Our Core Values
"Do to others as you would have them do to you." - Luke 6:31
BMI strives, above and beyond the pursuit of profit - both for itself or its clients and members - to act justly, honestly, and in good faith. BMI is a privately-held, family-run company, to prevent conflicts of interest between shareholders and management; there is no external or investor pressure to raise share value at any cost. This gives BMI the freedom to always do what is right and fair, making decisions that have the long-term interest for our clients at heart.

- Seek first to understand, then be understood
- Commensurate Value Exchange (i.e. win/win, fairness)
- Respect for how environment, behavior, and attitudes affect others
- Understand that individual paradigms determine attitudes and behaviors
Integrity
- Alignment of what we believe, what we think, what we say, and what we do
- Objective Alignment (between owners, management, and frontline personnel)
Truth
- Candor, Honesty
- Eschew exaggeration or deception
- Acknowledgement of what the data indicates over mere perception and opinions
- Understand the limitations of and difference between perception, interpretation, recall, and communication (i.e. a disagreement does not equate to intentional deception)
Collaboration
- Between BMI and its clients
- Teamwork within a business
- Community support
- Distribution of idea generation and implementation, productivity, and accountability
Improvement
- Accurate measurement
- Focus on comparison to our history, not our competitors
Refine in perpetuity
Acknowledgement that it will never be perfect, yet the pursuit is critical
It is more practical to implement several small, impactful ideas than one major overhaul
Seek ideas everywhere, and endeavor to implement 100%
Go and see - witness production firsthand and communicate with those most intimately familiar with processes and their limitations
Elimination of waste
Challenge everything
Understand that the status quo may be inefficient or antiquated
