Professional Culture

Professional culture describes the underlying framework that shapes an organizational ecosystem over time.

Professionalization

Professionalization can be thought of as the social process by which any occupation transforms itself into a true profession. The process tends to result in establishing acceptable qualifications, a body or association to oversee the conduct of members within the profession, and some method to differentiate between the qualified and unqualified.

Professionals

Professionals are the individuals who possess expertise in a particular area or field that allows them to accomplish the distinctive tasks of their position. For example: a professional musician must have specialized training in sight-reading techniques while also understanding the complexities of his/her instrument.
