Building and Maintaining Culture for High-Performing Teams

"Building and Maintaining Culture for High-Performing Teams” tackles culture not as fluffy rhetoric, but as the backbone of sustained excellence. Our panellists will share how they establish values, embed them into daily life, and keep them alive during growth, disruption, and digital transformation. A special focus will be on how AI is shifting cultural dynamics: enabling real-time insight, nudging behaviours, introducing new ethical questions, and rebalancing power among teams. Expect stories, challenges, and principles you can carry straight into your organisation.

Key Discussion Points

• The founding moments: how to intentionally seed culture (vision, norms, rituals)
• Sustaining trust, psychological safety, and accountability as teams scale or shift
• Embedding feedback, learning, and adaptive rhythm as culture layers evolve
• The role of AI in culture: opportunities, risks, and design (e.g. sentiment analysis, nudges, bias, explainability)
• Resilience through change: culture in times of crisis, merge, or disruption
