Our company culture and values:
Some companies manage by rule, some by hierarchies. IBM manages by its values.
IBM’ers value:
- Dedication to every client's success
- Innovation that matters, for our company and for the world
- Trust and personal responsibility in all relationships
In 2003, IBM undertook the first re-examination of its values in nearly 100 years. Through "Values-Jam," an unprecedented 72-hour discussion on IBM's global intranet, IBM’ers came together to define the essence of the company. The result? A set of core values, defined by IBM’ers for IBM’ers, that shape the way we lead, the way we decide, and the way we act.
Do IBM's values ring true for you? If they are the way you show up in the world, then you'll enjoy the responsibility of being an IBM’er.
