Culture has moved from being a supportive backdrop to a critical determinant of organisational performance, growth and resilience. Boards and executive teams now expect culture to do real work: enabling strategy delivery, accelerating decision making, shaping leadership behaviour and helping organisations adapt at speed in a fast changing, high pressure environment. When culture and strategy are misaligned, progress stalls. When they are aligned, organisations move faster, attract stronger talent and outperform their peers.

Against a backdrop of sustained economic pressure, rapid AI adoption, evolving workforce expectations and growing complexity, HR and people leaders are being asked to translate culture into a tangible, investible business asset - not a set of values statements or engagement activities. At the same time, they are grappling with declining engagement scores, increasing manager load, hybrid tensions and the need to balance human judgement with data driven decision making.

What to expect on the day

This full day, insight packed conference bringing together CPOs, HRDs and people, culture and transformation leaders to explore how high performing organisations are responding to these challenges in practice.

Redesigning leadership and operating models

Image

Embedding culture as a growth and risk lever

Image

Using people data more intelligently

Image

Navigating AI, hybrid work and constant change

Image

Building organisations that are both human centred and commercially focused

This is a practical, senior level forum designed to move beyond theory and surface the real decisions, trade-offs and tensions leaders are facing - and how they are addressing them.

Keynote Speaker: HR 3.0 Pioneer and Globally Recognised Organisational Futurist, Perry Timms

Session Title & Outline: “Culture in Motion: Building Polymorphic Organisations for a World That Won’t Stand Still"
As markets shift faster, technologies accelerate, and workforce expectations evolve in real time, many organisations are discovering that culture can no longer be treated as a static set of values, behaviours, or engagement initiatives. The organisations that will thrive in the coming decade are those able to adapt shape, rhythm, capability, and collaboration dynamically - without losing coherence, trust, or humanity.

About the Speaker: Perry Timms is an internationally recognised workplace futurist, organisational theorist, and founder of PTHR, one of the world’s leading self-managed consultancies. A 3x author, TEDx speaker, LinkedIn Learning instructor, and Visiting Fellow at multiple business schools, Perry’s work explores the future of organisations, culture, leadership, and human systems.

His work on HR 3.0, Organisational Oscillation, and Polymorphic Organisations is helping leaders rethink how enterprises can become more adaptive, human-centred, and future-ready in conditions of constant complexity and change. In 2024, PTHR was recognised among the world’s Top 50 self-managed organisations by the Haier Z Institute, and Perry received a Lifetime Achievement Award from WorldBlu for his contribution to progressive workplace thinking.

Position your brand where your target audience are most engaged

Your workplace culture will never be a fait accompli. It is constantly evolving, and it is particular to your organisation. Business Culture Award entries capture those steps taken on your ongoing culture journey. You need to have achieved a measurable impact, but it’s the end of the chapter, not of the book.

"Businesses forget about culture and ultimately they suffer for it because you can’t have good service from unhappy employees.”Tony Hsieh, Former CEO Zappos
