Intentional Culture
Precise has developed an “intentional culture” practice wherein employees participate in an ongoing discussion about what kind of culture they want to experience when they come to work and how they can take responsibility for closing gaps between the idealized culture they imagine and the actual culture they experience each day. We describe the company culture as “intentional” because we actively weave intentionality into every aspect of our work so it will drive and inform a healthy, productive work environment.
The Precise Leadership Team is intentional about setting the tone from the top, playing an active role in supporting the company culture and leading by example to promote an open and supportive work environment. Precise managers engage employees in monthly check-ins that focus on the employee and include questions about how happy they are, what is going well, and where they are experiencing challenges. The company also invites all employees to a monthly Culture Framework discussion series that offers an open forum for discussion about a variety of topics that inform the company culture including how to build trust, how to work through conflict, and how to promote stewardship and accountability.
Building on the foundation of our intentional culture, we have defined our company’s mission, vision, and core values. We are committed to continually assessing and evolving our culture framework through continued discussions and activities that ensure that all team members feel a sense of inclusion in, ownership of, and responsibility for the health, welfare, and success of company.
Our Mission
We bring performance excellence, agility, and innovation to help advance our customers’ mission.
Our Vision
To be a model of innovation and impact with the happiest employees, the most satisfied customers, and a community that is better off for our presence.
Core Values
Create possibility
We dream big, act boldly, take risks, embrace our mistakes, and engage in continuous learning. We make a list of our dreams and work to make them reality. If we aren’t making mistakes, we aren’t pushing ourselves far enough, and if we are truly learning from our mistakes, we aren’t repeating them.
Innovate from the inside out
We drive internal innovative efforts to create external opportunity and impact.
Have fun
We take our work very seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Looking for ways to have fun doesn’t detract from our seriousness about delivering service excellence. It makes us stronger and more resilient.
Promote radical candor
Don’t tell us what you think we want to hear. Tell us what we need to know. We don’t let conflict aversion prevent us from offering direct and honest feedback. By persistently striving to remove our blind spots, we are quick to identify risks and solve problems.
Avoid surprises
We promote timely, direct, and honest multi-directional communication. We understand that bad news doesn’t get better with time, and we promote a company-wide ethic based on continually asking ourselves the question, “Who needs to know?” We align expectations with continual communication, clarification, proactive feedback loops, and lessons learned.
Practice generosity
We practice generosity in our business practices, in our communications, in our caring for our customers and employees, and in our support of the community. We recognize that everyone needs help, we are willing to offer help, and we’re not afraid to ask for help.
Take ownership and be accountable
We hold ourselves and the team accountable for our commitments. To be part of the Precise team, we must have “GWC” -- Get it, Want it, and have the Capacity to do it. It’s not enough to show up and participate; we all must take responsibility for and ownership of all company processes.
Be a contribution
We encourage team members to contribute to the greater good of the company by promoting a notion of recognition that states, “Now that you’ve done it…,”as opposed to asking, “What do I get if I do it?”. We don’t get our egos caught up in being right or knowing more than anyone else. Our focus is on taking initiative and doggedly identifying issues and developing solutions. Don’t be right. Get it right.
Keep it simple
Simplicity is key to agility. Don’t accept complexity just because that’s how it’s been done in the past. Ask why. And yet, simplicity doesn’t mean cutting corners. Don’t overthink and overengineer.
Precise Way
“What you do is not as important as how you do it.”
- Tony Dungy
The Precise Way is a philosophy that not only focuses on executing outstanding work, but also cares deeply about how that work gets done – from the smallest tasks to the largest projects.
The Precise Way utilizes a proprietary model for delivering superior services in a repeatable manner, which includes a set of 38 timeless principles and practices mappings to industry standards. This model is based on the Project Management Institute PMBOK® standards and supports our Project Managers and their staff in managing their projects and aligning to our CMMI Dev Level 3-appraised processes, as well as our own internal project support processes. Our proprietary Project Manager Playbook also helps our Project Managers incorporate an Agile or hybrid Agile development methodology, allowing them to effectively assess the needs of each customer and developing efficient, cost-effective, and timely solutions to address those needs. The Precise Way serves as a guide for our employees, managers, and executives to consistently deliver the highest caliber performance. It also provides a platform to adopt emerging and innovative technologies to reduce cost and achieve efficiencies in business processes.
Utilizing uniquely stringent requirements developed by our human resources staff, we hire only the most talented and qualified people, continuously stress and assess performance and communications principles, and promptly reward results. On each project, we implement a standard toolset and rigorously follow our CMMI Dev Level 3 processes to consistently deliver excellence across the board. Our proven approach and fine-tuned processes, combined with strong communication, ensures high quality, timely, and cost-effective deliverables.
What sets the Precise Way apart from other business models is our strict adherence to the highest standards, which is not only evident in Precise’s Play, but also ingrained in every facet of our intentional Precise culture, and especially in our most valued assets – our people.
