AVC operates according to seven guiding principles: 

​

1)  Integrity – AVC strives to operate with the utmost integrity. Integrity is the most important quality when professional services are the product. Integrity is the currency that creates change. 

​

2)  Excellence – It should be a given that a company strives for excellence, but all too often this is not the case. AVC provides premier deliverables created by proven professionals to a selective clientele of socially responsible changemakers. 

​

3)  Professionalism – Alis Volat operates with a fun, upbeat, sometimes edgy-where-appropriate tone, but professionalism remains key. AVC builds upon a well-established, well-respected professional reputation.

​

4)  Authenticity – Clients of AVC enjoy a personalized experience that is grounded and honest, even when honesty may be uncomfortable or unpopular. This is part of AVC's commitment to authenticity and part of what sets it apart from other consulting firms. While AVC is profit-focused, other values take priority.

​

5)  Transparency – AVC clients are informed and treated fairly with respect to what can and cannot be accomplished via available services. AVC tells potential clients when a matter may be better handled elsewhere, even if by a competitor. Additionally, fee structures are clearly communicated and agreed upon in advance.

​

6)  Community – AVC strives to be a community partner. “Community” at AVC extends ever-outward in concentric circles, like the splash of a pebble in a pond. From office atmosphere to our relationships across the globe, AVC is dedicated to creating healthy communities that are inclusive to all.

​

7)  Empathy (defined as the ability to resonate with another) – AVC operates with empathy by taking the time to truly understand client needs, challenges, risks, fears, goals, and dreams. Empathy allows AVC to provide better service. Empathy does not require endorsement.
