Our Values
In-caHOOTs :: Be an irreplaceable partner. To partner is an ACTION.
What does “In-caHOOTs” mean in action?
-
If “above and beyond” had a beyond, exist there.
-
If the client doesn’t understand what’s possible or how to use the data we provided, that’s on us. It’s our job to find a better way to help them understand.
-
Honesty, always. Except Stef, she could stand to be less honest at times.
-
All partnerships are better if each person brings a unique set of experiences and strengths. Therefore diversity of all types will be sought and honored.
-
Trust is a feeling. Don’t F with trust.
HOOTenanny :: Have fun, dammit.
What does “HOOTenanny” mean in action?
-
Uptight environments crush creativity. And, if there’s no creativity there is no evolution.
-
If you enjoy doing something, it is fun. We enjoy math, statistics, psychology, data, design and strategy. So, our work is fun and that is okay.
-
Always ask, "What can I do to make this better"? When things grow and expand they tend to be more fun!
-
Fun and lighthearted connection comes from knowing people on a deeper level. Dive deep!
-
Be your authentic self (like the self your therapist knows you to be).
- OLOGY :: keep learning, always.
What does “ology” mean in action?
-
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." - Maya Angelou
-
To teach, is to learn. Each month, a Hootologist shares a new topic with the team, for example, consumer psychology bias in AI development, white fragility, start up strategy and prison reform (just to name a few past topics…).
-
The ways we grow and learn outside of work make us better Hootology team members.
-
Seek to learn new skills and stay up on the latest trends in tech and society.
-
Don’t just fit into your role. Grow your role to fit you.
