Ethics
We have all agreed to a
set of strict ethical principles that helps guide us through situations that might
otherwise get
sticky.
Confidentiality
We
hold your business secrets sacred. Loose lips sink
ships. We will not divulge private information. It
is wrong, unethical and improper for us to do this. We
will only discuss information about a company that is already
public information. Private information we will keep to
ourselves.
See More on Confidentiality.
Honesty
We have heard consultants (not in
our firm) say, "Well let's give them what they want," in regard
to the information being putting together. I absolutely
cringe when I hear that, it is so disloyal and so dishonest.
If our intention is to be "trusted advisors" then we MUST be
completely honest with you about what we learn, think, discover,
or conclude. We
will be honest with you. No matter if this is painful for
you or not. No matter if this costs us work or not.
Advise to do
"Right", not "Wrong"
We
always advise a company to do the "right" thing, the
moral thing, the legal thing. Occasionally it might seem
that taking a moral short-cut will result in a short-term win.
Even if this is the case we will not recommend doing something
wrong. No matter how
enticing that might seem.
We
work to build businesses.
We work to build businesses, we
don't necessary work to build personal careers. We have
found that generally if we focus on building businesses, we will
indeed build careers, but we work for the good of the business.
When a conflict arises between the needs of the business and the
needs of the client we will side with the needs of the business.
