“I worked side by side with Jim through one of our most celebrated design sprints for the Fetzer Memorial Trust.
This is what I discovered and I suspect anyone who works with Jim will discover as well:

Jim’s end output is powerful, but what is behind that is what makes it extraordinary.

1) An uncommonly insightful view of the cultural gestalt and therefore how it will fit into the lives of today’s humans.
2) A diligent adherence to a sound strategic foundation upon which awe-inspiring projects can be built.
3) An understanding that true creativity is an expression of ideas that change hearts and minds.

Then there is Jim Rider the human being. It’s one thing to get to work with an incredibly talent. It’s another to get to work with a talent, who in addition is one of the most thoughtful, loving, generous and genuine people we will ever come across.

Jim is all that.
