Values
The Aikona community of our staff, clients, associates, and partners all strive to achieve a common goal-driving project performance.
We work as a team to deliver the results and realise the joint benefits of working together to collaborate and share innovation.
Aikona is driven by the following core values in all our team members
Strategic Thinking
We consider the wider and longer-term implications and how external forces are relevant in decision making. We understand how the organisation works and the links between different functions and activities.
Commercial Awareness
We understand the commercial nature of the organisation, the current and future priorities and the wider context in which it has to operate, enabling us to actively drive or support commercial strategies.
Judgment
We display a balanced and open-minded approach, weighing up different views and considerations to arrive at timely and pragmatic decisions. We are able to work through complex issues, handle ambiguity and resolve conflicts and dilemmas.
Results Oriented
We set high standards for ourselves and others, plan, and organise resources to ensure targets are met within the agreed cost and timescales. We are clear on the desired outcomes and how to measure success and put checks in place to ensure progress is achieved.
Innovation
We are open-minded, promote and accept new ideas and approaches, and will try out new methods or processes. We challenge existing thinking and generate new ideas themselves. We are creative, imaginative and happy to play with ideas.
Integrity
Individuals display energy, commitment, and a desire to get things moving and overcome obstacles. We are prepared to adapt our view and habits when necessary to be successful and to act with integrity, taking personal responsibility for making things happen.
Leadership
We have a clear vision of what we are trying to achieve, translate this into achievable goals and motivate others to achieve them. We create the conditions for others to be successful and regularly review performance to drive improvement and areas of development.
Teamworking
We recognise the benefit of working with others to achieve common goals and are prepared to take on whatever role is necessary to contribute to the effectiveness of the team.
Building Relationships
We build rapport easily through active listening and questioning and are able to appreciate the needs of others in order to phrase our communication accordingly.
