Event overview

In major transformations- from M&A integrations and restructuring to private equity buyouts – culture is often the decisive factor between successful execution and stalled strategy. While leaders recognise its importance, many struggle with what can feel like a nebulous concept and underestimate how culture must be defined, activated, and managed to match the pace and ambition of change.

This session will cut through the complexity, offering a practical roadmap for defining and activating culture as a driver of business performance.

Through an interactive dialogue, we will

Share a clear perspective on how to define and activate culture to drive execution and performance.
Explore six common pitfalls in cultural transformation; and the alternative moves that enable success.
Bring real-world insights from recent culture transformations to show what works (and what doesn’t).
Facilitate peer discussions on how culture can accelerate or derail critical moments – from aligning leadership during mergers to maintaining accountability during restructuring.

You’ll leave with practical tools, a proven framework for connecting culture to business performance, and the confidence to influence culture during high-stakes transformation.
