Hively strives to embody the following values and commitments across its portfolio of services:

  • Create safe spaces to build empathy, relish risk and failure, escape binaries, ignore expectations and assumptions, explore unorthodox solutions and engineer new ways of working that will make work and workplaces both more effective and kinder.

  • Build and support processes that reward courage, vulnerability and candor, because organizations thrive when the humans who populate them are cultivated with care.

  • Design and steward human-friendly processes that increase efficiency, deliver effective work, and that are rewarding and enjoyable to participate in.

  • Provide our clients with tailored and agile support that they might not otherwise have as an existing team.

  • Take a sustainable approach that focuses on building lasting capacity within client teams that will serve them long after our work is done.

  • Add value by incorporating innovation practices into our work, with a focus on bringing together best practices from both the public and private sectors...and beyond.

  • Embody our commitment to social justice through equity and inclusion practices within our organization and through our work with clients.

  • Uphold and disseminate the humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, independence and humanity.

  • Create partnerships with likeminded individuals and organizations who share our values and commitments.
