Why Work at Corner Alliance?
We believe that Corner Alliance’s sustainability is tied directly to the development of our people. Together, we determined the following corporate values that govern our every day work ethic, both internally and with our clients.
Flexibility
We refrain from rigid rules regarding how the company runs (hours, location, etc.) as well as in how we work with our clients (we don’t run out the door at 4:00 if they need us there later). We recognize that reciprocity is critical to flexibility; sometimes it means we get to work when we want and where we want and other times it means we need to be at a certain place at a certain time to meet client and company needs.
Boldness
We are willing to say and do what some others won’t and we are game to pursue initiatives even if those efforts are outside our comfort zone.
Inner Voice
We are open and honest in our communications. While we practice discretion with what we share, we share the inner dialogue we have going on as much as possible as we know that is often where the truth lies. We don’t leave important things left unsaid.
Innovation and Creativity
We are not your run-of-the-mill consulting firm. We wow our customers with our ability to bring different perspectives and solutions to client engagements. We are always looking for ways to help our clients bring new life to their organizations. We recognize that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result doesn’t work. We commit to bringing innovation and creativity to our clients to help them move beyond the status quo even when these ideas may seem risky.
Stand for Something
We have an opinion and point of view. We listen to our clients and practice being curious as a way to understand their world. We balance our ability to help our clients answer their own questions with our commitment to offer alternatives and share with them our perspective and point of view. We know when to stop pushing back and recognize that even when our clients choose not to incorporate our approach we provided value by standing for something and offering our opinion.
Engagement Excellence
We wow our customers with both excellence in delivery and in how we engage (with them). We make a lasting and unforgettable impression that sustains our clients and their organizations long after the engagement ends.
Transparency
We all (across the company) understand the financial picture of the company and use this data to make informed decisions. Staff are educated and trained to understand how the company’s financial health impacts the company overall as well as each person individually.
Sustainability
We seek to create a company that is both profitable and sustainable.
Eat Our Own Dog Food
We operate the way we advise our clients to; we follow the processes and approaches we follow with our clients, live the values we say are important to us, and ultimately “practice what we preach”.
Build a Structure
We commit to establish and use proven, structured processes for company activities rather than a “make it up as you go along” or “recreating the wheel every time” approach. This allows us to make better use of our time and ultimately increases our capacity to invest in generating new approaches and processes when none exist.
