To meet these aspirations, we must be willing to lead, to
create and to innovate, rather than being satisfied to follow
and to imitate. Our standards for our investments must be
as high as our standards for measuring ourselves.
Teamwork and Consensus Decision-Making
A private equity partnership, like an entrepreneurial company,
can only succeed on the strength of a balanced, integrated
management team. Therefore, we make consensus investment decisions;
every investment must be endorsed by the entireBoardwalktec
team. We also take a team approach to portfolio company development,
which encourages dialogue, brings different skill sets to
bear and builds our shared experience.
Straight Talk
We pride ourselves on direct, clear communication both inside
and outside the firm. In an industry where spin occasionallyovershadows
substance, Boardwalktec has a reputation for "just the
facts" objectivity. What we lose in the short run due
toour lack of promotional flair, we make up for in the long
run through enhanced credibility. Decades of experience teaches
us that the integrity underpinning this process works and
saves time.
Value
We run lean, work hard, and work smart to keep our costs down
and our prices competitive. We aspire to maximize quality
and speed while minimizing cost and overheads.
Rewarding results
We measure and reward performance for every employee in every
role. We base bonuses on profitability, client satisfaction,
deliverables accuracy and sales growth. We celebrate our milestones
and achievements.
Commitment to our Community
We believe that best-in-class corporations have a responsibility
to their community. Therefore, every year Boardwalktec accepts
"pro bono" survey projects to assist charitable
organizations in need of survey services. By lending our experience,
expertise, and technological infrastructure to these organizations
free of charge, we help them gather mission-critical feedback
while reserving their operating funds for direct support of
their cause.
