We work to provide practical and accessible solutions to client concerns, including, where desired, assistance in developing local capacity and networks required for successful implementation. In over 25 years of working with federal, state, and local governments, industry groups, universities, and regional organizations, we have evolved a capacity to research complex problems effectively and translate our findings in ways that are readily understood and, where appropriate, actionable. We have a proven ability to thoroughly examine complex issues, keeping the big picture in mind while not losing sight of the critical details.
