Integrity
Integrity is an expression of courage and accountability.  It means distinguishing right from wrong and always doing the right thing… We represent our capabilities honestly.  We observe appropriate confidentiality of client information. We do not misrepresent our purposes in seeking information.  We only make promises we can keep.  We take the time to consider our actions and ask whether we can defend them openly today and tomorrow.

​
Respect for the Individual
We respect the capacity and desire for personal growth, as well as the talents and beliefs of clients, partners, colleagues, alumni, recruits, and all other people we meet during the course of our work. Regardless of position, we treat people with consideration.  We value ideas on their merit, not the tenure or status of their source. 

We recognize that respect requires both truthfulness and empathy. We deal with one another in an open and honest way.  We encourage constructive criticism. We reward performance and contribution consistent with our values.  We utilize transparent decision-making processes.  We lead by example. 

We recognize that ours is a demanding profession. We accept the responsibility as a group and as individuals to prevent situations that jeopardize our health or our families.


Embrace Diversity
We strive for a diverse workplace.  It is fundamental to our success that we accept, value, and incorporate the contributions of people from all backgrounds.  Diverse thought, expertise, experience, and background are crucial to creating an environment that breeds creativity, new perspectives, and ideas.  We are committed to making Martin Sloane International LLC a company in which all individuals have an opportunity to flourish and succeed, regardless of their background, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.


Client First Attitude
We measure our success by our clients’ success. We make all of our resources available to our clients and commit ourselves wholeheartedly to their success.  We seek to identify our clients’ real needs, not just deliver good work.  In trade-offs between MSI’s and a client’s interest, the client comes first.


Take A Strategic Perspective
We seek competitive advantage for our clients.  Our approach is to consider the business as a whole, the competitive system, and its dynamics. We identify market positions and capabilities that enable clients to deliver superior results in a sustainable manner.  Objectivity is crucial.  Valid data, rigorous analysis, external perspectives, root causes, and explicit logic serve as our foundations for objective decision making. 


Value-First Delivery
We are committed to creating value for our clients that returns many multiples of their investment. We deliver tangible and positive change, not simply presentations or ideas.   We set our standard for value creation extremely high.  At MSI, value creation requires that our work delivers insight and change the mindset to further the success of our clients.  Our work must lead directly to our client’s betterment – i.e., improved agility, sustainability, and increased value.  We must enhance client capabilities and deliver both competitive advantage and bottom-line impact. We hold ourselves accountable to our value-delivered standards by engaging candidly with clients about the level of value created by our joint efforts.


Trusted Partnership
A partnership perspective guides our relationships internally and with affiliate partners and clients.  We take a long-term view in our relationships.  We strive to build bonds founded on respect, caring, honesty, mutual support, and investment.  We work together in a manner that is team-oriented, constructive, and challenging.  Internally, we believe that a collegial environment fosters continuous learning.  We know that teamwork and cooperation are essential to our success both as a firm and as individuals.  We aspire to build a lifelong bond with those who have joined us. 

Partnership is the foundation of our client approach. We respect our clients and fully appreciate the challenges they face. We work at all levels of the organization to drive lasting change.  We feel privileged to share in their achievements.  We appreciate our clients’ knowledge and experience.  We want to strengthen our clients’ capabilities and seek to be a catalyst for change.
​

Expanding the Art of the Possible
We start with the perspective that the goal is not simply to apply best practice but to invent it.  Each client is unique, and there is seldom only one solution.  We believe that breakthrough ideas often result from the work of teams seeking to creatively solve real client challenges.  We seek to extend the art and science of management, technology and intelligence everyday on every assignment.


Social Impact
We seek to have a positive and lasting impact beyond our business. We believe we can make the world a better place by enabling those less fortunate.   We seek progressive policies.   We value and support the willingness of our associates to donate a portion of their time and resources to their community, global issues, and institutions.
