EVOLVE INSPIRE EXCEL

Excelling: with your knowledge and the right cooperation, you as an explorer are able to innovate in your professional work. By combining your knowledge with your (travel) experience, you come to great solutions and you know how to work flawlessly with colleagues from LINKIT and, as an IT professional, also with colleagues from the customer (with a different culture), to create the best result. The time that is made available by LINKIT for knowledge sharing and personal development may lead to a fun project that can then be of added value and inspiring for a project at the customer.

Inspire: as an explorer you enjoy sharing your knowledge and inspiring other (possibly future) explorers. For example, by speaking at an event, but this can of course also be done in other ways. With your story you trigger other travelers and motivate them to keep discovering, learning and developing!

Because you are an explorer, we also find it logical that you can do your work at multiple locations. Such as at your customer, our LINKIT (head) office, but also - in consultation with your (customer and) manager or squad lead - from abroad. In this way, as an explorer you are able to combine work and vacation and discover beautiful places in the world (with colleagues). For example, it is possible to give a knowledge session in Cairo together with your colleagues and hang around there for a while, or to combine traveling and working from Bali for a few weeks or to discover Portugal while visiting a knowledge event and work there for a few weeks while enjoying the last rays of sun. It is also possible to visit our international hubs and from there work together with other LINKIT explorers (on site).

1.4 CORE VALUES

Our core values are our compass, and they guide us in making choices. Our core values are imbedded into our culture and are:

Collaborate

Put the team’s best interests first by showing interest in others, supporting others and speaking up.

Drive

Being passionate and motivated to keep getting better while having fun, but also to keep innovating and to deliver better work.

Knowledge

Being curious about new information, absorbing it, sharing it and applying it.

Trust

Taking professional responsibility for work and being highly loyal to colleagues and team.

Reliability

Giving others confidence by delivering high quality, honoring agreements and offering suitable solutions (in the long term).

Collaborate

At LINKIT, we not only find collaboration important, but it is also one of our core values. We are proud to be a knowledge-driven organization. This means that there is an enormous amount of knowledge in-house. That is precisely why we think cooperation is very important. By combining the knowledge, skills and experience within the various teams and disciplines, we ensure a flywheel effect. We reinforce each other. Not only within your own team, but also between the various teams. In addition to allowing our expertise and teams to work together, collaboration is also reflected in how we are organized. Our flat organizational structure requires good cooperation, in which the various business partners optimally support the squads and teams to achieve their goals. This requires proper coordination and communication, so that expectations are clear, we work efficiently and everyone within the organization is informed. In other words: cooperation! Collaboration is also reflected in how we treat each other. Everyone at LINKIT will take the time to help you. Whether it’s an introduction about what someone does within the organization, an opportunity spotted that helped someone else or a question about a deep technical subject. We are ready for each other. People from more than 20+ different nationalities work together at LINKIT. We are proud of this, because we believe that knowledge (sharing) and cooperation know no boundaries. In addition to our head office in De Meern, we currently have two hubs: one in Germany and one in South Africa.

Collaboration is also high on the list of priorities outside LINKIT. We are not an IT Partner for nothing. This means that we always look for cooperation with the customer and relations of the customer. By partner we mean not only working for the customer, but that we work together with the customer and the customer’s employees (think of a product owner, engineers or developers of the customer who are part of a project team). Drive

Within LINKIT we are driven to keep getting better and for that reason we breathe innovation. we strive to be better every single day. To fully facilitate this, we set up the Innovation Lab at the beginning of 2022. What this means in concrete terms is that LINKIT has reserved time and resources to bring all the innovative ideas our explorers have to life. Based on a clear innovation process, we actively search for ideas that will further shape the future of LINKIT. We believe innovation is important to remain relevant as an organization in the rapidly changing IT world and it also enables our explorers to do what they do best: explore! Examples of ideas that have come to life in our Innovation funnel include a planning tool for retail, an IoT blueprint and AI for better alignment between two applications.

We also have a great drive to realize our growth internationally. Since 2019, we have been working on realizing our international ambitions. International growth is one of our strategic pillars and we focus on two areas: growth in low-code business and growth of our knowledge clusters within low-code.

Knowledge

LINKIT is knowledge driven. This means that we invest in knowledge, i.e. our people. After all, it is our people who use their knowledge to help our customers or our internal organization. Our knowledge-driven strategy has three steps:

1 2 3

We focus on a number of expertises: at LINKIT we call these IT expertise teams squads. In addition to the Squads, we naturally also have the Staff Teams and the Business Teams. These Teams are the indispensable link to support the Squads in the right way and bring in great projects. We grow these squads and teams with people who are driven to learn and discover. As mentioned earlier, we call these people LINKIT explorers.

We offer people unlimited opportunities to become the best explorer. Think of an unlimited budget for training, study material and visiting knowledge events. But also extensive development paths and the right guidance from your manager and/or mentor. And what about our club days? Up to 10% of your working time to invest in learning, sharing and connecting with your fellow explorers.

Trust & Relaibility

At LINKIT we don’t like to think in boxes. We offer you the tools you need to do your job well, but at the same time give you the space to color in the lines yourself. You are therefore in the lead of your own growth and can determine your own pace, we are happy to give you this confidence. This also means that your growth does not have to be limited to growth in seniority, but that it is also possible to grow horizontally. for example from Recruitment Business Partner to Account Manager, from Java Developer to CPO, from Customer Service Specialist to Manager Operations or from Trainee to Mendix Developer. We think it is important that you are happy at work and that you continue to talk about it.

There is a lot of room and freedom for initiative within LINKIT and therefore a lot is organized by our explorers. This works well, partly thanks to our flat organizational structure and open culture. If you have ideas to make the organization better, we are always open to this. Or if you have ideas to stimulate collaboration and knowledge sharing, we are always up for that. The basis on which this is based is, as mentioned earlier, trust. We believe that if we give you the confidence as an explorer to take control of your unique journey, we as an organization can continue to deliver high quality and continue to come up with suitable solutions for our customers. In this way we hope to remain reliable for you as an employer and for our customers as an IT partner. The fact that the last group, our customers, see us as a reliable partner is also evident from the long-term relationships we maintain. What about KLM, our first customer and still one of the largest customers. But customers such as Kyndryl and Wigo4it have also been relying on our reliable services for more than a decade.
