2018

Dear friends,

 

2017 was a complicated year with so many lives disrupted. A year of destruction by hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and wildfires where time and again we were reminded of our frailty against forces larger than us.  Yet the power of human spirit and resilience kept shining through. 

 

Through it all we are honored and inspired by our clients' confidence in us. 

 

2017 was a year of deep learning for us at Ripples. We had exceptionally diverse engagements in 2017 - -- from autonomous cars to solar energy, from a federal agency to a $20B global company, from banking to life sciences, from San Diego to Oslo, from strategy to large-scale IT implementation...  We sincerely hope we are just a bit wiser!

 

2017 was a fulfilling year as we got exposed to some mind-boggling challenges - e.g. imagine surveying 8,000 people at subway stations in six weeks. 

 

2017 was a fulfilling year as we helped many top leaders and organizations across the globe on whether their mission was to improve access to justice or better healthcare. 

 

And it was a year filled with many memorable moments of pride - e.g. seeing apprentices earning the right to become master craftsmen in our signature leadership development program. 

 

Wishing you a new year filled with wonder, much learning, health, and happiness.  Let's hope 2018 proves to be a year of calmer seas and smoother sailing.
