The Beginning of the Concept for Initiatives, Inc.

As a managing director for Right Management Consultants in Wichita, KS., Troy Carlson was responsible for building the market for a global consulting business with a mission to help individuals, teams and organizations grow. Understanding the importance of civic leadership, he publicly positioned the business to promote its objectives for growth and branding by not only serving clients but the community.

From 2001 to 2003, he founded and chaired a consortium of 43 business leaders called the Business Investment Group (BIG). Quickly after its inception, BIG united and launched a campaign called Fair Fare$, designed to overcome the most critical economic stumbling block for the community –affordable air service.

From 2002 to 2005, Troy was appointed by the mayor as Chairman of Fair Fare$, Inc., to represent private sector leaders. Fair Fare$ became internationally recognized as one of the most successful private/public air service campaigns ever launched. It was the honored as, “The Biggest and Best of 2002” by Business Facilities magazine and broke passenger growth records in a post 9/11 environment. Fair Fare$ is now referred to as “Affordable Air Fares for Kansans.”

The success of Fair Fare$ planted the seed for the Initiatives concept. So many organizations cannot but need to work with C-level executives and public officials to achieve a large-scale vision/mission with the ability to make it a reality.
