WHERE INNOVATION BEGINS
we start with the customer
and work backwards

Our tenets of innovation
»Customer Obsession
“Start every process with the customer and work backwards.”
»Long Term Thinking
“Be stubborn on the vision but flexible on the details.”
»If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.
“We are willing to go down on a bunch of dark alleys and occasionally we find
something that really works.”
»You have to be willing to be misunderstood for a long time.
“We are very comfortable being misunderstood.”

‘Loosely Coupled Systems’
The looser they are coupled,
the bigger they scale,
the less dependencies,
the faster you innovate.

It’s about the Culture
Culture is the “software of the mind.” It is the
core logic that organizes people’s behavior.
The culture reflects the lessons learned that are
important enough to pass on to the next
generation.
Values, beliefs, and practices that have been
developed and reinforced over time.
Culture is “the way we do things around here.”
