The Package
Who we are. Who you are.
Our shared behaviours are what make our business.
Embrace uncertainty : Get comfortable with uncomfortable. Humans are hardwired to fear ambiguity and the unknown, but taking a calculated risk is the only way we’ve ever invented or survived.
Be daring: If you want to be great you won’t get there by standing still. Being daring might mean you sometimes have to break the rules. We champion the rule-breakers - they make change.
Be curious: Look where no one else is looking. Be eclectic and diverse in your reading and influences. Think of challenges as opportunities in disguise.
Be accountable: Do the right thing by your colleagues, your clients and yourself. You own the quality of your work. Good is never good enough. Own your failures alongside your successes. We learn more from them.
Be decisive: Don’t hedge. Our world moves fast, and data is illuminating. But sometimes you need to take a leap on little more than your gut feeling. Clear decision making creates momentum, inspires and leads from the front.
Be imaginative: When we’re young we have limitless imagination. Go there again. Everyone here is creative. And we are all only as good as our next great idea.
Be inclusive: We’re a deliberately diverse bunch who share a belief in the possible. Diverse perspectives generate collective intelligence. Our culture respects every perspective, every belief, every background.
Be direct: Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Don’t be afraid to voice your thinking - respectfully and with reason. Be conscious of how the things you do affect the people around you. How are you influencing them to be better and encourage them to speak up and add their voice?
We want to take you out of your comfort zone, to stretch and to learn. You must believe that anything is possible.
In short, we want you to be the best person you can be.
We know we're asking a lot.
So we give a lot back:
