About

Who We Are

We don’t change in isolation

Founded in 2018, Rippl is a consultancy that blends human behavior, management science, and design-thinking into a dynamic approach to change. We specialize in participatory methods to collaborate in ways that transform people from passive observers to active participants.


When clients say, ‘there’s something different about working with you’—and they mean it in the best possible way—it’s the highest form of praise we get!

Vision

Creating a future where participation is synonymous with successful change, everywhere.

Purpose

Invigorating the way people learn, think, and solve problems-together.

Guiding Principles

  • We help bridge the gap between ‘what has been’ to ‘what could be.’ By relying on data and dialogue, we show clients opportunities they haven’t thought of before.

  • We believe the best ideas and most sustainable change emerges from collective effort where people are valued for their unique realities, ideas and contributions.

  • Compassion and humaness is our “je ne sai quoi” - the quality infused in everything we do. It powers our interactions, even the toughest ones, with dignity and respect for everyone.

  • We innovate with equal parts expertise in design and change to get to the heart of the matter. Behaviors and emotions are just as important as facts and data.

  • Intentionality sharpens our focus and keeps us disciplined amid uncertainty. Every interaction, act, and conversation is an opportunity to create and support change.

Erika Wahlstrom, MSOD

Erika set out to help people navigate change in a way that feels real, tangible, and aligned with their values. Early in her career, she found herself drawn to the human side of organizational life—how people respond to change, how they make decisions together, and how systems can influence behavior. Over the last 15 years, Erika has worked to bring together the best of behavioral science, design thinking, and participatory approaches to support purpose-driven change. Her work has spanned sectors and continents, from large-scale change initiatives to projects focused on leadership development, strategy, and social change.

 

Before founding Rippl, Erika was part of a national initiative to bring mental health conversations into the workplace. Well before it was mainstream. She helped build award-winning cultures and organizational capability that impacted hundreds of organizations.

 

Now, through Rippl, Erika coaches, facilitates, and consults with groups facing complex challenges. She serves as a trusted partner to organizations looking to do change differently—intentionally and collaboratively through learning, listening and working toward something better, together. She holds a Master of Science in Organization Development from Pepperdine—the world’s premiere organization development program.
