Who We Are

Broad Ripple Strategies represents nearly 30 years of experience crafting community and economic development strategies that build consensus, drive investment, and get results. After many years at nationally prominent firms, our principals decided the time was right to start a company that reflects our values and perspectives on what works in community and economic development.

We believe that “impactful strategies create broad ripples.” Instead of boilerplate plans overloaded with initiatives that are unlikely to be implemented, we identify the catalytic projects and programs that lead to big impacts in communities and organizations. Rather than a one-size-fits-all process, we customize our approach to meet the needs and goals of each client. And we create strategies for action, not for shelves. We use our knowledge of best practices from our work in more than 60 communities around the United States to set our clients up to succeed.
