Summary

Professionalism is not an end in itself; it delivers key outcomes, including improved services and better value for money. Professional organisations create confidence and trust in their customers, suppliers, staff and other stakeholders, which results in reduced costs, increased profits and an enhanced reputation for the industry as a whole. Organisational professionalism is essential to keep the UK industry globally competitive and profitable, ensuring it commands respect from other professionals and has a universally high reputation among stakeholders.

Organisational Professionalism Guidelines was written to define organisational professionalism and give guidelines for organisations to implement it. Intellect encourages all organisations to embed these guidelines in their business and in their contracts with other organisations. A mutual commitment to observe the guidelines should be made explicit between customer and supply organisations. The responsibility for managing unprofessional behaviour should also be embedded into the relationship and commitment.
