Our Culture | Live the OCTO Way

Commitments

Instill an obligation to engage across OCTO

• Each of us have the obligation to engage. We work as a team and we never say “that’s not my job”
• We are always ready. We are committed to delivering for our partners – we see their success as our success

Foster a culture of performance and accountability 

• We take a data-backed approach in measuring our performance. We use these measurements to improve way we work, prioritize our resources and communicate our impact
• We are Agile. We solicit and act on feedback in real-time—that includes feedback from our colleagues, our partners, district residents and other stakeholders

Attract, cultivate and retain top civic innovators

• We embrace innovation and support our partners in their next big ideas. We accept we may encounter failure and do not penalize those who think bold and take calculated risks
• We adopt a growth mindset with our people and dedicate time and resources to develop our talent
