Strengthening the capacity of individuals, organizations and communities for a better Hawai‘i

About

About Us

We are an organizational development consulting practice that was established in Hawaiʻi in February 2019. Our firm works with organizations, from small to large, who are looking to create systemic change around how they work with their people to achieve their mission. We blend our unique understanding of the complexity of Hawaiʻi’s ethnic culture with our knowledge and experience in organizational development to help you achieve your strategic transformation goals.

Are we the right fit for you?
People Strategies Hawai’i may be a great partner if your organization is:

  • Undergoing or desiring to undergo complex change in your organization

  • Seeking guidance on embedding diversity, equity and inclusion within your internal systems and practices

  • Wanting help navigating complex people- and community-centered situations

  • Rethinking the ways you do things or pivoting your people practices due to COVID-19

Perhaps your organization is experiencing pain. Employees may be burnt out; maybe your good talent is leaving. Old ways of working might be outdated, or not reaching the same outcomes, particularly in this new, rapid-changing climate. Managers may be inexperienced and unable to lead people to do their best work. Or perhaps your organization is growing and expanding, and needing support getting to the next stage. Like the work of a nutritionist, we assess and focus on supporting organizations for their optimal effectiveness and health. Each organization is at different stages in their “health” journey. Towards that end, we don’t assume that what works for one will work for another. We partner with you to identify your organization’s unique needs and customize our efforts to help you.


About the name People Strategies Hawai’i

Our name begins with the word people, because building relationships with people and orienting ourselves to the impact by, for, and because of people is our utmost priority.

We focus on building strategies - not one-offs, nice-to-haves, or a smattering of random acts - because we want to intentionally help organizations be effective with an eye towards their goals.

Finally, we are grounded in the values and culture of the unique place that is Hawai’i.

Our logo embodies this concept, symbolizing a hub and spokes, reaching out and connecting people and ideas, and centering them around a common goal or purpose.
