Employee Research and PCT Organizations

I have been immersed in employee research and studying PCT organizational change for the past few months.  It stands to reason, from my perceptual lens, that if organizations intend to embrace PCT within practice then PCT must BE the cultural way of being in organizational life.  Walk the Talk.  PCT is not just something we DO with clients - it is the how we ARE with one another.   


I admire the drive and commitment to incorporate PCT approaches within the vast aging continuum.  Be it community-based services to skilled nursing, it has been a privilege to learn about the many ways organizations are transforming the cultural fabric.  My awareness is also heightened to the challenges faced in forwarding culture change.  Aging care and services is a complex system of internal and external influences that often demonstrate a disconnect between words and actions.  PCT cultural change sure sounds like a great idea and the aging network in Western society is drinking the Kool Aid.  I look forward to further studying the various manifestations of this important work.

PCT cultural change is intentional work.  Upcoming posts are going to be devoted to exploring the distinctions between organizational culture and climate.  And - how purposeful change actions at the climate level can begin to impact a positive shift in organizational culture.
