“Like many firms, we’re often challenged by our own capacity to take on internal initiatives. IBE helped us overcome that challenge by enhancing our team’s capabilities, while also providing valuable support, education, and perspective. We’ve collaborated with IBE for over a decade and knew they would be excellent partners to help with this initiative. We trust the team at IBE, have recommended them in the past, and will continue to recommend them to our friends and peers.”
“IBE helped us bring community members and neighbors to the table and turn concern and opposition into dialog and support. Their skillful facilitation and outreach techniques were perfectly designed to suit our needs and tremendously valuable in the ultimate success of our project.”
“IBE was a tremendous partner for us in our efforts to design and build a building that brings together sustainability and livability. From help with the initial conceptual vision to LEED certification, IBE helped guide us to meet our goals and create the best possible outcome.”
“IBE listened to us and created a path to being a better business that balances everything we do through the lens of people, planet, and prosperity. They transformed our business.”
