"R3SET facilitated an ID3A Jam for Berkshire United Way’s healthcare workforce initiative. Their innovative approach helped the diverse group coalesce around common themes and their excellent facilitation assisted us into translating those ideas into goals and action steps. R3SET’s inclusive approach ensured all participants from nursing students to health advocates to hospital administrators had equal access and opportunity to participate which resulted in a truly collaborative plan to expand the healthcare workforce in the Berkshires."

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.

"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!"

"Team R3SET has become an integral partner in a breadth of economic development, entrepreneurship and community dialogue facilitation over the past few years. Their ID3A 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."

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.

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.
