Team Values
Values are easy to have until they are tested by reality. As a company, what makes us different is that we rarely take the easy way out and we want to keep our growing team true to this ethos. We recognise that companies and people all have different values and there is no right answer. We do seek similar values and culture in our team
Make it matter to operations and the public
We cut through the complexity to focus on the difference to end operations and the public. We value the role we can play in facilitating and unpicking blockers for change as an external agent, even when this means difficult conversations with stakeholders.
Make a difference
We are driven by making an impact both within our paid services and through voluntary activities. We celebrate where we can see we’ve made a difference. If we aren’t making an end difference we change it. We agree a level of time and financial commitment across the business to commit to our own activities.
A mix of ideas and backgrounds gives the best value from our services
Our team draws experience from a wide range of geographies, industry sectors and organisation cultures, and we know from this that there is rarely a single right answer or approach to the challenges our clients face.
We know that diverse teams made of those with different backgrounds, perspectives and talents drive creativity and innovation allowing us to continually grow and improve. We foster an environment where different thoughts and ideas can be supported and incubated, and safeguard time for this against operational pressures.
Provide a Service
We seek a fair price for the services we offer. For work we’ve won we continue to seek ways to add value and provide service. We don’t coast, bloat or knowledge hoard on a contract. If we can’t add value (after innovation and perseverance to do so), we seek graceful exit/knowledge handover to client.
Value driven company
As a company we choose long term value-add activity over short term cost/margin. Growing our reputation and demonstrating consistent quality of service is important to us and is expected at every level of the company.
Team development and support
We work as a team with a mix of skills that need to work together to deliver value. Learning and change as an organisation is key to the way we work. Everyone is committed to their own personal development, and the company is committed to continuing individual and team development. We help each other on work and in learning from experience and development of our team capabilities.
We make alternative and less comfortable options available to our clients, especially in areas where the familiar solutions tend to lead to familiar unwanted results.
