Core Values

The SEI’s core values are integrity, excellence, and impact.

These core values are the foundation of everything we do at the SEI. They hold us together when the forces of change push and pull us this way and that.

Integrity
Integrity means we are open, honest, and fair. We respect others and keep our commitments. Our communication and actions reflect these values. We have no hidden agendas. We base our decisions on facts as far as we can know them. We hold ourselves accountable for adhering to these principles, and we expect and encourage others to hold us accountable, too.

Excellence
Excellence implies that we strive for excellence in everything that we do. We continually seek ways to improve. We understand that our business and technical environments are dynamic. Hence striving to be excellent includes a willingness to change. We constantly assess ourselves and learn what we need to master a situation, not just react to it. We learn from our mistakes and our successes and use that knowledge to help us improve.

Impact
Our impact is dependent on the measurable success the community has with the products of our work. We celebrate their success and are committed to using our skills to further that success.
