Our Story
We are a two-person team. Meeting in 2008, we became fast friends. Today, we stop bad meetings.
Today’s challenges are too daunting for isolated members working in pseudo teams. Solving hard, complex problems, requires real teamwork. Solid team alignment is essential. Great meetings are essential to success. How you present is a competitive advantage.
It’s helped not-for-profits and federal agencies for more than two decades.
It will help you.
The Alakai Squared Team

Casey knows first-hand the challenges facing leaders at the top. For 28+ years he’s shepherded C-Suite executives through new initiatives. Led large system engineering efforts, and helped small charities plan better strategies.
