Testimonials from our Clients & Stakeholders
Cheryl Mirer, Past Executive Director of Downtown Pittsfield Inc.
“The DPI Idea Jam stood as a beacon of innovation, demonstrating the power of collaborative design thinking in driving community engagement and economic growth. The synergy between DPI and R3SET Enterprises not only bolstered the Idea Jam’s success but also ignited a promising chapter in the journey of downtown Pittsfield’s resurgence.”
A. Lynch, M.Ed, BART Charter
“As a DEI practitioner for over a decade, I am always searching for innovative ways to collect valid qualitative data. Impactful equity work is guided, and measured, by the voices of the community. The Idea Jam not only collects and displays the full breadth of whichever theme we explored, but it is also the most inviting tool for crowd sourced engagement that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I would resoundingly recommend the team at R3SET for your next data dive; strategic planning kick off; or for building community engagement loops within the structure of your organization. Wonderful work folx!”
Erika Allison, Consultant
“R3SET is a truly revolutionary movement bringing community-powered innovation to the most resistant challenges. As the saying goes, “we can’t solve our problems with the same thinking that got us here.” Through their programs and frameworks, especially Idea Jam, all stakeholders have a voice in creating new paths forward, leading organizations and causes faster and farther to new paradigms.”
Jonathan Butler, 1Berkshire
‘The R3SET team has become a valued partner for our organization, providing an important toolbox of resources that have proven critical for bringing the community together. As we continue working to become a more inclusive, collaborative community, the Idea Jam model serves as a key platform for dialogue, data collection and thought leadership.”
Ben Lamb, 1Berkshire
“Team R3SET has become an integral partner in a breadth of economic development, entrepreneurship and community dialogue facilitation over the past few years. Their Idea Jam product has become a great model for bringing together collective voices over common challenges and opportunities, and their Digital Business Accelerator during the COVID-19 pandemic became a lifeline for a number of regional businesses to help them build their market in a time of crisis. From ideation to reinvention, the innovative products and approach that they have taken has proven to be a great addition to the regional entrepreneurial and economic ecosystem of the Berkshires and beyond.”
Deborah Gallant, Past Executive Director of E for All Berkshire County
“EforAll Berkshire County partnered with R3SET on a Digital Business program which we were able to put together very quickly in early Covid, to help local small business owners who were behind with their online presence. As one of our Board Members, John put forth a persuasive argument for this program and working collaboratively, we were able to deliver an intensive and actionable program in a remarkably short time frame. Between their creativity and guidance and Devon’s technical chops, the program was an unqualified success and we were even able to offer a second cohort in the same Covid year. Couldn’t have done it without them.”
