Clarity

Wherever we work, whatever we do, we concentrate on listening really hard and identifying a crystal-clear way forward.

We take the time to understand what needs to happen and then dig deep into our experience to define workable, deliverable solutions that drive tangible impact.

In everything we do we fight against ambiguity and indecision.

Action

Drift is our enemy.  Wherever we see it, we act. When indecision and procrastination tempt us, we resist.  We always try to side with Elvis – “a little less conversation and little more action please” and we use expressions like “nice chat, but what are we actually going to do?”

We focus on small, next step actions, drive progress through rhythm and get cross with ourselves when things don’t get done.

When we want to get somewhere we start walking!

Accountability

We define our roles, shape our people and run our business so that things get owned and things get done.

We don’t let the inefficiencies of others surprise or derail us and even when blaming others is the path of least resistance we stop ourselves, challenge what our next move can be and redouble our own efforts to get results.

The only way to predict the future is to create it!

Independence

We want everyone empowered, able to get on with their own job with the right knowledge and right tools to be as effective as possible as quickly as possible.  When we are blocking this or slowing it down we know we must act!

No-one is born an expert.  If we know where the quicksand is we won’t make someone walk through it just for the sake of it.

We love seeing people grow, find their natural place in life and fulfil their potential.

Wherever we can, we will push people to progress themselves and speed up their journey to success and whatever happens we’ve “got their back”.

Fun

We know we have to work hard but we also insist on having fun. We take what we do very seriously: quality is key, effort is everything, competence is king, but laughter should never be more than a few minutes away.

When we get lost in the “heavy stuff” we remember to make ourselves smile once in a while. When we are mucking about too much we slap ourselves on the wrists and get back to work!
