Why us?
A refreshingly different kind of partnership
The way most organisations build software is rooted in Industrial Age Thinking. This way of thinking is outmoded and ineffective for today's collaborative knowledge work. Luckily, change is coming; change initiated by a recognition there are more effective, and joyful ways in which we can work together to deliver better outcomes. We’re proposing a new approach to software development, a human-centred approach that puts collaboration, relationships and learning at its heart.We’re inviting you on the journey.
Using our business as a force for good
We believe businesses that balance purpose and profit are essential for a positive and healthy future. This is why we're well on our way to becoming a certified B Corp.

To build software that's the right answer to the right problem, using our business to inspire and implement solutions that have a lasting positive impact on people and planet.
What rocks our boat
Relationships, relationships, relationships
The cornerstone of all success, all advancement and innovation is founded on personal relationships. Spend some time each day learning about someone else: a customer, a user, or a colleague. Nurture the relationships and the rest will look after itself.
Tough problems, solved together
Join forces to help each other solve problems and achieve far more than we could ever dream of doing alone. Help others to reach their full potential, celebrate together and support each other during difficult times.
Honesty. Always
Actively seek and give feedback, embracing it as a tool for continuous learning. Ask for the things you need and listen to others. Always empathise, never judge. And remember, honesty is always the best policy.
Optimise for learning
To reach our highest potential explore your curiosity each and every day. Accept mistakes as the fuel for learning and share each new discovery for the benefit of everyone.
Embrace the challenge
Accept that solutions are emergent not fixed. Embrace the unknown, meeting each new challenge head on with an open mind and nimble approach, with the confidence this attitude will enable you to find a way.
Radical trust
Allow others to be free to make their own decisions and never try to control someone else. In the end, use your freedom responsibly by doing what feels right rather than following the rules.
Socially responsible
Use our expertise to tackle social and environmental challenges. Choose to fight for people and planet, speak up and keep our ship on this course.
Make Waves
There's no defined path to excellence; we'll need to plot our own course. Challenge the status quo, always ask why and embrace those that challenge us.
Never settle: treading water is boring, let's make waves!
Don't just take our word for it.
Working with We Make Waves delivered more than just the tangible outputs we originally anticipated. The team challenged us to think about our approach to problem solving and product development in a way that we could apply outside of the specific project we were working on.
