Madison/Elevate Culture

Elevate is on a mission to make the world safer, healthier, and more productive by inspiring positive outcomes in healthcare. We are committed to an entrepreneurial culture built on a foundation of trust and a strong bias for action. The team at Elevate is committed to building something truly remarkable that long outlasts us while coaching others to reach their highest potential.

Elevate is part of the Madison Medical platform which has built its reputation by fostering three key attributes: Trust, Bias for Action, Entrepreneurial.

Elevate's Values

Trust - Honesty and transparency are essential to the way we do business. We work with and build management teams we believe in and don't add arrogancy, complacency or bureaucracy to the mix. We also believe in the power of the team and how critical trust is in that relationship. We work as hard for the person on our left and the person on our right as we do for ourselves. Consequently, our teams operate at the highest level of engagement and are inspired by our mission and their leaders.

Trust is:

• Open, honest, and transparent.
• Ethics and integrity are assumed, and anything less is not tolerated.
• We meet all our commitments.
• We are a team, and we can rely on each other.
• We are what we do, and we do what we say Trust isn't:
• An environment in which we have no oversight, approvals or control. Trust is a cultural attribute, not a management method.
• A set of rules and policies. Trust is earned, not legislated.

Bias for Action - Unless you continually work, evolve and innovate, you will learn a quick and painful lesson from someone who has! Consequently, we lean forward and challenge the status quo. And if there is an opportunity for us to make the world safer, healthier or more productive, we move quickly. In fact, we close our acquisitions in less than 30 days, providing minimal disruption to the companies with which we partner.

Bias for Action is:

• Bold and ambitious. We inject speed and velocity into our processes.
• We are not victims of things which we cannot control. We control outcomes through our own actions.
• We act with imperfect information; confident in our ability to adjust as necessary.
• We embrace change and see it as an opportunity to improve. Bias for Action isn't:
• Reckless decision making for the sake of speed.
• Ready, shoot, aim.
• An excuse for making poor decisions.

Entrepreneurial - Madison Industries is an operating company owned by the team that runs it. Madison has over 900 owner leaders in its ecosystem. The company is not publicly traded, so no quarterly earnings reports. It is not private equity, so no artificial 3-5 year timelines, which means you can build your company for the long term. Businesses are run locally by the entrepreneurial teams who have an 'owner's mindset' and are closest to the customer, product and the team best positioned to make decisions. Therefore, we partner and not acquire; consequently, the name stays on the door and the management team remains in place. This incredible ecosystem of companies will remain a part of the Madison family long after we are gone, ensuring that our companies can continue their missions.

Entrepreneurial is:

• We are self-reliant. We are gritty and tenacious.
• We have passion and perseverance for our long-term goals
• We are all salespeople at heart - and in our defined roles. 100% of our team members have the responsibility to be salespeople and to focus on customers.
• We are optimistic and believe we will be successful.
• We are adaptable and not set in our ways. We learn, grow and find ways to reinvent ourselves as circumstances change.
• We are ambitious. We want to great things and have great impact on the world.
• An attitude and approach to thinking that actively seeks out change, rather than waiting to adapt to change. It's a mindset that embraces critical questioning, innovation, service and continuous improvement.
• Creativity and unwillingness to accept that there is not a better way. Constantly questioning. Constantly striving for improvement.
• Healthy paranoia - that leads to continuous innovation, improvement, and the like.
• Anticipatory and proactive - we constantly strive to be ahead of the curve.
• Recognition that we live in an "and" world, not an "or" world - our business requires us to balance multiple priorities with ambiguity and risk. We embrace this paradox and create operating constructs that allow us to make good decisions in that reality.

Entrepreneurial isn't:

• A sense of entitlement.
• A free pass to do whatever you want because you are acting like an "owner".
• An operating construct that has no oversight, no central authority and no hierarchy.
• A product of the kinds of businesses or sizes of companies from which we came.
