Finding your path to growth
Our Values
Lasting value for our clients and their customers
More value for our clients directly translates to higher success for ikaros.
We strive to work on the most important growth topics that truly move the needle. We prioritise our work ruthlessly and focus on big-ticket items. We're willing to have difficult conversations with our clients to educate them on what matters most.
We take pride in the quality of our work and the outcomes we generate, and we go to great lengths to communicate the value we create.
Strong convictions, loosely held
.png){kind=icon}
We clearly express our opinions, and we don’t sit on the fence if we know the answer. We’re data-driven, and we’re always prepared to revise our stance in the face of new evidence.
We’re experts in our fields, and we don’t weaken our expertise by using uncertain language such as "maybe", "could" or “might”.
Ownership mindset
We all understand and take ownership of the commercial impact of our work — for our clients and for ourselves. There is no such thing as “not my job”. If we identify tasks or responsibilities that are abandoned we make sure they get picked up by the right person.
Ownership and accountability go hand-in-hand. We take full responsibility for everything we own, whether it’s done by ourselves or our team members. We celebrate our successes, and we never hide our mistakes and failures so that everyone can learn from them.
Getting things done
We value velocity and momentum, and always aim to move quickly. It is a core value-add we bring to our clients.
We make decisions and course correct along the way, rather than agonising over every detail and trying to get it right upfront. While we love data, we avoid analysis-paralysis at all costs.
We’re firm on achieving our vision and objectives, but we remain flexible and agile on the paths to get us there.
