Succeeding in the People profession today is harder than ever before. We have higher expectations, fluctuating talent issues, and greater responsibilities than any time in history. But by narrowing our focus to the key, high-leverage activities that matter to our people and the business, we can create more successful talent outcomes overall. In this session, author and researcher Ben Eubanks will share insights into the three key trends that are affecting the workforce in 2023, including strategies and real stories of practitioners who are tackling these challenges head on.

Afternoon Keynote: Ignite Culture – The Antidote to Strategic Gridlock
Speaker: Margaret Graziano, Chief Evangelist at KeenAlignment, Author & Coach

You may have heard this quote from management guru Peter Drucker, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Here’s what he didn’t say, but that you probably know from experience… “An entangled culture eats your leadership team for lunch and your CEO for dinner.”
This is because the harder an organization pushes strategies on an entangled culture, the more it rebels and the more entangled it becomes – we call this “strategic gridlock”.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. And it won’t be this way when you have an Emergent Culture because an Emergent Culture is the antidote to strategic gridlock.
Attendees will walk away with the following culture-building skills:

Clarity on the 4 core needs of an Emergent Culture
How to spot the 3 biggest “cultural torpedoes” that elude most leaders.
How to foster a peak performing culture that breeds trust, alignment, and accountability… without cracking the whip or allowing free-for-all behavior.
