Principles & best practices

We are firm in our beliefs, but are flexible in finding ways to make our approach fit your needs

We are committed to the joint cause/project, and are willing to put our money where our mouth is

Talking about what needs to change is good, experiencing change is better; actions speak louder than words

We will inspire & surprise you by introducing new ways of thinking & drawing you out of your comfort zone; true change requires courage

We have honest (sometimes tough) conversations, with respect for the individual but with the end in mind

Our approach will be people-centric, delivering value for all stakeholders and using people as the locus of change

There’s always more than one way of looking at things; we incorporate all relevant perspectives & interests

5 iterations of a design process will increase the quality of output a 1,000 times; we will iterate whenever possible

Intuition & experience have their uses, but at the risk of bias and prejudice; we make our approach fact-based & data-driven whenever possible

Solving hard problems requires hard work and perseverance; if you can’t have fun doing it, you probably won’t succeed

Collaboration isn’t just something you hope for or aspire to; it is something you consciously create (by organizing processes, people, tools and environments)

Many of today’s problems require a wide range of expertise and resources to solve; the network of collaborators you are able to leverage will often determine your level of success
