The Roffey Park 2024 Organisational Development Conference welcomes Kuʻulani Keohokalole as keynote speaker.
One of the most anticipated events on Roffey Park's calendar is the annual Organisational Development (OD) Conference, scheduled for the 24th-25th of October. The conference will bring together a diverse group of thought leaders, industry experts, and OD practitioners worldwide to explore the latest trends, strategies, and innovations in OD.
This year, the conference theme is “Thinking Global, Acting Local”, exploring the dynamic interplay between global perspectives and local actions in the field of organisational development. In today’s interconnected world, organisations are increasingly navigating complex global challenges while also attending to the unique needs and contexts of their local communities. Over the two days, guests will have the opportunity to engage in interactive workshops, thought-provoking keynote sessions, and networking activities, all aimed at equipping them with the latest knowledge and insights to navigate the complexities of modern organisational structures.
Joining Roffey Park will be an international cohort of keynote speakers including Kuʻulani Keohokalole who established People Strategies Hawaiʻi in 2019 with the vision of growing the capacity of organizations to foster community-minded and people-oriented leaders. She trains, consults, and supports organizations across sectors and industries who are looking to transform around the ways they engage people to achieve their mission.
Kuʻulani was grounded in the traditional Native Hawaiian cultural practice of ho`oponopono by her grandmother, who was a community-based practitioner. The art of reconciliation, and making things right, guides her approach to facilitation and consultation with organizations, stemming from the belief that clients hold the answers to their own challenges, that who shows up and how they show up matters, and that waiting for the moment is key.
Ku’ulani received the distinctions of Pacific Business News’s “40 Under 40” in 2020 and Hawaiʻi Business Magazine’s “20 People To Watch for the Next 20 Years” in 2023. She is a sought-after speaker on topics of diversity, equity and inclusion, Hawaiian & indigenous values, organizational culture and leadership, and psychological safety in the workplace. Past speaking engagements have included clients such as 3M, Amazon, Microsoft, New York University, Georgetown University, the East-West Center and the YWCA.
Kuʻulani is a trained coach with the Co-Active Institute. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ethnic Studies and Women’s Studies from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, a Master’s of Arts degree in Education Leadership, Politics and Advocacy from New York University, an Executive Certificate in Organizational Consulting & Change Leadership from Georgetown University.
Roffey Park Institute and venue together create a unique ecosystem for learning, development, and collaboration. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, the OD conference promises to be an enriching experience that will equip you with the insights and connections needed to navigate the future of work.
