Description
Many have observed for organizations there is evidence to support the belief that their cultures are their destinies. During the summer of 2020, the DELTA-PHY initiative was launched in an effort for the APS to deliberate upon and if needed move to transform its culture. It does this by asking three key questions: (a.) What are the values of the APS? (b.) Aside from producing world-class physics, what are the inputs,
outputs, practices, traditions of the APS? (c.) Do answers to these questions align and are they in alignment with the APS 2019 strategic plan? DELTA PHY activities are envisioned to be timely and cutting across the society's 'stove pipe' structures.
