Our PURPOSE
— and the reason we exist as an organization —
is to improve competitiveness, as defined by
“Ohio’s capacity to produce goods and
services that succeed in global markets while
boosting the real income of our citizens.”
Our BUSINESS MODEL
is to catalyze major systems change by
assembling a compelling fact base, conducting
penetrating analysis, creating a sense of urgency,
mobilizing CEOs and architecting the solutions
that align best with the change vision.
Our CORE STRATEGY
— and a fundamental tenet contributing to our
success — is to focus attention on only the biggest
impact challenges, which has resulted in the
BRT addressing a select few critical
issues since its inception in 1992.
