Value statement and core values

The IT University exists, because Denmark wants to be a leading IT nation.

ITU's value statement is based on Scandinavian cultural traditions: A short distance between employees and management, employee development through academic and vocational challenges, independence as well as result orientation and focus on human relations and working environment.

ITU has three cultural core values that are a continuation hereof: direction-finding, forthcoming and accountable. These cultural core values are joint values throughout ITU.

The interpretation and weighting of the core values may vary as a result of varying focus within ITU's business areas. Among ITU employees, profiles such as “the independent and inquisitive person in a rebel organisation” and “the clarifying and challenged person in an effective organisation” are dominant.

ITU has and accepts a forthcoming culture where the way in which the cultural core values are met may vary within the various employee groups. However, ITU attaches importance to ensuring that there is always harmony between the diversity of local interpretations.
