Offering a top-tier education, Northeastern blends the classroom experience with that of the real world and is always looking for new opportunities to push the bounds of innovative education. Realizing their students are the true experts on their educational experience, they solicited BIF’s help to convene a group of them to reimagine learning experiences beyond the classroom.

BIF is helping United Way of Rhode Island (UWRI) engage Rhode Islanders from all walks of life in their Strategic Planning 2020 process through the experience design and facilitation of Community FIRST Conversations.

The Minds that Move Us initiative challenges communities to design innovative education and training models that create social equity and economic mobility, driven by the market demands of business and industry as well as the needs of youth and adult learners.

Our collaborative exploration of personalized medicine puts individuals and families at the center of the design process and bridges the exciting space between enabling agency at the consumer level and leveraging emerging technologies to transform customer experience and outcomes.
