strategic partners
iQ 360® is a strategic business consultancy proudly headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Our perspective was forged in one of the world’s most interconnected stakeholder environments, strategically positioned between the East and West. The principles we refined advising Hawaii's leading organizations have been applied to some of the world's largest companies and most complex challenges.
Our Methodology
We believe the best decisions require more than data or expertise alone — they require judgment. The kind of judgment earned through experience and battle-tested under the toughest circumstances.
Our approach combines earned judgement with stakeholder intelligence technology, helping our clients anticipate risks, make the right decision for the moment, and communicate change effectively.
- We start with questions, taking in a 360-degree view that encompasses business priorities, political realities, competitive dynamics, stakeholder interests, macroeconomic and social trends.
- We seek root causes, looking beyond the surface to identify underlying problems and risks.
- We use predictive AI to simulate stakeholder behavior in response to our clients’ situation, giving us the ability to test different courses of action, prepare for outcomes, and surface unintended risks and consequences.
- We develop a strategy — a practical plan for lasting change.
- We translate that strategy into a compelling narrative that moves people to act with confidence and purpose.
- We measure and refine, monitoring and analyzing responses, so that together with our clients, we can learn, adjust and improve.

Our Code
We never settle.
We constantly evaluate, evolve, and set higher bars for success so growth is a given, not an option. We seek out the hardest problems to solve, not because we know all the answers, but because we’re hungry to be the best. Challenge is what fuels us.
We do things the right way.
We lead with heart.
We believe the way we achieve results matters as much as the results themselves. We know that trust is earned through character, strengthened through relationships, and reflected in how we show up every day.
Proudly Minority- and Woman-Owned
