their AV solution had to be an extension of—not an impediment to—the experience of calm, learning and inspiration that defines the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance.
We needed technology in here that was an agnostic AV system. We have a lot of different kinds of groups that come in here that use Apple products, Chromebooks, or even just their phone and we wanted something that allowed anyone to come in here and connect to our system with ease.
Todd Kraiss
Performance & Coaching Leader, Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance

The Solution

KCHP partnered with HBS to design, install, and continue to support a comprehensive AV solution that transformed the Center’s space. From day one, the system was built to support KCHP's unique needs—without retrofitting or workarounds. 

The Cisco-powered solution delivered:

  • Mounts, Displays, and Cabling: Integrated for both smooth functionality and aesthetic appeal.
  • Microphones, Speakers, and Air Media: Guaranteeing high-quality sound and wireless presentation capabilities.
  • Cisco Conferencing Tools: Providing industry-leading solutions for meetings and collaboration.

KCHP now has a hassle-free system that lets users connect effortlessly, and focus on learning and collaboration without being bogged down by technical hurdles.

Hear From the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance

When we first started this audio-visual enhancement journey, we could tell that HBS, as a vendor, was really listening to us. Integrating technology into everything we do is the future. The faster we embrace that, the more set up we are to be versatile and adaptive and reach success. HBS was very helpful in giving us cutting edge solutions so we could continue to enhance our learning environment.
Brandon Moore
Executive Director of Learning Development, KCHP
I think having technology that is easy to use at a moment’s notice, eliminates lulls in a conversations or in a class. You want technology not to be an impediment, you want it to be there when you need it and go away when you don’t. In this day and age, you have to have technology that works and technology that fits your space, and that’s what HBS has delivered at the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance—allowing KCHP to be a space of calmness and wellbeing.
Todd Kraiss
Performance & Coaching Leader, KCHP
