Curve Tomorrow

Working with us

Values

• Solve Problems That Improves Lives

  What does this mean? Does this project truly solve the life changing problems? We believe our products will be impactful and financially sustainable into the future. We identify who our solutions are helping, and whether these are the people who need it most. The problems aren’t always solved with technology - what is the best way to solve this problem, with or without technology? Example behaviours & questions We assess a project opportunity around whether it actually improves lives. Are we able to find a solution to this problem? Can we actually help? We assess an opportunity based on the lives it impacts - are we helping the right people?

• Improve Myself, Each Other & Customers

  What does this mean? A culture of constant growth and learning. We support each other in our personal growth. There are no stupid questions and it is ok not to know how to do something. As individuals, we look for opportunities to improve and grow, personally and professionally. We are greater than the sum of our parts and are the strongest when we work together. Example behaviours & questions Correcting a colleagues mistake in a supportive and constructive way. Working on your personal coaching and training plan in between coaching sessions. When we see a knowledge gap in a project with a partner, we educate the partner and are patient with them

• Become Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

  What does this mean? Challenge the norms, whether these be industry norms, personal or societal norms or even Curve norms. Be prepared to be questioned yourself and learn to become comfortable with being challenged. Healthy conflict is important to growth Example behaviours & questions Respectfully challenging someone who is senior to you in the business. When you find yourself in conflict with a colleague, listen to them, hear them out and absorb what they are saying. Don’t take it personally. Learn each other’s conflict styles

• Everyone Leads

  What does this mean? There is no hierarchy and we are each responsible for our roles, our growth and our careers. There are lots of ‘grey areas’ in our work. Learn to operate within these and look for opportunities. You don’t need a title to take initiative. Everyone has a voice and you can approach anyone with an idea or solution. Entrepreneurship and a startup mindset stays at our core. Two things don’t fly… blame or shame Example behaviours & questions You see an opportunity for an improvement within the business, that is outside your role but you raise it anyway. A new team member is feeling a bit lost with something that isn’t your responsibility. You put your hand up for a project or quarterly objective, knowing it’s usually outside your scope of work. You look for a more cost effective way to do something, without losing the ‘start up’ pace of the business.

• Only Create Products That People Love

  What does this mean? Don’t ship it unless you’re proud of it. Maintain the quality of your work, no matter what you are working on. Our products must be user focused at their core - easy to use for users, and effective for our partners Example behaviours & questions User Experience and simplicity are thoroughly tested and reviewed in each project. If we feel a product doesn't have this key ingredient we put in extra effort to make sure it does. Sometimes at the detriment to profit!

• Innovate When You Create

  What does this mean? Don’t accept ‘what we’ve always done’ if you see a better way. How can new technologies and innovations help us impact more lives? Example behaviours & questions Identify better ways of doing things. Many of the PM’s are trained in strategic innovation and apply these techniques to new products. Considering trends and tends in future health and technology.
