Why do you get out of bed in the morning?
Is it just to show up and collect your check? We sure hope not. That’s not what motivates us. We all need money but relegating your relationship with work to a mere financial transaction is an incredible disservice to both you and the company. It needs to be more than that. What motivates you—your why—should be aligned with Agio’s Why.
Agio’s Why is “to be Better than Yesterday.”
You’re here because we believe you get out of bed and use every new day as a chance to improve—to be better than yesterday. Not just by your standards but by others’ standards as well. Are you open to feedback? Do you appreciate constructive criticism because you know it comes from a genuine place intended to help you grow? We need those answers to be “yes,” because that’s the only way we can achieve The Agio Vision.
As culture is always evolving, it only makes sense for us to do so too. Together, we want to evolve a bit each day to ensure we deliver The Agio Promise: to be better than yesterday.
Here’s the thing: “Our best competitors reveal our weaknesses. The goal is not to ‘beat’ our competition but to improve ourselves.”—Simon Sinek
The goal becomes to better ourselves day by day. We tell clients, “You haven’t met the perfect company. We don’t believe the perfect company exists. We will make mistakes, but you have met a company that’s deliberately focused and determined to improve daily.” When we stop and ask the question, “Why are we doing this?” the answer is, “Because we believe we can be better than yesterday.” For more about the “Why” concept, watch Simon Sinek’s TED Talk “How great leaders inspire action.”
At Agio, we aim to expand the potential of our clients by empowering them with reliable, secure, and resilient information systems that make it easier to work. We are striving to make the promise of reliable, resilient, and secure information systems a reality.
When clients know their information systems are reliable and secure, they gain confidence that translates into the ability to expand and grow their business with Agio as a partner. More importantly we build trust. We don’t just tell them we’re going to prevent harm by ill-intentioned attackers or benign but impactful human error. We regularly show them. Each time our relationship gets stronger, and the level of trust grows deeper.
This focus on providing secure and reliable service results in information systems that are highly resilient in the face of individual mistakes, technology changes and innovations, devastating cyber attacks, business continuity events, etc. Resiliency is adapting and adjusting to minimize the impact of these events. When our clients feel overwhelmed by unavoidable events, our job is to reassure them it’s going to be okay, and then actually make it so. We give them the gift of resilience with our exceptional skill and determination at tackling challenges head on, even when those challenges seem daunting.
Ask yourself: “How can my team and I contribute to the effort to make Agio’s clients more secure and more reliable?”
