What’s in a name?
We love the idea of creating positive ripple effects through our work and through giving back to the community. Ripple Consulting Group was also inspired by the Grateful Dead song, “Ripple.” As a baby, Katie’s son would stop crying in the car every time “Ripple” was played. And it’s still a favorite!
