STARTING WITH


Culture is your greatest competitive advantage. Some business leaders may value their intellectual property, their capital investments, or even their portfolio of products or services as their greatest assets; but none of that would be possible without great company culture.


Josh Bersin, founder of Bersin by Doloitte, defines culture as, “the set of behaviors, values, artifacts, reward systems, and rituals that make up your organization – you can “feel” culture when you visit a company, because it is often evident in people’s behavior, enthusiasm, and the space itself.” And Gestalt psychologists define creativity as, “something that generates a new idea, insight, or solution through imagination rather than through logic or reason.”


What is most important for an industry centered around creating new and exciting ways to learn, explore, and thrill, is to not just create a great culture, but to create a great creative culture. At PGAV Destinations – every day our designers are immersed in that kind of exciting environment. Sarah Neal of CatMedia frames the importance of a creative culture like this:

making the environment more fun, happy, and laid back. Who wouldn’t want to work for a company with a work environment like that? Tis will attract more employees and retain quality workers. Creativity will always make your employees want to learn more by seeking multiple options, ideas, and solutions for the business.”


But, “simply adding a Ping-Pong table to your break room isn’t enough,” says Alison Quirk, EVP of State Street Corporation. “Workplace perks like nap rooms, coffee bars, and on-site massage might be nice-to-haves, but they aren’t the only path to creating a workplace culture that encourages the kind of personal and strategic risk-taking that creativity requires.” Over the last several years, PGAV Destinations staff have helped guide the creation of numerous innovative programs to grow and celebrate a powerful, fast- paced, exciting, and fun workplace community. Tis not only creates a culture that attracts career-long commitment to PGAV, but is penultimate in achieving our mission of creating destinations that enrich lives, enhance communities, and celebrate culture, nature, and heritage.


In this issue of Destinology, we take a look at how PGAV Destinations is experimenting with innovative ways to curate a creative culture, and the powerful and lasting impact those efforts are achieving.
