The Q operates as a loose network - with a small core team - as part of our unique solution stack to climate issues in complex settings.
Some of our members have known each other for years and worked together in other sectors. Some are newer to the network.
The collective started developing it's unique approach to climate issues because of a simple realization:
Ultimately, climate change is an existential challenge.
Truly strategic responses to this level of challenge are needed beyond market-based solutions and need the involvement of many, many people across sectors.
Over the last 4 years, the founder of the Collective has been testing various structures, approaches and practices to realize innovation - that's fit-for-purpose - at the organizational level.
Developed in collaboration with other cutting-edge and emerging strategies, the Q is just one of a leading wave of authentic and alternative approaches to dealing with the biggest issue of our time.

The Q Collective works with regional, human systems to turn challenging climate or environmental issues into common opportunities.
We do this through our unique physical-digital approach to making sense of difficult issues and constructing sustainable solutions which involve many actors, sectors or industries.
The Collective works with a diverse network of tradespeople, innovators, technologists, advocates, entrepreneurs, public servants, and technical experts who are engaged to solve problems.
Often, these people can be found in your region but aren't always known. One thing we do is build relationships.
Otherwise, our core team is a small group of committed people working from and for Hawai'i in our free time.
No, we're not.
The Q puts it's skin in the game and prioritizes relationships. That means that we don't put forward solutions we're not willing to work, invest in or operate some part of ourselves. We don't make pitch decks and walk away. If something doesn't work, we adapt and try again.
No hard problem is solved in a year, let alone overnight. So, the Collective is built to work with you on problems over time and have a direct stake in your success.
