It’s natural to think of business transactions as ‘In order for me to win, someone has to lose.’ It’s also commonly believed that every business decision should be made with the goal of maximizing profits. We don’t accept those statements. Instead, we believe the Talos community is made up of five equally important stakeholder groups, each that should be fully considered and valued as decisions are made:

As our team makes decisions, we will use a ‘Lens’ that considers the impact, both short-term and long-term, to each of our stakeholders. We will strive to find solutions that allow every group to win, especially in the long-term, and try to avoid ‘I win / you lose’ results. We will do so because we believe that ‘Showing How Business Can Improve Lives’ can only be fully realized when everyone who contributes to the success of our business gets to share in its success.
