Tuck’s Net Positive Impact
“For their own good, companies must play an active role in solving our biggest shared challenges. The economy won’t thrive unless people and the planet are thriving.”
– Paul Polman & Andrew Winston in The Net Positive Manifesto

At Tuck, values matter. Whether you’re an employee, vendor, partner, or client, we have to see values alignment to be able to achieve great things together.
Our #1 rule is that everyone is striving to have a net positive impact. We aren’t talking idealism. We are talking about treating team members well, operating with integrity, and always acknowledging that there are others out there that are expert at something different than us.
This page is dedicated to describing the ways that we are striving to have a net positive impact on the people and communities around us.
At Tuck, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are woven into the fabric of our firm. As project managers, our value lies in our ability to bring together diverse teams with unique skill sets to achieve a common goal.
That value goes beyond helping a developer understand a designer’s vision or translating a CFO’s love of spreadsheets into a blueprint for how a systems analyst designs an ERP.
We bring the kind of talent that values geographic, physical, social, neurological, economic, and experiential diversity on every team, whether they have a Tuck email address or if they work for a client, vendor, or partner.

They are at the heart of leading successful teams, engaging stakeholders and conquering challenges to the project plan. Technical skills enable project managers to chart the path from the start of a project to close, but power skills are how they bring the entire team along for the journey to execute a common vision.”
