A Vision of Global Innovation and Local Impact
At the core of WAO is our vision of innovation for impact and our commitment to generate and share prosperity through change and innovation.
We bridge and connect local ecosystems with global innovation and disruptive current and future trends and opportunities by enabling, deploying, supporting and fostering initiatives at a local level.
Execution of Our Own Projects and Fostering Others
We provide spaces, tools, networking, capacity building, framework and conditions for impact initiatives developed by others as well as our own.
A profound commitment to quality, social impact, environmental sustainability and responsible profitability accompanied by ethical, inclusive, open and transparent execution defines all aspects of our vision, plans and actions.
Awesome Work
We are committed to be awesome, to awesome execution and to deliver awesome results. In every little aspect of our actions and interactions, we explore and define:
Its Value
What it adds to our targets (beneficiaries, consumers, partners, existing and future projects, initiatives, etc.).
Its Quality
How well has it been designed and implemented, how good is its execution and how good is it perceived by its target.
Its Role within the Whole
How it fits, improves and enhances our strategy, vision and goals.
Awesome Projects and Components
Every idea, project and component is evaluated and measured by:
Its Impact
How it reflects on the experience or lives of its targets.
Its Viability
What is the likelihood of its successful execution, given the challenges, limitations, uncertainties, requirements and blockages.
Its Profitability
How its costs are covered in the present and future so that it is sustainable and generates resources for improvement, evolving, amplification and scaling.
Its Scalability
How it can grow, be replicated and extended in the future, if successful.
Awesome Core Team
Our core team brings together a group of amazing multidisciplinary professionals with a shared vision and commitment to value generation and impact working together in an open and transparent collaborative culture of effort and information sharing.
Effective Talent and Meritocracy
We seek to maintain an effective talented work group by welcoming people to the team for their potential, and only keeping them by their execution.
Every team member is responsible for its delivery of results and adding value to the whole, in collaboration with others and as part of the group. We are a small team with limited resources. This drives us to be awesome, focused, highly effective and deliver high quality and impact achievements continuously.
Complete transparency, openness, flexibility and direct criticism within a framework of respect and focus on value are key to the team’s efficiency and dynamic ability to quickly adapt and deliver quality results.
Teams that Make Teams Members Better
Good teams are not defined by how good the team members are, but how good they execute and deliver together. Each team member must add value to its team and all team members must be better because of the team where they belong.
