Values-Driven and Customer Centric Decisions in Tech Rollouts

Red Flags and Compass Points

Every decision tells a story.Not just the big ones—like who gets hired or which feature ships next. The small ones too.How a refund is handled. How fast a ticket gets closed. Who’s promoted, and why.There’s a difference between a value and a vibe.One gets printed on a poster. The other gets used like a compass. Quietly, consistently, without applause.

The teams that win aren’t louder. They’re clearer.They don’t ask, “What’s easier?” They ask, “What aligns? Customer Centricity doesn’t mean putting customers first.It means redesigning a system when the current one makes them second.

Thinking from First Principles doesn’t mean being smart.It means tearing down what’s convenient to build what’s true.

Real values don’t sit in onboarding docs.They get called on in moments of tension. When the clock is ticking. When the stakes are high. When no one is watching.

And if a company’s values only show up in the slide deck, they’re not values. They’re decorations.The culture isn’t what’s said. It’s what’s chosen.
