Our Services
Broad Ripple Strategies offers a range of community and economic development services that we customize to meet the needs of your community or organization.
Competitive Assessment
Before you determine where you’re going, you need to know where you are. BRS generates customized research to assess your community’s competitiveness for jobs, talent, and investment. We won’t overwhelm you with pages of charts and tables. Instead, we’ll blend quantitative data with qualitative input to “tell the story” of your community in a compelling way.

Strategic Planning
A good strategy does more than identify a destination. It establishes a roadmap of major steps along the way that will create momentum towards your goals. Whether for an organization or a community, a strategic plan must be actionable to realize its potential. BRS believes in creating achievable strategies with focused priorities leading to positive, measurable impacts.

Implementation Assistance
We are more than just advisors, we are partners who will work with you every step of the way to get it right. We frequently work with clients after the conclusion of a strategic planning process to jump-start activities or make adjustments along the way. But sometimes a new strategy isn’t the answer. Your community may have “planning fatigue.” You may have a good plan in place but need clarity on what to prioritize next. You may have multiple strategies that need to be tied together. BRS can help you maximize the potential and impact of your new and existing strategic plans.

Do you need an objective advisor to navigate today’s hyper-competitive marketplace? We are a proven, knowledgeable team who can serve as trusted advisors.
