•Fair and Ethical Business Practices : CLARUS Corporation personnel conduct business affairs in an ethical and professional manner with the intention of giving the highest level of value and satisfaction to our client colleges. Our goal is to exceed your expectations. In fact, we want to have such a strong positive relationship with our colleges that they will be proud and excited about personally calling us a colleague and friend and recommending our services to other colleges. For us, the best reference is a satisfied college.

•Client Relationships : CLARUS Corporation provides services to our clients with integrity, competence and objectivity; we place the college’s best interests above all others in the project.

•Conflict of Interest : CLARUS Corporation endeavors to avoid conflict of interest, or the appearance of such. We disclose to the client any circumstances or possible conflicts which might influence judgment for the project.

•Objectivity : CLARUS Corporation endeavors to understand the values and desired outcomes of our clients. We will custom design our programs and practices to meet their unique needs. Prior to accepting any project, we ensure that there is a mutual understanding with the client college of the objectives, scope, work plans, fees and expenses for the duration of the contract. CLARUS Corporation only charges fees and expenses which are reasonable, legitimate and commensurate with the service delivered.

•Integrity : CLARUS Corporation is committed to providing accurate representation of our skills and capabilities. If we do not feel that we can honorably meet the needs of our clients we will assist them in finding an organization with a better "fit" for the successful outcome of the project they are undertaking.

•Dedication and Contribution : CLARUS Corporation will take ownership in the long-term positive outcome of a project and its impact on the success of our clients. That is, it is our commitment to contribute to developing sustainable competitive advantages for our clients. Thus, we will make every effort to follow up and to measure the impact of our programs.

•Commitment to Change : CLARUS Corporation believes that the members of our organization should not just be consultants, but should assist the colleges in making a sustainable change in their organization. We practice what we teach and believe in, particularly in terms of developing the skills of the personnel at the college to continue without us when the project is over. We continuously strive to learn new skills and best business practices worth employing in the management of our business as well as to share with our clients.

•Confidentiality : CLARUS Corporation respects the individual rights of the participants in the market assessment. We will not disclose any individual information about the participants unless so directed by the participants. We also respect the personnel and corporate rights of the college with which we work. We treat all college information as confidential, preventing access by unauthorized people unless indicated otherwise by the college. We do not take advantage of any proprietary or privileged information without the college’s permission.

•Reliability : Project delivery dates will be carefully planned in full consultation and agreement with the needs of the client college and the ability of CLARUS Corporation. Every effort will be invested to meet the commitment dates. In cases where circumstances prevent the meeting of a deadline or if meeting the deadline would jeopardize the integrity of a project, colleges will be given maximum notice and every alternative means for fulfillment will be undertaken.
