Our Values

We shaped our values together, and we’re pretty proud of what they have to say. Forget lip service and box-ticking, these words keep us tight-knit, on track and true to what we believe in. They help us stick to the plan – owning our growth, respecting each other and making smashing choices for the future.

We work together to create an environment that supports and nurtures every Oaklander and our clients to grow in a way that best suits them whilst creating a sense of belonging.

Love at Oakland means being a kind, honest, trusted partner. If there are difficult conversations to have, we tackle these with compassion and empathy.

We are passionate about what we do. We care for our clients and colleagues. We are proud of Oaklands contributions to the world.

We ask lots of questions, seek answers from different viewpoints, and encourage wide-reaching participation. We challenge ourselves to think of alternative solutions and are courageous when trying new things.

We strive to learn as much about our clients as we possibly can. We are interested in their processes, technology and people challenges because creating value for them is the Oakland way.

We try to do the right thing 100% of the time by being honest and transparent. Our ethics are incredibly important to us, so we do the right thing (even when no one is watching) and challenge others to do the same, even when it’s hard.

We are objective, unbiased, and honest. We have high standards and hold ourselves and others to account to ensure our values become part of our daily lives and aren’t just a marketing gimmick.

Our clients and colleagues trust that we are all experts in our field. We use our experience to build capabilities with our balanced approach, always putting people at the heart of everything data.

Our confidence comes from being comfortable with what we know and don’t know – so we’re not afraid to ask for help.

We deliver on our promises to our clients. We consistently grow and improve both their business and ours. We are the best version of ourselves through a growth mindset and self discipline.

Drive underpins everything we do; we are driven to deliver value first and fast by working as a team, keeping standards high, and going above and beyond for our clients.

We strive to be the best version of ourselves through the combination of a growth mindset and the determination to always do our best even if we’re having a bad day.
