ABOUT
Firm Beginnings
In 2018, ABLE Operations was founded to bring world-class research and advanced data analytics to municipal and state governments. Both managing partners spent several years working at universities, state agencies, and consulting firms before deciding to start their own consultancy. The desire to establish an independent economic and workforce development research consultancy grew from years of witnessing municipal and state agencies receive biased or poor research guidance – one reason why economic development strategies often fail.
We recognized the need for an independent firm focused on delivering comprehensive,
transparent, and actionable insights. ABLE was born out of a desire to address this gap, combining our multidisciplinary expertise in economic and workforce development research with a commitment to providing unbiased and innovative recommendations.
