What defines us
Boundaryless Accountability
Doing what's needed for a client or a project without being constrained by a "role definition". Be strategic and, at the same time, get our "hands dirty in the trenches" - bringing together everything that Straive has to offer.
Speed & Action-orientation
Be swift on every action and decision. When faced with a problem, come up with 3 potential solutions, select pathway and swiftly execute and continuously learn and iterate as we get more information.
Build With What We Have
Straive might not always have the perfect capability or team for a client opportunity (noone has this in a world that's changing every 6 months !). But we can stitch together the winning solution and convince the client we are the right future-fit partner for them and then deliver on that trust.
"Show" Vs. "Tell"
Our focus is on showcasing working AI solutions to clients (vs ppt pages or wireframes)
Commercial Focus
Innovation with a disciplined focus on how that will translate into value that is sustainable for our clients as well as Straive.
Welcome New Personalities & Thoughts
Be open to new people with different personalities and inputs realizing that this is necessary for Straive's evolution. And in turn, every new person authentically connects with the Straive team, in their own individual way.
