OUR VALUES

We provide outstanding service to our clients, a tailor-made service with highest standards thanks to our professional approach based upon integrity and build enduring relationships with our clients with absolute independence and confidence.

INTEGRITY

Consistency

Be fair and objective. Listen to both sides and different opinions, without making choices based on prejudice or favouritism.

Thoroughness

Complete tasks in a comprehensive manner. Being deeply involved in project planning activities requires evaluating project needs and filling in the gaps.

Focus on the End Business Results

No matter when project members are introduced, each member is asked to verify within their own scope and role the initial business requirements and the task requested of each member

This allows them to provide their own input based on their subject matter expertise and strengthens the chances for project success.

TRUST

Trust is at the heart of business and relationships. Lack of trust produces the need for constant monitoring of performance, for complex and detailed contracts, and for constant meeting with people. By contrast, where trust exists, a brief conversation and a real or virtual handshake is all it takes to manage most tasks.

"Trust is Transparency:

Tell the truth in ways people can verify and validate for themselves.
Reliability: Sticking to commitments; doing what you say you will do;

Confidence: Extend trust to your team and they will trust you in return".

(adapted from Stephen Covey, PhD,

author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People)

INDEPENDENCE

WORLD SOLID ADVISERS was established in response to the growing need for independent players in the various fields of corporate business and financial expertise.

Because WSA is an independent firm, our work is not subject to regulation, we rather not involve too many clients in a single transaction and we stringently avoid any conflict of interest.

Maintaining this independence guarantees the quality of our work and our results.

EXPERTISE

Our teams are organized according to areas of expertise, but are also highly flexible and adapt situations.

Team work means sharing knowledge and expertise and learning form others so that we get better at what we do.

As a result, our teams develop a broader-than-usual view of issues, and are encouraged to seek out innovative solutions for our clients.
