Only partnering with people whose vision and values are similar to our own
Make sure you behave how you wish everyone else to behave

Pragmatism is to expend as little energy as possible to create the most positive change
All frameworks, models and processes are wrong but many are useful

We believe in the good in people & particularly those who have dedicated their lives to people first organisations
People thrive in an environment where they feel safe, trusted and understood
Be the person you wish to follow
How you might see that manifest working with us
Take the time to talk and understand the people you work with (not just βworkβ)
Take whatever it is youβre doing, deconstruct it and look at what people really need. Build it back up with a focus on those things. Acknowledge everyone in the room and make them feel safe and valid.
Appreciate everyoneβs knowledge level and communication needs
Remember and summarise what others tell you and play it back to them for further clarity
As soon as you realise a mistake, call it out with those that you made it with
Personalised and considerate emails, always specify something personal that you paid attention to
Embrace complexity
Principles
Complexity is something to be celebrated and taken head on
The only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing
Nothing is ever done, itβs only as far as you could take it with the knowledge you had at that moment
How you might see that manifest working with us
Donβt pretend to understand, ask all of the questions, especially the stupid ones
You should leave a project satisfied with what you did but knowing there is always more to do
Understand the why together
Question everything
Principles
Thereβs always a better way and we endeavour to find it
The only constant is change, for better or for worse
"No man ever steps in the same river twice."
How you might see that manifest working with us
Question every part of the process
Question established wisdom within an industry
Question but then accept if no change is possible (see pragmatism)
Enjoy mischief
Principles
Itβs not worth doing if you canβt have fun with it
Mischief is a wonderful outlet for difficult times
Reserve your jesters privilege whenever possible
Just because it's purposeful work doesn't mean you can't have fun with it
How you might see that manifest working with us
Using humour as a way to deal with difficult circumstances
Our work is often deep and meaningful but that doesn't mean we won't have fun with it
