Values are the practical habits that enable individuals to live successfully and achieve happiness.
7845 is an organisation committed to its core values. We envisage that these concepts will give you an understanding of how we live these values throughout our organisation.
Values that define our purpose and objectives
In the footsteps of our enlightenment heroes, 7845 pursues happiness. We are an organisation defined by our values. To achieve happiness we believe in the primacy of:
- Success
- Security
- Sustainability
- Prosperity
- Freedom
Concepts that describe us and our conduct
Aspiring to our purpose, 7845 seeks to conduct ourselves at all times:
- Creatively
- In a manner worthy of your trust
- Efficiently
- Rationally
Client Driven
In the long run 7845 can only prosper if its clients prosper.
Our globalised world means that 7845 can only be sustainable if it is a world-class client service organisation.
Our clients are our most important partners
7845 only enters into relationships seeking to create win/win outcomes. 7845 aspires to realise the nobility of the market where buyer and seller voluntarily enter into relationships of mutual benefit. As 7845 is a provider of services through systems, our clients and 7845 can only remain in relationships where both parties benefit.
7845 desires that clients know:
- we want your business
- it is easy doing business with us
- we respect individuals above all else
- our clients are long-term partners and 7845 seeks to treat and be treated accordingly
One of the attributes of partnerships is that both partners must keep their agreements. We keep our agreements and expect the same in return.
There are infinite opportunities where we can become better together, where we can help our clients achieve their goals and where our clients will enable us to make a profit in doing so. Our profits allow us to become better partners.
Quality Oriented
7845 understands process without quality is unsustainable.
In every aspect of our business we want to execute and deliver quality.
There are no short cuts to success and prosperity.
Efficient
Waste destroys competitiveness. 7845 creatively designs efficiency into systems to benefit clients.
Growing both our business and our people
We understand 7845 and its partners must grow or die. Growth creates surplus, surplus funds reinvestment, investment sustains competitiveness, and competitiveness protects us.
Life requires constant focused thought and action towards our purpose. Success toward attaining purpose strengthens our self-esteem and capacity.
Continuous Improvement
7845 recognises that everything can always be done better.
Accepting that change is not only inevitable, but essential to life, 7845 is fundamentally committed to innovation.
7845 managers will constantly search for better methods to solve problems and serve clients.
Decision Making
7845 decision making is intentionally objective, fact-based and logical.
7845 management approach
- Participative
- Team oriented
- Creative
- Trusting
- fact-based
- Rational
- Objective
By intention our management process is designed to be participative and team oriented. 7845 works hard to create consensus. Our people are involved in decision making which helps provide better information, and more informed decisions. We understand choice is the greatest right and responsibility of individuals and groups. Those consciously assuming the right to decide are empowered.
Decision making must be disciplined. 7845 seeks to base our decisions on the facts, using reason. However, there are risks in participative decision making. Group think, and the risk of decisions becoming popularity contests threatens. We intend to enact the best objective decision.
Therefore, it does not matter who you know, or who your friends are; it matters whether you can offer the best objective solution to accomplishing the goal or solving the problem at hand.
7845 management concepts
- Hire excellent people
- Train them well
- Grant them appropriate levels of authority and responsibility
- Expect a high level of achievement
- Reward their performance
The 7845 concept of management is to operate an entrepreneurial organisation offering a high level of personal authority, choice, and responsibility. In order to execute this concept, we must have extremely competent individuals, who hold a set of values consistent with 7845’s values and who have mastery in their field of technical expertise. By having such individuals, we can afford to be more immediately responsive to the needs of our clients.
People who make up 7845 have
- Purpose
- Rationality
- Self-esteem
Consistent with our values, we believe successful individuals at 7845 have a sense of purpose for and in their lives. They profoundly believe they can accomplish something meaningful through their work.
We choose to work with people who are rational and have a high level of personal self-esteem. People with high personal self-esteem tend to get along better with others, because they are at peace with themselves.
7845 Positive Attitude
We are capable of achieving both success and happiness since we build on the known facts of reality and our ability to reason. Realism does not mean pessimism. We fully expect to accomplish our purpose and goals because they are based on and consistent with reality. In understanding this, a positive attitude becomes a primary driver in achieving our purpose.
7845's obligations to its team
We will do our best to:
- compensate all team members fairly, relative to internal equity and market comparable pay and benefits practice
- create a place where the team can learn and grow. 7845 understands that a successful, prosperous and sustainable culture helps individuals to become more productive workers and better people.
- all those who contribute to our success can sustainably share in our prosperity
- train the team so they are competent to do the work asked of them
- evaluate and recognise performance objectively, fairly and consistently based on the individual's contribution to the accomplishment of our purpose and in adherence to our shared values
- treat the team as individuals with dignity and respect
7845’s successful, prosperous and sustainable culture
