About Me
Hello, I am Dr. Arthur M. “Art” Graziano, a confirmed Pracademic! I have officially launched GrazianoHumanCapital.com in 2022. This concierge retained services consultancy has covered Non-profits, Utilities, Healthcare and Education.
I bring learning from my daytime Human Capital consulting to the classroom and vice versa! Currently, I am also the Division Manager of Human Resources and Technology at Braintree Electric Department by day and Senior Lecturer at Curry College, U of Maryland and Johnson and Wales University by night!
My career spans over 30 years of Senior level Human Resource Management experience in union and non-union settings, with particular emphasis on Human Resource Planning and Staffing, Labor Relations, Compensation Modeling, Training and Development, Organizational Design and Development and Leadership training and mediation.
Courses I teach include Organizational Behavior, Leadership, Labor Relations, Human Resource Management, Training and Development and Compensation Management at Northeastern University from 1986 to 2007; and since 2007 at Curry College, Penn State, University of Maryland and Johnson and Wales master’s study level courses. I have also lectured at BU, Suffolk and Emerson on various Human Resource topics.
My education includes a B.S. in Personnel/Industrial Relations, Graduate Certificates in Human Resource Management and High-Performance Management, a Master of Science in Leadership (with a Human Resource Concentration) from Northeastern University. I also hold a national certification with the International Personnel Managers Association (IPMA) and the National Public Employee Association as a Certified Labor Relations Professional (CLRP).
I have also completed forty hours of mediation training in accordance with M.G.L. ch. 233 sec. 23C with MWI in Boston (October 2012).
My Doctorate in Law and Public Policy (LP.D) from Northeastern was conferred in August 2009.

Dr. Art Graziano has been an advisor to our Human Resource consulting practice for over eight years at Tipping Point Group Corporation.
He has provided insight and value for unique situations related to our clients. He brings an understanding of the challenges our clients are experiencing. He knows that “one size fit” solutions is not necessarily true.
He anticipates the obstacles they may encounter. He offers actionable solutions for both short term and long-term business success with follow-up throughout the various stages to ensure progress is being made.
Dr. Graziano is the external partner that you want as a resource for the changes that occur in human resources regularly.
Paul Coyne
, Hospital for Special Surgeries,
Dr. Art Graziano is a preeminent leader in the field of human resources with vast academic, strategic, and special expertise in all related domains including contract negations, mediation, labor relations, benefits and policy development.
The unique output yielded because of his ability to couple his robust knowledge base with his ability to fuse authenticity and compassion into otherwise potentially sterile discussion is unparalleled in the field.
When I really need help with a complex situation, Dr. Art Graziano is the first person I call.
Tim Flynn
, Flynn Financial,
I have found Dr. Graziano, or “Dr. G” as I like to call him, to truly be at the pinnacle of his craft. Without hesitancy, I routinely bring him into any of my institutional clients whether in the governmental, non-profit or for-profit sectors for virtually any “people-related” issue(s) they may have. Over the past decade, I have used him as a real “Dr. Fixit” in the HR space and my clients have routinely thanked me for the introduction. Whether a simple ‘block-and-tackle’ project; or a more detailed project such as designing an integrated Executive Comp to attract, retain and motivate talent; or a more delicate Labor Negotiation and Meditation, his breadth of knowledge and experience with regards to human resources matters is most impressive and, unlike most consultants he is a team-player and works in a cooperative and non-adversarial way with the employees and external advisors alike to make the organization better. I give Dr. G 5-Stars and a ringing endorsement!
