DO GREAT THINGS
We are passionate about empowering our people to achieve their goals. But, it’s not all about work. We encourage everyone to seek out new challenges, enhance their lives and do great things. At work. At home. And in the community.
“If we all did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.”
– Thomas Edison, inventor and businessman
BE TRANSPARENT
We believe transparency builds confidence and trust among peers and clients. And when challenges arise, we address them head on — openly and honestly.
“Face reality as it is, not as it was, or as you wish it to be.”
– Jack Welch, business leader
BUILD GOOD SHIPS
We take pride in getting it right. Good enough is never part of our vocabulary. We never cut corners or compromise standards. Because, at Urban Science, the highest level of quality is our only level of quality.
“We shall build good ships here; at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always good ships.”
– Collis Potter Huntington, shipping magnate and businessman
WORK AS ONE
Broad perspectives breed better outcomes. We respect and leverage our unique differences – across all disciplines and geographies – to produce success through collaboration.
“No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson, author
NEVER SETTLE
We are 100% committed to continuous improvement. No matter how good we are, we know we can always make it better. Whether focused on our professional development, our solutions, or our clients, we always strive for the next level.
“We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are.”
– Max DePree, businessman and author
LIVE THE CAN-DO ATTITUDE
This is the spark that started our company and what drives us today. When others say things cannot be done, we stay true to our belief that there is in fact a way. By working together, we find a way to get it done.
“It doesn’t matter whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re going to be right.”
– Henry Ford, industrialist
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING
To achieve our goals, we focus on the outcome we desire. Then, we develop a plan to get there. This roadmap allows us to define meaningful, measurable goals and evaluate how we are doing along the journey. This shapes how we manage our clients and our careers.
“If you don’t know where you’re going, then any road will take you there.”
– Lewis Carroll, writer, mathematician and logician
WALK IN YOUR CLIENTS’ SHOES
We all have clients. Some are internal and some are external. To become a trusted partner, we must know what our clients need. We listen first and strive to understand all aspects of their business and what it takes for them to succeed. We earn our clients’ respect and loyalty.
“If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew.”
– Pocahontas
INVENT THE FUTURE
Our company was born from innovation and creativity. And we believe good ideas can come from anyone, anywhere. If the answer isn’t obvious, we invent a way to get it done. We have the entrepreneurial spirit in our veins, which empowers us to own our destiny — as a company and as individuals.
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
– Alan Kay, computer scientist
HONOR THE PROMISE
At Urban Science, we don’t ask for trust, we earn it. That’s our promise to our fellow Urban Scientists and our clients. A promise reflecting the high level of respect we have for each other. And, a commitment that we conduct ourselves with the utmost integrity every step of the way.
“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
