From The Vision 2030 Address:
"Looking back over the past 20+ years, Dälhaus UniverCity has come a long way from the old construction paper, cardboard, and foamboard buildings that were, at one time, the pillar of this institution---and the paper furniture within that was so painstakingly and excruciatingly crafted by hand. Over the past two decades, our buildings have graduated from paper and plastic, to stone and glass. Our vehicles have gone from the generic toys from the general store, to some of the most detailed---and in some cases rare---diecast collectibles available anywhere. We've gone from taking a Lionel train set, gifted during Christmas, and the idea of a rail system, to an indoor-outdoor combination garden-scale transit system incorporating some of the largest model trains available as well as locomotives and rolling stock that are among the last of their kind. We no longer have the battery-operated toy lights that once gave the faint impression of realism, but now require our own generator to power an expansive electrical system. And we no longer borrow the ideas and looks of other organizations and institutions, but rather we are establishing our own style, our own look, our own 'brand'.
While its former identity as 'The Doll House District' was indeed fitting, the more recent graduation to 'Dälhaus UniverCity' is even more appropriate. Charlotte-Southe CFI, the flagship building of the UniverCity, has often been regarded as a city within its own right due to its size and its incorporation of the numerous aforementioned amenities. But today, this institution's physical makeup and layout resembles that of collegiate institution, yet it still functions as an independent city, hence the play on the traditional word 'university' and the utilization of the word "UniverCity". And while 'Dälhaus UniverCity's' name gives a sense of completion to this project, that completion is simply in name only. From Wolfeton House to UniverCity Row to Dransfeld Marschal, the UniverCity is still heavily under construction, with buildings such as the Centre for Human Advancement and Social Enrichment still in the planning and development stages and with assets such as diecast vehicles and garden-scale rolling stock still being acquired. The UniverCity is still growing, and will continue to grow, with exquisite attention to detail and functionality and with a sense of pride and prestige. This isn't just a series of large, commercial dollhouses. Dälhaus UniverCity is a showcase to talent, ingenuity, innovation, and the unique impression that the artistry of miniatures can convey." - Dr. Karlin Patrick (July 2020)
Inspiration, Education, Innovation, & Evaluation
Our Core Values
These four elements are not only essential in creating solutions for our clients, but are instrumental in assessing the initial problem, if one exists. We believe that individuals and organizations must have the (1) inspiration and desire to serve their clientele, the (2) education to meet and respond to the needs of said clientele, and once that education is acquired, they must create (3) innovation by using the improved systems and organizational structures to produce success. And finally, once all transformational systems are in place and operational we must (4) evaluate the effectiveness of the new structures to see if additional changes are warranted. And long-term, this is a process that merely repeats itself.
What We Do, Plain and Simple
When individuals, organizations, or other various groups and entities are struggling to achieve their goals or meet their desired objectives, that's when The UniverCity steps in, and we do this through The Pegicis Institute. Whether it's something as simple as the necessity of a new website, flyer, or presentational aspect to give that extra appeal, a much-needed webinar series to give you that extra edge and training, to something as grandiose as a organization whose personnel or leadership team requires training, a structural overhaul, or replacement, Pegicis specializes in governmental solutions that lead to transformational results. In basic terms: when institutions are failing, we initiate, implement, and help sustain the turnaround.
How We Do It.
Once the client is enrolled and/or the contract is issued, we identify the needs of clientele and key areas of concern and develop an action plan for professional development or revitalization. Then, we implement transformational tools, strategies, and personnel within the organization or group structure and assess the effectiveness of the newly implemented structures using evaluative systems and tools and make modifications as necessary. Finally, we equip personnel to sustain their newly established excellence independently, and at this time clients may choose to part with the institute, or continue with ongoing enrollment.
Why We Do It.
When an organization, group, or institution is failing to achieve the effectiveness it seeks, most immediately opt to replace their leader, the entire leadership, or a staff member or entire team, or change their look or slogan to re-float their sinking ship. And when individuals are struggling, they believe they need to find a new job or industry, or go back to school and spend thousands for training that may not even be suitable or necessary for them. And on rare occasions, this just may actually solve the problem. However, oftentimes, the underlying issues are far larger and require a much more drastic overhauls including bridging gaps between leadership and personnel, rebuilding respect and rapport among institutions and their clientele, creating an environment conducive to the organization's objectives, and utilizing transformational leadership and effective organizational structures. And most institutions find that they cannot accomplish this internally.
