Moving Correctly, Not Just Fast at Monochrome
At Monochrome, “Act with Pace” means more than just working quickly—it’s about working effectively, decisively, and with intention. In a fast-moving mobility business like ours, our ability to respond promptly while keeping our standards high is what sets us apart.
Here’s how we can all live this value day to day:
⚖️ Balance Speed with Quality
Encouraging quick action is great, but we also need to maintain quality. Whether you're launching a new feature, solving a rider’s concern, or assigning drivers in high-demand areas, pace must come with precision. Find the sweet spot between moving fast and delivering well.
At Monochrome: Rushing a driver onboarding might save a day, but ensuring all documents are checked could save the company from future compliance issues. That’s smart pace.
👥 Empower Your Team to Move Quickly
Great teams move fast together. Support each other to make confident decisions without unnecessary red tape. A culture of trust enables pace.
Ask: “Can we simplify this process?”
Delegate decisions when possible.
Encourage your team to share blockers early.
Example: If a dashboard bug affects brand partner analytics, don’t wait—flag it, log it, and loop in devs early so we don't lose momentum.
🔍 Focus on What Really Matters
Recognize high-impact tasks and prioritise them. Don’t get buried in the details that slow everyone down.
Be calm under pressure.
Help others focus.
Avoid distractions that steal your energy.
💡 Tip: Ask yourself regularly—"Is this the best use of my time right now?"
🔁 Promote Continuous Improvement
Speed without reflection leads to burnout and repeated mistakes. Build habits of reviewing what worked and what didn’t. At Monochrome, we’re constantly learning—from drivers, users, data, and each other.
Host short debriefs after launches.
Celebrate quick wins.
Note what could’ve been done better.
🧠 Plan with Vision, Not Just Reaction
Having a clear direction prevents wasteful sprints. Don’t just react—move with intent. Think of Monochrome as a spaceship: swift, but always on course.
Be intentional.
Manage workload efficiently.
Use flexible strategies to hit targets.
✅ Everyday Actions to “Act with Pace”:
Give feedback and make decisions quickly.
Plan ahead while staying adaptable.
Remain calm when the pressure rises.
Reflect and adapt for better next time.
