Team Spirit – Our team has a natural ability to work together to achieve a common goal. Taking on the role of a good teammate requires courage; it means challenging and giving each other feedback. Its key to our teams succeeding.

Pragmatism – Achieving effective results by utilising resources efficiently and avoiding unnecessary waste of time, energy and money. Emphasising agile practices, employing concise and direct interactions and engaging in first‑hand experiences to challenge beliefs.

Willingness to Improve – Actively identifying areas for improvement rather than tolerating good enough, promptly learning from problems and embracing challenges outside of one’s comfort zone. These are all skills we promote in our team to benefit themselves, fellow Theodoers, Theodo and the wider community.
