ABOUT US
Our MISSION is to establish a lasting foundation for employee success for our clients using three pillars: designing and implementing sound strategies; attracting, developing and retaining talented people; creating a workplace environment that encourages employee success.
​
In support of our Mission, we commit to the following:
-
A corporate culture based on core VALUES of integrity, credibility, reliability, candour and customer orientation.
-
Sustained profitable growth based on strategic VALUES of simplicity, pragmatism, alignment and creativity.
​
Our VISION is to build a collaborative network of talented business experts for the purpose of boosting the organizational value of our clients.
OUR TEAM
Our ValueInfusion team are former corporate executives with a diverse set of skills who wish to lend their expertise to organizations looking to supplement their own resources with seasoned advisors.
While we have worked in numerous industries, we certainly don't have the depth of knowledge in every industry. That's why we work with the business leaders. They provide the technical expertise; we provide perspective, infrastructure and best practices for achieving sustainable business growth.
