MapCamp 2020: You can't organize your way to a future, principles matter.

If you have a compass with you, and you know where you’re going along with the rough direction in which that is; you’ll be able to withstand far more types of weather than if you just had a map. Technologies change, Markets change, Maps change but compass bearings are constant.

  6. Values Values are beliefs, attitudes and opinions that people hold

    regarding specific issues. They are standards of behaviour about what is important in life. Values are internal and subjective, and may change over time. Principles Principles are fundamental truths that are permanent, unchanging, and universal in nature. Include: integrity, dignity, honesty, quality, service, fairness, kindness and patience. No matter how the map is changing - natural laws, principles, operate regardless. @FarrahC32
