Planning: Strategic, action & operational

HANO offers a variety of options to guide organization in strategic thinking, developing clearly articulated goals, objectives and action steps. We support incorporating year-round planning into the workplace culture, providing opportunities for continuous learning and improvement.

Our consultants will meet with staff and/or board members, review your organization's planning history and tailor appropriate tools and activities. When organizations fully implement strategic mapping, we average seven to ten days of on-site service over the course of a year.

Outcomes design and implementation

HANO's staff is locally and nationally recognized as leaders in outcomes design, training and implementation and can address outcomes development at all system levels – individual, programmatic, agency, sector and community.
HANO works with management to develop on-site training in outcomes design and implementation. We also provide presentations on the implications of results accountability for policy and fund development. We facilitate community initiatives to identify desired outcomes and appropriate community-level indicators.

Nonprofit board development

The roles and responsibilities of nonprofit boards often present significant challenges. With the pace of change and fluidity of the nonprofit sector, it is vital for nonprofit leaders to keep pace with changes affecting their responsibilities. HANO assists volunteer and professional leaders in understanding their roles and responsibilities so they can act effectively.

HANO board governance services respect the confidential nature of organizational issues while helping board and executive leaders to move their organizations forward.  Consultations range in nature and time frame.

Professional development

Nonprofit leadership and management has become increasingly dynamic as the sector applies technology, sharpens its customer focus, adopts accountability for results, manages rapid change and tackles other challenges. In the past, our organization supported executive director advancement through the Weinberg Fellow and Castle Colleagues programs. We are now working with Chaminade University, the University of Hawai‘i's community colleges and other partners to make such opportunities accessible to more nonprofit professionals and volunteer leaders statewide. HANO will work with your organization to identify and locate appropriate technical assistance.
