About Transform Hawaii Government

Transform Hawaii Government (THG) is a Honolulu-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that partners with Hawaii state government to accelerate modernization of business processes, data practices, and information technology so public services are more efficient, accessible, and people-centered. THG provides education, advocacy, grants, and advisory support — convening experts, sponsoring leadership and workforce programs, and formalizing partnerships (MOUs) with state agencies to support major projects such as the Enterprise Financial System (EFS) modernization and statewide data governance efforts. In the past 2–3 years THG has been actively engaged in public-facing summits, media outreach, and direct advisory roles with the State to advance digital transformation and workforce capacity building.
