Professional Communications, Inc.
Professional Communications, Inc. is a research and development firm focused on the production, publication and national
distribution of knowledge based products. The firm's interest centers on the behavior of groups of people functioning in organized,
goal directed environments. PCI offers multiple products designed to enhance the functioning of groups and networks of groups up to
and including entire organizations.
Research & Development Framework
PCI's interest has been codified under the concept of "Organizational Engineering." Organizational Engineering is
defined as a branch of knowledge which seeks to understand, measure, predict and guide the behavior of groups of human beings. These
results have been achieved by viewing human beings as information processing organisms. Groups of human beings are seen as an
information exchange network that is guided by fundamental principles and observable structures. "I-Opt"™ is a basic measurement tool.
The instrument does not draw on psychology and therefore can be used as a complement to traditional tools and methodologies.
