Team Values:

1) A culture of curiosity

Great thinkers congregate, collaborate, learn from each other, and get inspired.

2) No passion, no point

We need to love what we do and have fun doing it. Otherwise, what is the point for any of us?

3) Hungry eyes see far

Tenacity and resilience are vital to our success. Not every day will be easy, it’s how we handle it that matters.

4) Get comfortable being uncomfortable

This is what growing is all about. We need to push ourselves and push others around us.

5) We don’t stop until the work is done

We set deadlines and we deliver on them. Our team is known for always going the extra mile.

6) The glass is half full

A collective of optimists. Ignore the cynics. We have to believe that we are going to have an impact. Energy and enthusiasm are contagious.

7) No such thing as a bad idea

This doesn’t mean we’ll run with every idea but we’ll certainly build a culture where every opinion or idea is listened to and respected.

8) Let the work do the talking

Politics is a no go, we don’t talk our way out of situations. We roll our sleeves up and get great work out the door.

9) The devil is in the detail

Working at pace doesn’t mean we let stuff slip. We take pride in what we do. Sweat the small stuff, it all adds up.

10) The score takes care of itself

Concentrate on what will produce results rather than on the results, focus on the process not the prize.

11) Be nice

End of.
