Transforming cultures

Inspired by the work of David Liddle, founder and president of the PCA, more and more organisations are striving to create a fair, just, sustainable, inclusive and high performing culture - a Transformational Culture. The PCA provides a safe space for members to engage in dialogue and debate and to develop the necessary toolkits and resource to support this exciting cultural shift.
