Data-driven, community supported solutions
From rethinking regional revenue to transportation investment to shaping signature public spaces, IMS identifies opportunities where timing, interest and capacity align to make real change possible.
We have four core beliefs that undergird our work:
- Policymaking is most successful when cross-sector, multi-jurisdictional parties sit down and work together.
- Policymaking needs to be built around a shared vision and shared definition of the problem.
- Policymaking should be grounded in data and case studies showing what has worked in other jurisdictions, and should center the most impacted.
- Policymaking only matters if it leads to action.
IMS is not afraid of thorny policy challenges. We demonstrate how a collaborative process, a shared vision and a focus on action leads to bold and innovative policy that can help the region thrive.
