WHAT DEFINES US:

OUR CORE VALUES

As a part of The Blank Family of Businesses, we leverage and connect all of our assets to drive deep, meaningful impact that aligns with our enduring commitment to a values-based approach to philanthropy and business and is grounded in people and place.

In living our values, we believe we can change the world one person, one family, one community at a time.

The six Core Values that drive The Blank Family of Businesses are: Put People First, Listen and Respond, Include Everyone, Innovate Continuously, Lead by Example and Give Back to Others.

“Ultimately, our ability to create value–for our businesses, our customers, our associates and the communities we serve–depends on our values.

More important than our financial success is the way we achieve it: by embracing and living our values, and by using them to drive decision-making in all of our businesses.”

-Arthur M. Blank

PUT PEOPLE FIRST

Demonstrate understanding that people are the center, the heartbeat of a successful enterprise. Build rapport and trust by demonstrating sensitivity and respect for others. Empower and listen to associates because they are our number-one source for information and ideas. Invest time and resources in developing associates’ skills and assisting them in managing their careers.

LISTEN + RESPOND

Listen to internal and external customers (fans, grantees, players, associates, vendors, partners, and community) to understand what they need. View customer needs as golden opportunities that, when creatively addressed, will enhance our competitive edge and the environment in which we all work and professionally grow. Dedicate the needed resources, time and energy to creating lasting value for all customers.

INCLUDE EVERYONE

Our individual differences make our organization more valuable. Value diverse ideas, experiences, skills, work styles and backgrounds. Harness individual differences to create a competitive advantage and better support our partners. Encourage others to accept and capitalize on diversity.

INNOVATE CONTINUOUSLY

Constantly seek new ways to improve results and move above and beyond what seems possible. Demonstrate non-stop reinvention. Do not let unnecessary bureaucracy kill innovation. Implement high quality, new processes, products, services, or solutions that meet or exceed the needs and expectation of our customers.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Demonstrate an entrepreneurial spirit that supports our culture and vision. Take full advantage of our empowerment philosophy by offering suggestions, making decisions and taking responsibility for actions. Stand up for your convictions and vocalize your opinions.

GIVE BACK TO OTHERS

Recognize that the well-being of business cannot be separated from the well-being of society. Join in our ongoing efforts to give back through time, talents, labor and financial commitment.

“My family fell in love with Montana when we first began coming here more than 20 years ago. When you’re outdoors in this rich physical beauty where the world slows down, you can take a moment to reflect on what’s really important to you personally. ”

-Arthur M. Blank
