From all the buzzwords you can use to describe a culture, we feel the strongest connection to the words in our Culture visual:
The inner ring symbolizes the way we interact with each other, how we work together and how we meet for a good conversation. Sometimes in combination with a barbecue or a good glass of wine.
The ITQ-force is strengthened by other cultural themes: Trust & Freedom, Homebase, ITQuality and of course the ITQ-er.
To start with Trust & Freedom: feeling trusted with, and daring to be open and honest to each other leads to a feeling of freedom which makes our cooperation grow stronger.
This is also true for the theme ITQuality. The Q is in our name, so is the will to be distinctive. We are feeling proud when we receive an award and we want to do better every day, be smarter and more efficient.
Also very important and what puts things even closer together is the Homebase feeling. Whether you are working at the office or with a customer, even when you see each other irregularly, an ITQer feels like an ITQer. And feels supported by other ITQers.
ITQers are professional nerds who bring their own unique set of characteristics & qualities, which leads ITQ to a higher level. It is precisely this diversity which makes us a strong collective.
Now we finalize our story with the outer circle. This symbolizes the way we step out as one to our customers and the community and is linked to We are one, the heart of our organization. This circle connects all together and gives us the force to be just as strong and effective on the inside as on the outside.
We are proud to be part of ITQ and we truly feel a sense of belonging!
