What we are about
Design Impact is about elephants. We believe in empowering people, supporting families, and in turn, building communities. We seek to do this with our team and through our products and community initiatives.
We are made up of diverse and talented people that create answers and solutions for today and in the future, for people globally.
We want our people to succeed. ‘Our people’ are larger than ourselves as it also encapsulates our teams and customers’ families and communities.
At Design Impact, we use the phrase ‘becoming’ to summarise our current journey and action required. Every day is a new day that we are aiming for excellence and building towards our futures.
What do our Foundational Values look like
At Design Impact, we are aiming daily to empower people.
The growth of people relies on a healthy culture. We want everything we do, say or present to showcase our values. The values we are embracing, here at Design Impact, are Embracing Excellence, Valuing People, Building Atmosphere, Creative Thinking, and Intentional Generosity. Actively embracing these values helps in building a strong and healthy culture. This changes and equips us.
We are learning that not just thoughts or words, but actions bring things like joy, cheerfulness, warmth and love to our work spaces. We know that as a team, our positive thinking and speaking frees the best in people and influences us, our teams, our families and communities.
EMBRACING EXCELLENCE – We want to do our best, approach decisions ethically, show integrity, be accountable to our team or customers, be authentic, genuine and passionate about what we do.
BUILDING ATMOSPHERE – Building requires action. We are building an atmosphere of gratitude, fun, fun, and more fun. We are encouraging and relational and embrace life. Can do is what we embrace with kindness, positivity and by being supportive.
CREATIVE THINKING – Think smart, use your initiative. Simplicity and innovation are our friends. Both attention to detail and seeing the bigger picture are important to us. Being mindful.
INTENTIONAL GENEROSITY – According to the dictionary generosity is a quality of being kind and generous. Generosity is not just about giving money, but also giving in time and kind actions. It is about being intentional with hospitality, showing kindness, being financially generous and loving to encourage.
VALUING PEOPLE – Do the right thing, serve people well, show appreciation and be inclusive. Always empower and equip. Loyalty is important. Valuing people even with a difference of opinion. Empathy connects. Open communication and vulnerability allows for trust to be built. Show social responsibility.
People rise to their highest when you encourage their strengths and respect them. Honouring people is to believe in them, and choosing to see the gold rather than the dirt. Our positivity frees the best in people.
We all influence and change culture. We want to live a culture that empowers people.
