HISG Models

Holistic, Integrated, Sustainable Transformation

The Holistic, Integrated, Sustainable, Tranformation (HIST) model is intended as a guide for humanitarian aid workers who want real, lasting change in their community. It is a new paradigm developed through HISG leadership's decades of international experience. As you view the HIST model, try to view it in light of a project that you are familiar with. Are the challenges and obstacles similar to those that your development project has faced? Would this sort of plan and process have made your project easier to measure and manage? We believe that the HIST Model, more than anything else, provides the strategy for workers who want to move beyond doing things right to doing the right things.

International Disaster Response

The International Disaster Response (IDR) model provides a roadmap for private sector organizations to know exactly how, when, and where to engage in disaster response. It is becoming more evident that communities need the combined efforts of the government and a full spectrum of private sector participants in order to effectively respond to and recover from a disaster. HISG is a leader in connecting resources from across the private sector and organizing them for efficient and effective disaster response operations.
