The High Road Merges Diverse Interests Into Broad Solutions
Taking the High Road
High Road Strategies, LLC is an industrial, economic and energy policy research, analysis, assessment and design consultancy. We specialize in advancing public policies and industrial strategies that promote the goals of:
- Sustainable economic growth and industrial competitiveness
- Energy security and environmental protection
- A skilled, well-trained workforce with family supporting incomes.
This is in sharp contrast to traditional or “low-road” economic and business strategies: those that presume economic objectives must be at odds with environmental, workforce development, and other social goals.
Our Approach
We take a unique approach to complex policy issues: a collaborative process combined with innovative analysis to produce High Road Solutions.
Collaborative Process
Actively engaging the participation of diverse stakeholders. These may include labor, business, environmental and public interest groups, communities, and government, whose views and interests regarding critical public policy (e.g., energy and climate) may not always align. The goal is to clarify and define problems so they are amenable to research and analysis. Ultimately this paves the way to policy solutions based on areas of common interest and agreement.
Innovative Analysis
Quantitative and qualitative research and analytical tools applied to the evaluation of economic, industrial, technological, energy and environmental policy issues. When appropriate to the scale and scope of a problem, we apply a variety of analytical tools, from simple input-output analysis to system dynamics modeling. This enables highly flexible, empirically-based dynamic evaluation of economic systems – to gauge behavior in response to alternative policy scenarios.
High Road Solutions
Our services are designed to provide empirically-grounded guidance to policymakers. This insures they can identify policies and strategies that are realistic in meeting the economic interests of multiple stakeholders, while also achieving critical public goals.
The High Road Process
High Road Strategies can apply a wide range of analytical and modeling tools and methods to research, analyze, and develop policy alternatives for complex policy problems, to produce a variety of results, outcomes & products.
