About the Panel Discussion
Culture is something we experience every day, often without noticing it. It is shaped by how leaders behave, what organisations reward or tolerate, and how people respond to one another when things get difficult.
But what happens when culture goes wrong? And as AI changes how we work, learn and build experience, while different generations bring different expectations into the workplace, what will hold us together?
This panel explores the human side of workplace culture — how we create it, how we sometimes damage it, and how it may need to evolve for the workplace ahead.
