Core Values
Core Values Excellence and Curiosity We do the right thing. Regardless of visibility or with whom we are interacting, we take ownership of our behaviours, hold one another accountable, and practice social and ethical responsibility. We strive for the highest standards of integrity, and intellectual and creative excellence. We seek new knowledge and practical impact, in service to the nation and the world. We prize originality, ingenuity, honesty, and boldness. We love discovery and exploration, invention and making. We delight in the full spectrum of human wisdom. Drawing strength from Prime Light distinctive roots, we believe in learning by doing, and we blur the boundaries between disciplines as we seek to solve hard problems. Embracing the unconventional, we welcome quirkiness, nerdiness, creative irreverence, and play. We accept the risk of failing as a rung on the ladder of growth. With fearless curiosity, we question our assumptions, look outward, and learn from others.
Collaboration
We work and learn across constituencies. We nurture our relationships both inside and outside of Prime Light to achieve better ideas and outcomes
Openness and Respect We champion the open sharing of information and ideas. Because learning is nourished by a diversity of views, we cherish free expression, debate, and dialogue in pursuit of truth – and we commit to using these tools with respect for each other and our community. We strive to be transparent and worthy of each other’s trust – and we challenge ourselves to face difficult facts, speak plainly about failings in our systems, and work to overcome them. We take special care not to overlook bad behaviour or disrespect on the grounds of great accomplishment, talent, or power.
Belonging and Community
We strive to make our community a humane and welcoming place where people from a diverse range of backgrounds can grow and thrive – and where we all feel that we belong. We know that attending to our own and each other’s wellbeing in mind, body, and spirit is essential. We believe that decency, kindness, respect, and compassion for each other as human beings are signs of strength. Valuing potential over pedigree, we know that talent and good ideas can come from anywhere – and we value one another’s contributions in every role. Together we possess uncommon strengths, and we shoulder the responsibility to use them with wisdom and care for humanity and the natural world.
Innovation
We resiliently learn through action. We are curious and take initiative to both discover and implement ways to add value.
