Liberty Spark is a grassroots movement aimed at solving unit-level problems for Airmen. We offer engagement across both local and international academia, industry partners, and technology start-ups to create and sustain a transformative and innovative culture. Through connecting our intrapreneurs to new tools, new methodologies, funding sources, industry collaboration, or just offering a diverse perspective on project development, we empower Airmen by cultivating and accelerating their ideas to bring the tools to the Warfighter today!

OUR OPERATING PRINCIPLES, CULTURE, AND CORE VALUES

Our Operating Principles

Our Operating Principles

Our Operating Principles

We include and excel together

We cultivate trust, treat one another with respect, and assume good intentions. We actively include different perspectives and work cooperatively within and across departments and units. We thrive when we celebrate the diversity in our community and our common commitment to equity, inclusion, and equal access to all Airmen.


We do not fear failure, we embrace it

We develop sustainable solutions that help our stakeholders thrive.  We are willing to take intelligent risks, make mistakes, and learn from our experiences.


We simplify

We reduce unnecessary steps, Non-Value added tasks, and make it easier to get things done. Our solutions are common where they can be, custom where it counts.


We measure what matters

We report on how Innovators have saved time, saved money, increased lethality, and increased efficiency. Our results have to be measurable and accurate to support our Airmens' efforts.


We are accountable to each other

We evaluate individual and team performance, make transparent decisions, and follow through on our commitments. We recognize excellence and give and receive constructive feedback at all levels to help us improve.


We focus on service

We provide timely, excellent service to Airmen, work-centers, and other stakeholders. We emphasize service over bureaucracy whenever possible.


We embrace, adapt to and drive change

We must accept change because the world is changing daily. By accepting that problems are occurring in every single work center, we can embrace the opportunity to pivot and drive how we do business, setting up the organization for future success.


Our Culture

Our Operating Principles

Our Operating Principles

We consider the needs of the people we work within our communication – and make sure our expectations are clear.


Bad news isn’t like wine. We share information right away and err on the side of over-communication.


This is a safe place to make honest mistakes. Tell us about them right away and we can work through them.


We are mindful of providing sufficient time for others to respond to our requests.


We work in a lot of gray areas. We empower each other to make our best decisions and move on.


If we don’t agree, that’s okay. Disagreements can be healthy. However, once a decision is made, it’s up to all of us to support it.


We honor each other’s requests to keep something confidential.


We don’t endorse and actively discourage gossip.


We’re human beings, and we recognize that we may not be at our best every day, but we still bring it.


We are prepared, on time, and ready to contribute.
