• We care about what we each accomplish, not where we work from or how many hours we put in.
• We want working together to feel effortless and the ways we work together to be intuitive.

• We’re not satisfied with the status quo: we don’t think “because that’s how it’s always been done” justifies a course of action. We challenge each other, think critically, and strive for objective decision-making.

Together with our network of Hubs and partners, we’re building a better business as usual.
