We are a boutique consulting firm focused on just people strategy
We deliver tailored, practical, and effective people strategies grounded in deep expertise and real-world experience.
Our mission is to transform the workplace by helping organizations unlock the full potential of their people.
We design people strategy as business strategy — driving performance, purpose, and progress. By shaping how people work, collaborate, learn, and grow, we build the workplaces we want to work in and the world we want to live in.
OUR APPROACH
We partner deeply to build custom people systems that align with your mission, unlock performance, and sustain real change.
Deep Partnership
We believe that the best solutions are customized to your context. We deeply embed ourselves in your organization to understand not just what is on-paper, but how you operationalize your values, lead your teams, and approach the work. Then we work, side-by-side, to ensure that our final products will integrate seamlessly into your culture and meet your unique needs.
Research-Based Design
If you call us nerds, you'll find us flattered.
Our team prides ourselves on our expertise in the research on excellent talent practices because we believe in proven solutions. We will pore over academic analysis, study best-in-class organizations, conduct internal research, and benchmark comparable organizations to ensure that our recommendations are grounded in what will actually work.
Change Leadership
We do not deliver a solution and wish you the best. We thoughtfully integrate change leadership approaches throughout our engagements to ensure that your work is able to thrive once we end our project. We believe that all projects must address the human aspects of change to ensure stakeholder buy-in and project success. And we work with you to ensure that you are ready to manage the change.
WHY JST PEOPLE STRATEGY
We are a BIPOC women-founded and owned firm, redefining what leadership in people strategy looks like.
We bring the rare combination of deep research expertise and hands-on, real-world leadership. We have served as Chief People Officers, heads of talent development, leaders of professional learning cohorts, and have consulted for dozens of organizations on people strategy. We know what it takes to build thriving, high-performance cultures. We've been in the trenches — scaling start-ups, leading turnarounds, guiding mature organizations — from the inside.
What sets us apart is our ability to bridge organizational strategy and people strategy. We don’t “do HR”, rather, we align your people practices with your mission, growth goals, and values to unlock lasting impact.
We'd love to understand more about your organization, your people practices, and you.
Through the conversation, we can more deeply diagnose how we can work together and what solutions we can best offer you.
