Broad Ripple Strategies represents nearly 30 years of experience crafting community and economic development strategies that build consensus, drive investment, and get results.
OUR APPROACH
The Broad Ripple Strategies team has helped more than 60 clients develop 90+ strategies for community and economic development, talent and workforce sustainability, and quality of place. From this work, we know there is no one-size-fits-all solution for positive change. The BRS approach begins with understanding the needs and goals of your community or organization and designing a customized engagement that is right for you.
We also know that you can’t do it all at once. The BRS team uses its experience to help you identify priorities and focused strategies that will get the most out of your time and resources. We help you determine not just what you need to do but how and with whom to ensure you make a broad impact in your community or organization.
