## VALIDERE

### Validere’s collective values.

Validere’s values are shown in our words, actions, and people. They guide difficult decisions, attract great people, differentiate us in the minds of our stakeholders, and make Validere a great place to be from.

### Deliver the highest value

To make an impact on the world, our customers, and our team, find and deliver the highest value.

- Don’t fall in love with your tools. Fall in love with your customers.
- Zoom in on the largest opportunity; Be mindful of the opportunity cost.
- Find the root of complex problems. Dig deeper to solve them.
- Quantify value accurately. Don’t believe your own BS.

---

### Remove friction.

Make things easy for customers, colleagues, and yourself — in that order. Identify friction points and take the necessary steps to eliminate them.

- Measure success on executing insights, not finding them.
- Customers should never have to do a lot of work – make it seamless for them.
- It’s our fault if customers don’t understand our insights.
- Remove any and all constraints. No egos, no silos, nothing off limits.

### Make it more scalable everyday.

You’ve found and delivered the value. You’ve eliminated any barriers that stand in the way. Now, what can you do to scale that value?

- Solve for one, systemize for many: dVi/dN>0.
- Unscalable is OK short term to drive frictionless value, but not in the long term.
- Make yourself scalable: live & work smarter (not just harder).
- Promote wellness & balance. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

### Be fair and transparent.

Fairness and transparency underpin everything we do.

- Always default to fairness & transparency.
- Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
- We make better decisions when all data and ideas are shared.
- Subscribe to idea meritocracy and build support with data, not titles or opinions.
- Embrace our “no door” approach, where everyone has access to everyone.
- Be generous with your time, and invest in the development of others.

### Stay well & safe.

This is a great job, but your wellness is what’s most important. Find balance and do what you need to do so you thrive in life and at work.

- Promote balance and wellbeing. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
- Enjoy the journey and celebrate every win.
- Speak up if you see something that isn’t right.
- Life is short. Be kind & always give the benefit of the doubt.
