Abstract

The workshop presented at the EPCA 2016 conference, after highlighting the strong connections between PCP and contemporary arts and their effectiveness in improving organisational growth, introduced a methodology for operating inside organisations. The model assumes the co-construction of the intervention by a PCP consultant, responsible for the analysis of client’s needs and group processes, an artist, the catalyst for change, and a producer, the crucial mediator between consultant, client and artist.
The workshop participants experienced this intervention methodology by working directly with an artist and realizing a collective artwork piece, which embodies the group answer to a question about PCT identity.
 
Key words: PCP, organisations, contemporary arts, creativity
