Core Values
The Foundation Of Our Team
Inclusion
We embrace diverse perspectives and experiences. Good ideas come from everywhere, and we all have something we can teach and learn. We strive to actively involve and empower our teammates, ensuring everyone feels valued, respected, and has an equal opportunity to contribute and grow in their profession.
Collaboration
As communicators, we love good wordplay. The “Pier” in Pier Partners is a homophone of “peer.” We are all peers, including teammates and clients. We are here to tackle challenging questions with real impact, together. We deliver excellence by building each other up, teaching each other, sharing ideas, and holding each other accountable.
Dream Big
“Pier” in Pier Partners evokes standing on the edge of a pier, looking toward the horizon, and picturing the future. We dream big with our clients and never settle for “good enough.”
Project Management
We pursue the highest quality in all our endeavors. We set and meet high standards, delivering our clients high-quality products the first time and every time. Embracing excellence means fostering a culture of continuous learning and a relentless pursuit of improvement.
Accountability
We take ownership of our actions and decisions. We honor commitments, meet responsibilities, and deliver on promises. We take ownership of our work, building trust within our team and with clients and ensuring reliability and integrity in all aspects of our business.
Communication
We value clear, concise, compelling communication in all aspects of our work, from developing client products to client communication. We also prioritize asset framing in our mindsets and communication. Coined and popularized by Trabian Shorters, "asset framing" is the principle of defining people by their assets and aspirations. It is an essential humanizing narrative structure and mindset.
