Purpose

 

Rapid change in global markets is driving the need for organizations to accelerate learning and adapt to changes quickly to be successful. PKP assists leaders by engaging stakeholders effectively to transform their organization into a collaborative learning, results-oriented system.

 

Practical Values

 

We hold ourselves and our stakeholders to the highest  ethical standards

• Stakeholders are associates, clients and the organizations and communities in which PKP impacts.

• Operate according to the laws in the countries in which we work and expect the same from our clients and partners.

• Work at the third level of ethical and moral reasoning.

• At this third level of moral reasoning, stakeholders may be challenged to make tough decisions that don’t benefit themselves or their organizations, but will benefit the larger common good.

 

Safeguard confidentiality

• Ensure that all client information is managed securely and with care to prevent unintended “leaks”.

• If data is to be used from a client, it should be “cleaned” so that it cannot be identified by others, with approval of the client sought before publishing.

• We expect stakeholders to protect our intellectual property as we protect theirs.

 

We work with stakeholders who possess the desire to learn and change for the better

• Seek clients who are willing to question themselves and all aspects of the way that they run their organizations.

• Ensure alignment of clients, even to the extent of sacrificing our short-term business needs.
