PRINCIPLES
AN APPROACH TO BUSINESS DESIGN THAT STARTS WITH WHAT MATTERS
10 PRINCIPLES
-
Sharpening the saw - for ourselves and for others. We are advocates for personal and professional development that leads to incremental and continuous improvement.
-
Qualified practitioners, we promote a holistic approach to business development, help you see how the different parts interact, and help you to lead from a place of purpose. Your business needs to understand its impact socially, economically and ecologically.
-
We support you in becoming the expert entrepreneurs and innovators. We dedicate ourselves to be the practice ground by which you can develop and grow.
-
We all have mental models that define and confine our thinking, we believe in fostering challenge through diversity. Nothing to fear here but reinvention and renewal.
-
Regional prosperity fosters opportunity, encourages bravery and develops a place we all want to belong. We want a place where we can be proud of what it does and the jobs it creates.
-
We advocate for the collective rather than the individual response to value creation. Collaboration and team efforts deliver a greater impact. If we can do it together, in partnership, we will.
-
Establish channels for open communication, use technologies to overcome silence, and encourage the community to express themselves freely. We want to over-communicate rather than stay silent.
-
Test and learn, hone and improve. Embrace a scientific mind to grow business. Be smart about data, use it to understand risk, and learn from failures.
-
Co-create to innovate; find your customers, and use their insights to generate new ideas. Encourage and seek feedback, listen first (two ears - one mouth), then adapt and thrive.
-
Treat others as you would like to be treated by them. Do not say anything at all if you can’t say something positive, be respectful.
