“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” - Peter Drucker
Our operating principles define how we approach every interaction with our clients and each other. They serve as the foundation for our culture and guide the way we collaborate, problem-solve, and deliver exceptional outcomes.
Who we are
- Focused. Our clients face many challenges and we relentlessly cut distractions to align on specific outcomes. We are engaged, resolute, inquisitive, and guide alignment with stakeholders and business goals. We seek to tie micro efforts to macro context.
- Exothermic. We emanate care for delivering quality because we master our craft. We share our enthusiasm for delivering quality software with everyone around us. We grow our spheres of influence without the need for authority.
…an exothermic process is a thermodynamic process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, electricity, or sound. - Unintimidating. We are experts and welcome clients to share their challenges with us. We believe a positive experience for our clients requires technical expertise and delivering exceptional service. We are inclusive and open to diverse opinions.
- Radically Candid. We respect our clients' processes, culture, and ways of working while pushing them towards better ones. We understand the “why” behind their workflows and collaborate in a way that helps build strong partnerships and deliver exceptional results.
How we work
- Trusted advisors. Our success is our client’s success. We seek to build trust and influence for mutual gain without authority or compromising our values. We leave our clients in a better place than when we started. We bring clients on our journey and build with them. A project is only successful when it ends with a warm goodbye.
- Meet clients where they are. We understand the current state, needs, and preferences of our clients. We adapt our consulting approach to align with the client's resources, goals, and existing systems or processes. We seek to positively disrupt our clients and introduce pragmatic change.
- Create predictable change. Software is notoriously hard to estimate and our processes seek to build confidence in delivery. Software testing, user interviews, demos, and data-driven decision making are just a few ways that we pursue and operate on feedback to create predictability in change. We refine our processes through iteration and speak openly about risks, setbacks, and misses.
- Urgency and intention. We are committed to making the most of our client’s time. We have a bias for action and persist to ensure that every minute spent with us is purposeful and contributes to client goals.
