Principles
Gaiasoft is committed to enriching and enabling the best capabilities for people and the world. We believe that technology can help do this. We hold ourselves accountable to be trustworthy, compassionate and respectful. Gaiasoft operates by these principles.
- Win-win partnerships – we operate as if both parties worked for one organization, appropriately sharing responsibilities and rewards. This creates the optimal business model.
- Motivations – we clarify why a person or company wants to engage in this work helps achieve alignment to goals and assignment to tasks within the business model.
- Collaboration, not competition – we create solutions where neither party ‘loses’ stature, revenue or resources so that both parties achieve more than either would have alone.
- Relationships – we build trust in the relationship through principled work behaviors. For us, every challenge is a shared challenge. We put relationships first, over the work.
- Accountability – we make it clear who is responsible for each aspect of our work and the relationship and we plan and manage processes and practices for ongoing accountability.
- Focus – we start small, building a track-record of high performance through focused delivery of achievable “low-hanging-fruit” tasks that meet shared objectives.
- Create value –we design interim project steps that create value for everyone concerned.
- Think big – we take small steps in the context of a larger vision leveraging existing resources and activities of all parties to deliver large impact from a small investment of resources.
- Solutions not blame – we focus on corrective and preventative actions that produce successful future outcomes, with willingness and flexibility to change the rules if the old rules don’t work.
- 100% <--> 100% - we operate as if each of us is 100% responsible for the relationship and its results.
- Commitment – we assign a relationship owner to each engagement to ensure we work by these principles and build them into procedures, working practices, and every day interactions.
