The General Giant tenets that we use as
guides for decision making can be summed up in a few short points:

|
1
|
Pursue success but not
at the expense of life!
Happy people do better work.
|

|
2
|
If you can not do the
job, be honest and say so.
|

|
3
|
If a
client is a nasty and uncooperative do not do the task even
if it is profitable and possible.
We do good work and we desire to actually solve problems.
We will not be brought in to be anyone's whipping boy or a
scapegoat. If you hire us, we expect to be part of the team
looking for a common goal that is good for you and your bottom
line.
|

|
4
|
Focus on Project Management,
Systems Integration, and Oracle technology.
We will ensure our members are capable before assigning them
to a task.
|

|
5
|
Get
issues into the open quickly with no political correctness.
Ours is a group of like-minded people. Essentially we like
each other enough to tell it like it is, fight, resolve,
and have a beer later!

How Our Philosophy Adds Value
Our primary motivation is overall and long term
success for our clients and for ourselves. This long term goal de-emphasizes
simple immediate monetary gain and the short term decisions that
tends to entail.
To achieve our goal requires that finish what we
start, do what we say, maintain the respect of our peers and clients,
and have the power to do the right thing without undue political
influence.
If a task takes a single hour to do, we will say
so and charge appropriately. If a task requires large and potentially
unpopular resource commitments, we also will say so even at the
expense of not obtaining a contract. By being honest with our clients
and ourselves we avoid circumstances of mismanaged expectations
and subsequent disappointments.
