Our values
Every DCSL GuideSmiths employee learns our values from their first day. We operate through these values that are at the centre of our culture of successful outcomes and focus on delivery. Our values are:
-
DDeliver quality in a timely manner
We not only deliver great quality software, but we strive to deliver it in the timescales that align with your expectations. It is as important to us as it is to you that software is delivered properly, on time and on budget.
-
CCollaboration and pragmatism are at our core
We solve complex problems quickly and efficiently by collaborating and sharing knowledge in our 250+ team. We share our successes and reflect & learn lessons as a team. And we do this in a pragmatic way to ensure we deliver quality in a timely fashion.
-
SShip consistently and regularly
The Agile Manifesto states that software teams should “deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.” A key value of DCSL GuideSmiths is to follow Agile principles in every aspect of our working lives.
-
LLive in our customers’ shoes
When a project is delivered successfully, we’ll share that success and take pride in our work. But if there are problems or misunderstandings, we’ll work tirelessly to resolve any issues and see things from your perspective.
-
GGiving our very best with fun and pride
Everybody in the DCSL GuideSmiths team knows that they must always be going the extra mile for our clients, but at the same this is only possible if we enjoy what we are doing. Not only do we have fun whilst making our clients’ dreams come to reality, we are really proud of what we achieve on day to day basis, too.
-
SStay open, honest and transparent
We’ll be honest with you about the project, requirements, costs and timescales. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way, and we work transparently so that you can see what we’re doing without anything being hidden. We’re honest with one another in the company just as we are with our client.
