Our People Deal

Our People Deal manifesto shares the story of who we are, what we do and where we’re heading. It is also the foundation of Our People Deal, outlining what you can expect of us as a company and what we expect of you.

Our People Deal Manifesto

Cisco didn’t just build the Internet . We keep building it. First the Internet of computers. Then the Internet of people. Now the Internet of Everything.

Our technology changes the way the world works, lives, plays and learns. But our edge doesn’t come from technology. It comes from our people

It begins with the knowledge that tomorrow starts here. With us. And with you. With the amazing things that happen when we connect the unconnected.

We connect everything – people, process, data and things – and we use those connections to change our world for the better. We don’t just dream it, we do it every day at Cisco. And we’re doing it faster than ever before, in ways no one else can.

We innovate everywhere to create fresh ideas and possibilities. Taking bold risks to shape the future because we understand every failure is a success if we learn from it.

We make a meaningful difference for our people, our customers and the world around us. We support each other and work together to create shared success that will benefit everyone.

The future of Cisco. The growth of our customers. The lives of people around the world. They’re all connected. Because the Internet of Everything is here. And everything starts with you.

Our Values

Our Cisco values reflect who we are, what we believe, and how we behave. They are foundational to our unique culture.

We give our time and knowledge to create innovative technologies and positive experiences that make the world a better place. We think big and make no excuses.


We have the courage to take informed risks, simplify the complex and pursue excellence. We anticipate market transitions and chart new paths to relevant, meaningful solutions for our customers.


We recognize that when we bring together our collective experience, knowledge and ideas, we drive better solutions to help our customers and partners succeed and our business grow profitably. We leverage our technology to move quickly together, focused on delivering the results the business needs from us.


We are a company built on relationships so we listen to our customers. We take their needs on as our own and move as quickly as they need us to. We deliver superior solutions to achieve their dreams and earn their trust as their most strategic business partner.


We work, grow, learn and have fun together. We support and trust one another. We inspire each other. We celebrate diverse perspectives, encourage openness and reward team results.


We are honest and straightforward. We say what needs to be said and hold ourselves accountable. We earn the trust and confidence of others. Our integrity defines and leads us.
