The Ideas That Guide Us SHARING OUR CORE PRINCIPLES
solution on page 4
This month, we’re kicking off a series focusing on a core foundation of our firm: the value creation principles. There are nine in total, each with its own focus that takes a principle from abstract ideal to actionable item. We wanted to spend time delving into each one and explain how each informs the way we do business. Think of it as a look at the internal workings of our firm’s guiding compass. The first principles we’ll be covering are foundational to the way we carry ourselves as individuals and as a firm. Focus: All decisions, internal and external, maintain a focus on what brings maximum value to our clients. We list this principle first for a reason. It informs the rest of the list, ensuring that we always stay true to the people who matter most: the clients we serve. In a way, this is our version of a Hippocratic oath — every decision we make should be guided by what is best for you, the client. Focus: Why are we here? Make your contribution greater than your reward. This principle is all about innovation. If we, as individuals or as a whole, aren’t producing value, we’re losing it. By pushing ourselves to always bring more to the table, we foster a culture that is always seeking new solutions and perspectives. Focus: Professional and personal growth. Challenge what is. Don’t accept average or okay. No one wants to be stagnant in their personal or professional life. That’s why we find this principle so important. It’s there to push us when we might be tempted to rest on our laurels, and it challenges us when we think we’ve reached our full potential. Where other principles guide our path, this is the ideal that propels us forward. CLIENTS AT THE CENTER ALWAYS CREATING VALUE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
