00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:05.240
Integrity,

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:08.680
is the first amongst the equal

3
00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:10.000
of the three.

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.240
The three I’s.

5
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.040
In all humility,

6
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:16.280
we strive to be

7
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.640
innovative and we strive

8
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.320
for impact.

9
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.360
And much that I would like to believe

10
00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:24.760
that we succeed more often than not,

11
00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:27.520
but it's still something we aspire for,

12
00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:28.360
we strive for.

13
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.560
Integrity, however,

14
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:32.560
is an absolute.

15
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:34.320
I might

16
00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:36.840
persevere, encourage even,

17
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:39.600
to work with a co-worker or a colleague

18
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:40.520
who is,

19
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:42.840
maybe not able to meet the bar on

20
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.640
innovation or impact in a certain given situation.

21
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.000
But I don't think I would be

22
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.000
as charitable with somebody

23
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.880
on whom I do not trust in terms of integrity.

24
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:53.680
So, to me,

25
00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:55.960
the fundamental tenet of our work

26
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:57.800
is to

27
00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:00.280
give our recommendations and

28
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.920
take our actions with an extremely

29
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.200
undiluted sense of integrity.

30
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.200
In some way I would associate integrity

31
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.600
in our line of work with intellectual honesty.

32
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.480
When we

33
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.520
meet give them a recommendation,

34
00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:15.480
we stand by what we feel is right

35
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.200
and not necessarily toe the line that they

36
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.600
want us to and possibly that's where

37
00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:22.440
BCG differentiates itself from

38
00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:24.120
many of the others who they work with.

39
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.080
So 25 is

40
00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:28.840
when you just completed your undergraduate.

41
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.640
You've completed a post graduate.

42
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.440
You've just

43
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:33.880
started the journey of your professional career

44
00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:36.800
and personally I can vouch for it

45
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.040
that the age of 25 to 50 is

46
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.520
the best years of your life.

47
00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:43.480
So congratulations you've joined BCG in its prime.

48
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.680
So enjoy the next many many years to come.
