We deliver as a team of equals
Teams are greater than the sum of their parts
High-performing teams will always out-deliver “superstar” individuals.
No matter what role people play in a team, they all have something to contribute, and they all have a voice in delivery decisions. There is still a role for leadership – but replacing command and control with orientation and support.
This means, in turn, that every EE team member is equally accountable and responsible for the delivery, and must act accordingly.
How we do this:
We are partners with our customers, not order-givers nor order-takers
Our teams include our customers – equality starts with them. We may be experts in delivery, but we have the humility to recognise that they are experts in their own business. However, taking shared responsibility means being brave in gracefully disagreeing with customers; “the client told us to” isn’t a reasonable excuse for doing something which we know is detrimental to their success.
Delivering honest, constructive feedback (with empathy and professionalism) is a foundational part of consultancy.
We value team-based over individual technical ownership
A tech lead role on an EE team is a point of contact for the customer and a facilitator of great technology decision-making. We are all experts in our profession and taking autonomy and responsibility away from the team can destroy cohesion within the group and is a recipe for disaster.
Collective technical ownership mitigates the dependency on any single individual and increases implicit motivation for all; providing purpose by allowing autonomy and using/growing mastery.
We treat each other as grown-ups
‘Grown-ups’ is shorthand for the kind of person – the kind of attitude – we look to work alongside. It summarises the responsible, self-disciplined people who exhibit the depth of experience and the personal behaviours required to create high-performing, ego-free teams.
We believe adult-to-adult communication and transactions lead to the most effective relationships with others.

We have a passion for learning over knowing all the answers
We may have Experts in our name, but we do not pretend to know all the answers. We hire experienced people who value ongoing learning.
We prioritise outcomes over approach
We work in complex and highly dynamic environments where understanding the context is vital. We’re not interested in a cookie-cutter approach.
We seek customer success over our own short-term interests
We thrive by our reputation, so the only way to guarantee our future success is to do what’s right, right now, for our customers.
We narrow our focus but widen our context
We deliver concrete value as early as possible by quickly identifying key opportunities, but framing them within the wider organisational context.
We bring step-by-step change
It can be tempting to look for a WOW factor, but we know that lasting change is best achieved through small practices that build towards larger transformation.
