Become PCI® Certified
Your path to developing a strong culture that creates healthy and powerful results
PCI® Certification strengthens your toolbox for working with People Culture Intelligence
With a PCI® Certification, you learn to work with our PCI® Culture Analysis and PCI® Dialogue Tools.
We've made it easy for you to measure and work with your culture, and with this certification we teach you how. You get the tools, skills and everything you need to work with data, dialogue and education.
With our PCI® Certification, you'll be able to:
Create and manage cultural analyses
You can use PCI® Culture Analysis to explore organisational cultures, create and manage analytics via the PCI® Platform, and use data and graphs to initiate dialogues and make conscious, strategic choices.
Facilitate meaningful dialogues
You can use the PCI® Dialogue Tools to structure and open dialogues with key concepts. The tools make it possible to minimise preparation and ensure that all participants are engaged, have speaking time and actively contribute to the reflections.
Creating organisational change
You can facilitate in-depth reflections and conversations that raise awareness of the dynamics between people. This creates fertile ground for new ways of communicating, collaborating and driving change in the organisation.
Strengthen leadership and ownership
You can implement the PCI® methodology to support a leadership style that promotes cohesion, followership and a strategic approach to culture development, ensuring stronger ownership in the organisation.
Improve team performance
You can use the dialogue tools to strengthen team interaction, increase engagement and build community. The conversations help to capitalise on the strengths of diversity and provide a springboard for joint action and increased team performance.
Expand methods and practices
You can integrate concrete tools that enable the organisation to combine data, reflection and dialogue in both daily and strategic processes. This strengthens the organisation's ability to navigate complex challenges.
