Commitment to clients' success: We work hard to build committed, lasting, strategic relationships that allow us to have clients for life. We are focused on creating a client service experience that is responsive, enriching and valued. Our clients' business results are our paramount priority; we succeed only when they do.

Commitment to each other's success: We strive to create an environment where we recruit, mentor and retain talented employees who reach their full potential. By leveraging the talents of each individual and encouraging everyone to excel in high-performance teams, we create a highly motivated organization that can achieve breakthrough results. Our collective experience and success allows us to make monumental advances and achieve far more important goals than what can be achieved through individual performance alone.

Leaders who serve: Achieving our vision and aggressive goals depends on the strength and depth of our leadership. We are accountable and hold others accountable. We lead by example and encourage employees to demonstrate leadership in conducting their duties. Leadership is an opportunity to serve the team by casting compelling vision, managing for extreme results and mentoring individuals to achieve their full potential.

Teamwork and collaboration: We believe that teams power breakthrough results. When we work together, we win together, ensuring that the goals of the business are the focal point of our energies. We foster and reward open communication, teamwork and personal development.

Integrity in our actions: We set high standards and follow through on what we say we are going to do. We act with fairness and honesty. We are proud of what we do and how we interact with our clients, business partners and colleagues. We are consummate professionals, transparent in our actions, straightforward and dependable. Each of us demonstrates ethical leadership-not only doing the right thing but also using company resources and trusted colleagues to validate our decisions while encouraging others to do the same.

Speed with purpose: We act with a sense of speed and purpose in all that we do. We must constantly increase our business velocity to stay ahead of our clients' needs and to be out in front of the market with our solutions. We make decisions, correct mistakes quickly and embrace innovation, while insisting on results that bring real business value.

Stewardship: We strive to leave the company a better place than where we started and carefully analyze every decision we make. We recognize that true stewardship grows from the investments we make in training and development and through the creation of opportunities for our people. In the end, we must act as the owners and protectors of future generations.

One firm: We work together as one company to achieve our common vision and shared success. We have open collaboration, guided by a common strategy. We make selective choice of services and markets, so as to win through significant investments in focused areas rather than many small initiatives
