COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS
RRC has worked in collaborative leadership and decision processes for more than 30 years. Effective collaboration that yields trust, creativity, and lasting solutions is our specialty.
The most important planning and policy issues of our time demand the sustained involvement of a broad spectrum of interests to arrive at the best solutions. Collaborative leadership, marked by shared decision-making and accountability, accesses the collective wisdom of many perspectives and thereby creates lasting results. RRC specializes in Collaborative Process: the development and implementation of inclusive, engaging, results-oriented processes that produce meaningful outcomes.

RRC offers cutting-edge decision-support software to support collaborative decision-making, customized to your situation to provide powerful insight in complex decision environments. No more spreadsheets, no more black-box, no more parsing based on "what we did last year" or political whim. Instead, an easy input process for as many stakeholders as desired, transparent results captured in a variety of compelling graphics, with real-time ability to modify.
- Many individual perspectives are easily incorporated so that true collaboration can take place in a fraction of the time normally needed - and individual insights can be collected virtually, alleviating the need for numerous and costly meetings.
- Decision-making reaches a whole new level of alignment: top strategic priorities drive resource allocation and program/project work.
- Strategic value is a clear and quantifiable driver, as opposed to basing decisions only on "low-hanging fruit."
- The basis of decisions is transparent, not only in the moment but also from year to year, so that learning and accountability can occur.
- And decision-relevant information is accessible real-time in a variety of illuminating graphic formats.
The more people involved in collaboration, the more important and demanding the process issues become. RRC designs and executes complex collaborative processes for clients involving the following components.
Expert Process Design and Management that works with clients’ goals and resources to achieve desired outcomes. RRC designs process that is both responsive and inclusive, which virtually eliminates negative backlash. The widespread support that results provides the launching pad for successful implementation.
Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement and Meeting Facilitation that is equitable, efficient, and participatory. RRC acts as the informed neutral agent, the sole focus of which is to ensure that all participants are able to make a meaningful contribution to the process and therefore have ownership of the final product. RRC’s facilitation style is dynamic, focused and synergistic, with the exceptional ability to bring about agreement and innovative solutions.
Technical and Policy Understanding and Linkage that builds on the momentum of each stage of the process to assess progress and incorporate unforeseen opportunities. While RRC’s expertise is process, the firm is highly adept at addressing technical subject matter, bridging it to the larger policy level issues involved.
Effective, Audience-Oriented Communication that fosters awareness and understanding of project goals and key messages. RRC ensures a comprehensive communications plan is developed that addresses the target audience(s). RRC is known for the inclusiveness of its processes that provide a range of opportunities for input and result in broad support.
Well-Conceived and Drafted Written Products and Other Communication that serve to document and help implement the results of the collaboration. These include meeting reports, PPTs, websites, news media materials, photography, handouts, and of course, the final written product.
