PCI's Seven Driving Values

BY DREW CLANCY, PCI PRESIDENT

At the time I joined PCI I had recently finished reading Built to Last, the wonderful book by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras which analyzed 18 visionary companies and the underlying reasons for their success. Even today it remains one of my all-time favorite books. One of the key traits that Collins and Porras identified that allowed these companies to be successful over decades and even centuries was that each company had a set of deeply ingrained values. It wasn’t that they had the “same” values but rather that each visionary company had a set of values that was specific to them. I found this idea to be very powerful.

We brought together a small team inside PCI to set about the process of articulating our values – which was both interesting and fun. People, families, and organizations all have values. Our job wasn’t to “create” PCI’s values, but rather to capture and articulate them. One of things I enjoyed about the process was that it allowed us to pursue two, somewhat contradictory goals.
One of our objectives was capture the values and philosophies that had made my dad and my grandfather successful. For example, the first value we put forward was Excellence: “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” My dad had made that statement to my sister and me countless times while we were growing up. Integrity (“We require complete honesty and integrity in everything we do”), Profitability (“To achieve our personal and professional goals, we must make money and generate cash”) and Service (“We see each day as an opportunity to serve our clients, our community, and each other”) were other core values held by my dad and grandfather.
Second, as a newly-minted MBA from Northwestern, I was excited about the opportunity to expand and improve the business. We not only wanted to look backward, we wanted to look forward and transform the company. This desire for growth was the driver behind our Change value (“Like the samurai warrior, our motto is ‘Act Fearlessly’”) as well as our Fun value (“Work is an important part of life and it should be fun!”).

To transform PCI we realized our first and most important goal was to attract and retain the right group of people who shared this passion. This realization led to our People Value. Today, we have crystallized our People value to its essence: “We believe people have potential. We believe people have the capacity for greatness.” I believe it is worthwhile though to refer back to our People value in its entirety as it is a summation of all of our values and a clear vision for what we are trying to accomplish at PCI.

PCI’S PEOPLE VALUE

We believe that people have potential.

We believe that people have the capacity for greatness.

We are dedicated to providing the opportunities, challenges, tools, respect, and encouragement to allow our Associates to realize their potential and achieve great things.

We seek to hire people who have a passion for life – people who have a positive mental attitude (“Optimism is a force multiplier”), who are crazy about learning, who have a sense of humor about themselves, who take ownership for themselves and their environment, and who trust that persistence and a strong work ethic are the keys to success.

We are dedicated to developing leaders and leadership throughout our company – leadership of projects, ideas, and the promotion of our seven driving values.

At PCI,
Values Matter.

In fact, there are five values that form the foundation of everything we do. Everyone here is expected to lead every day. And that starts with living what we say we believe.

At PCI, We love the work we do. And we love the people we work with. Our purpose is to “inspire dreams and transform lives.” We live by our values and we hold ourselves accountable. For those people driven by trustworthiness, authenticity, a desire to serve, and who want a career where they can learn and grow, there’s no better place in America to work.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY: BE A GREAT PLACE TO WORK!

PCI has been named to numerous BEST PLACES TO WORK lists in Virginia, Arkansas and Texas and we topped the list in Arkansas, and in Texas, twice. You’re next Virginia!

We’re looking for people who share our values.
At PCI, we have five core values that serve as our foundation for both work and life: To pursue excellence purposely. To unlock human potential. To act with integrity. To innovate a culture of relationships and fun. And to always lead with a servant’s heart. Our belief is if we share the same values, we’ll make consistent decisions. That makes us faster and it makes us better.

Happy Associates = Happy Clients.
For those who recognize it, this is a special place unlike any other. Our purpose is to inspire dreams and transform lives. It’s no wonder, we love what we do.

Working at PCI isn’t a job, or even a career. It’s a calling.
We’re not like other companies. PCI is an environment of constant learning. Of personal evolution. A place where every person gets to decide who they most want to be, with our collective support to help them get there.
