Strategic thinking

The traditional strategic plan is dead. Strategy doesn’t take years to develop and document, only to sit on a shelf. Instead, strategic thinking is an iterative process. Rinfret Solutions & Strategy assists organizations to re-think strategic planning to create guideposts to meet short- and long-term goals. With more than a decade of experience, we employ innovative engagement tools to empower organizations to embrace and implement organizational change to succeed into the future.



data-driven research

Data must drive informed decision-making. We use a participatory approach to create, design and report information from stakeholders that lead to sound decisions. Depending on the question you are seeking to address, we can employ focus groups, polling, interviews and more to get you the answers you need. We have deep, tested experience in data design and implementation to meet current and future organizational needs.




teaching Development
