• Respect expertise - Listen and learn, always. Ability trumps hierarchy. Share smarts and contribute.
• Prove it - Science and business do not progress on assumptions. The problems we are solving deserve robust justification.
• Collaborate - Our skills mix is our superpower. Democratise knowledge, multiply capacity.
