Our mission PXL University of Applied Sciences professionalises people and organisations, contributing to prosperity and well-being. Our vision By strongly intertwining education, research, service provision and practice of the arts, Hogeschool PXL wants its students (junior colleagues) and staff to grow as excellent professionals (= X-factor) and, together with its partners, to continue to grow as an excellent professional organisation (= X-factor). We translate the PXL vision into the X-factor which models the ‘excellent professional’ and the ‘excellent-professional-organisation’. We always use ‘excellent’ in combination (-) with ‘professional’ because we do not strive for excellence an sich, but for being ‘excellent-professional’. The X-factor is a combination of (em)passion, of being entrepreneurial and innovative, of (multi)disciplinarity and of (international) cooperation (networking). The X-factor with its four overlapping axes, forms a single and indivisible whole of hard and soft skills and is more than the sum of its parts. The X-factor has a double effect. It is both our ‘viewing pointer’ and our ‘compass’. The viewing guide for (self)reflection indicates where we are at the start, the compass shows us the way to the ultimate goal, the excellent professional/professional organisation. The X-factor is not only a guide and a compass for our junior colleagues, staff and network, but also for PXL University, as a beacon in its pursuit of an excellent professional organisation (= X-factor).
