Finding the best possible solutions and not wasting time on blame. Once a course of action has been decided upon, joint responsibility is taken. Problems are tackled openly and proactively.

Simplicity

Focus on the key issues (the "80s") at every opportunity, challenge, question and problem. Complexity and bureaucracy are tackled proactively. Focus on the "80s" and minimisation of the "20s". We also act according to this principle ("80/20 Front-to-Back Process").
