Depth Of Expertise

  • On-the-job experience

  • Access to proprietary data

  • Robust networks

  • Education

Accuracy

Expert news is generally different forms of analysis and commentary, which often contains some element of subjectivity. Nonetheless, all analysis offered as the basis for expert news must be accurate and cannot contain:

  • Misrepresentations

  • Comments or attributions out of context

  • Negative references to competitors

  • Flattering references to business relationships without explicit disclosure of the nature of the relationship

  • Anonymous sources

Capable

XP team members are capable - they’re “foxhole” people, people who shine when the path is steep and the pressure is on. Creating a new business category is not for the coddled and not for the inept. Our team members’ capabilities are the foundation of everything we accomplish at the XP.

Change Agents

XP team members are change agents. They seek to understand deeply, perform at high levels, and make a better world through better sharing of relevant knowledge. Change agents don’t accept the sub-optimal or the status quo, and XP team members seek to drive positive change.
