What we were doing was not scaling

At Novu, we like to think of our mission as more than just business - it's about creating a powerful πŸ’ͺ , shared culture that promotes effective communication. We are committed to building a robust, asynchronous communication channels with talented individuals around the globe.

However, as we where going about our daily async communication we would have to constantly have to talk between each other on how we can do better.

While talking between each other was getting us closer to what we wanted, we need to have a target 🎯 to guide us.

This is where our communication manifest πŸ“œ comes in. This manifest holds our principles for communication with us and the people we support.

These principles steer our decision-making procedures, supporting our mission to adapt and thrive amidst the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Now we want to share this Manifest with you.
