Mellor Murray Consulting led the Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bio-Economy (CRIBE) through a detailed process to discuss and ultimately establish the vision for the future of the Ontario-based non-profit organization. The CRIBE board consists of members with significant industry expertise and skill sets representing the forestry industry, chemical industry, banking, economic development, northern development, manufacturing and senior levels of government. The assignment included pre-workshop interviews with all board members, pre-workshop briefing note, a full day visioning workshop, interim report and a subsequent half day workshop to develop and confirm the board’s vision, mission and desired outcomes in four strategic priority areas.
