The Jefferies & Partners. PRIME Code®
Our Culture. Our Commitment. Our Compass.
At Jefferies & Partners, the PRIME Code™ is the foundation of everything we do. It’s not just a list of values on a poster, it’s how we show up, how we lead, and how we stand by each other when it matters most.
The PRIME Code® is our shared language and our collective promise. It guides our mindset, shapes our relationships, and sets the standard for how we deliver, whether we’re solving complex challenges, building lasting partnerships, or simply taking care of each other in the day-to-day.
Each letter stands for a principle that defines who we are:
Passion. Resilience. Ingenuity. Mateship. Empathy.
Together, these values form the DNA of our team. They remind us to lead with integrity, work with care, and never lose sight of the people and purpose behind the task. This is how we create value, not just in our outcomes, but in how we get there.
Welcome to the PRIME Code®. Welcome to Jefferies & Partners.
The PRIME Code® explained
Passion
We bring energy, focus, and purpose to our work.
Passion is what drives us to care - truly care, about the work we do, the people we serve, and the outcomes we help shape. It’s not just about enthusiasm; it’s about showing up with intent, with pride in our craft, and with a deep commitment to excellence.
In a fast-moving, volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) business world, our consultants are acutely aware of the pressures leaders face. That’s why we bring passion not just as energy, but as a stabilising force, grounding our work in clarity, purpose, and shared ambition.
Our passion shows in the questions we ask, the effort we invest, and the ownership we take. It fuels our creativity, sharpens our focus, and pushes us to go beyond expectations, not because we have to, but because we’re driven by meaning, not just metrics.
In an environment that never stops changing, passion keeps our work human, our relationships strong, and our commitment unwavering.
Resilience
We stay steady under pressure and bounce back stronger.
Resilience is more than endurance, it’s the quiet strength to navigate adversity with purpose and poise. In moments of uncertainty or disruption, we don’t retreat; we regroup, recalibrate, and rise.
At Jefferies & Partners, we believe resilience is a team sport. It’s about showing up when things get tough, adapting with grace, and helping others do the same. We draw strength from one another, stay grounded in our values, and move through challenge, together.
Our consultants bring calm to complexity, composure to crisis, and clarity to chaos. In the face of setbacks, we don’t just recover, we learn, evolve, and lead forward. Because in a world where change is constant, resilience is what keeps us, and our clients, moving with intention and confidence.
Ingenuity
We think creatively, act resourcefully, and solve problems with clarity and flair.
Ingenuity is our edge, the ability to cut through complexity, bring fresh thinking to the table, and find practical solutions that work. In a world shaped by deep tech, AI, and accelerating digital transformation, our ingenuity keeps us ahead of the curve.
We collaborate with leading IT partners, harness emerging technologies, and stay curious about what’s next. But we don’t chase innovation for its own sake, we use it deliberately, to solve real problems and create real value. Whether we're designing smarter systems, navigating change, or crafting future-ready strategies, ingenuity helps us unlock what's possible
Mateship
We’ve got each other’s backs, and our clients’, too.
Mateship is the loyalty, trust, and camaraderie that holds our team together. It’s the quiet strength of showing up for one another, helping, listening, checking in, and the boldness of stepping up without hesitation when it really counts.
But mateship doesn’t stop at our internal culture. It’s also how we build enduring relationships with our clients. We’re in it with them, not just for them, offering honest counsel, steady partnership, and the confidence that we’re someone they can rely on when the pressure’s on.
Whether inside the team or across the table, mateship is the bond that turns collaboration into commitment. It’s how we create safe, high-performing environments where trust is earned, loyalty is mutual, and people feel seen, supported, and never alone in the challenge.
Empathy
We lead with humanity.
Empathy is the heart of how we work. It’s about staying attuned to people, their needs, their context, their unspoken pressures, and responding with care, not just competence. We listen deeply, act with integrity, and always strive to do what’s right, even when no one’s watching.
In fast-paced, high-stakes environments, empathy keeps us grounded. It helps us build trust across cultures, communicate with nuance, and lead with emotional intelligence. It reminds us that behind every challenge is a person, and behind every decision, a human impact.
At Jefferies & Partners, empathy isn’t a soft skill, it’s a strategic one. It shapes how we support each other, how we serve our clients, and how we stay true to what matters most: people first, always.
