Thinking

We strive to be go-givers. At a corporate job, many are trained in a business development process called "give to get.” The principles of the training are simple: your attitude should first be to "give" to your potential clients and then (and only then) could you expect to "get" new business from them. We totally agree with the principle with one exception - we should "give to give.” GENEROSITY and service are natural outputs of a giving mentality. If we live by the golden rule (do unto others, as you would have them do unto you) and believe in the goodness of humanity to pay it forward, then we do not need to expect anything in return for our giving.

At Chang Industrial, we believe DIVERSITY is not a corporate strategy; it is an attitude. People who have empathy and place value on the views of others find that diversity is an essential part of a contagious corporate culture. We value diversity above conventional performance metrics. The result of a diversity-first attitude is a winning team that accomplishes more. Men should be surrounded by women and women by men. The average skin shade of a winning team should be some shade of tan or brown. This may sound challenging in a heavily STEM career field, however, commitment to diversity separates great teams from good teams.

MENTORSHIP is a cornerstone of who we are as professionals. It is important to be a mentor and a mentee; we all should have professional mentors, but also mentor people of the next generation. Mentorship is interesting because there are many times when the mentor receives as much (or more) from the exchange as the mentee. Mentorship aids in keeping an attitude of humility and an attitude of gratitude. Mentorship reminds us that we did not make it all on our own and encourages us to mentor others to help them realize their dreams. To that end, we are passionate supporters of marketplace ministry through Lifework Leadership and their affiliate chapter in Jacksonville, Lifework First Coast.

Our team members seek to always do the right thing. We treat our customers, partners, suppliers, and third parties fairly and transparently. We honor our commitments. We value INTEGRITY in everything that we do.

We are strongly committed to EXCEPTIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY by working ethically and effectively. We seek a collegial approach to problem solving, and demand mutual respect whenever compromise is required. We honor the resources and mandates our clients entrusted to us and strive always to do our best to honor that trust. We seek to understand and fulfill our individual and team responsibilities, while recognizing and rewarding our collective successes.

We seek to constantly challenge the status quo and utilize best practices.  The combination of the two thought processes leads to INNOVATIVE THINKING and efficiency of effort.  Our method for innovation is taking a fresh view of a problem and using creativity to seek alternatives to the conventional solution.  Innovative thinking allows us to address problems that have never been solved before.
