It was wonderful spending time with the Outrigger ‘ohana last week at the Travel Weekly opening reception. We got an exclusive first look at the renderings for the $100 million transformation of Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort and it looks stunning.

They're reimagining the guestrooms, refreshing the public spaces, and expanding the Voyager 47 Club Lounge. All while keeping that authentic “barefoot luxury” feel grounded in Waikiki’s culture and connection.

The resort will stay open throughout the renovation, with new guestrooms debuting in Q3 2026. Smart approach.

Succession Planning in seconds.

When leaders leave, unprepared internal promotions cost Hundreds of Thousands in lost revenue, knowledge gaps, and team disruption.

WHAT FUNCTIONAL SUCCESSION PLANNING REQUIRES:

– Identify 5-7 critical roles (GM, Director of Sales, Revenue Manager, F&B Director, Controller)

– Document real capability requirements for each role—not just job descriptions

– Assess current talent honestly: who's ready today vs. who could develop with preparation

– Build development through stretch assignments and real experiences, not generic training

– Review talent pipeline quarterly with same rigor as financial reviews

YOUR ACTION: List your critical roles this week. For each one, answer honestly: "If this person gave notice tomorrow, is their successor actually prepared to step up and succeed?"

If the answer is no, you have exposure.

💡 Our CEO, Andrew Duran, breaks down why leaders who’ve truly lived the hotel business need to be prioritized, and shares his tips for how owners can place them where they’ll have the biggest impact.

From pharma to hospitality, precision and real-world experience are non-negotiable—especially when the competition is this high.

In the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries, where a single error could cost lives, I learned precision isn’t optional—it’s everything. For over a decade, I’ve built leadership teams and operational systems that thrive in high-stakes environments.

Your team isn’t built in a conference room once a year.
Want a world-class hotel? You need world-class people — built through real, consistent, in-the-moment training.
Hospitality moves fast. So should your training.

Daily development. Daily impact. That’s how great teams stay sharp.

That perfect lobby photo? Great for social… but if your guests can’t relax, connect, or get work done — they won’t be posting from your hotel next time.

Too many hotels pour CapEx into trendy spaces that look good but forget what keeps guests coming back: comfort, functionality, and experience.

Design with purpose — not just for the photo.
