A company culture
shaped by doers.

 
THE PILLARS OF DO RIGHT


Do right has been the backbone of everything we do since Shape was founded. It is something we have become quietly known for — the “last ten percent,” as it has been coined. It is how we approach the people we work with and what happens near the end of a project scope, when we go back to the whiteboard once more to see if we can do even better. It is what keeps us going when the sun is setting and we are staring at our screens, still not fully satisfied with the work. It is after we have gone the extra mile. We do so by applying our set of core values that have been honed over the years since we started.

 

  • RAISE THE BAR.

    We love a high bar, so we keep setting them. Our heritage of craft and learning by doing gives us the real world strategic insight to transform industries. For us talk is cheap, actually doing wins every day of the week. Whether the work involved goes unseen or is shouted from the rooftops, we are devoted to our craft and give everything we have got. We will not be happy until we have built a product that stands head and shoulders above the rest in any industry we enter.
