4:45 PM Boardroom A: Culture unseen: The Silent Driver of Trust, Teams and Transformation

Every organisation is investing in skills, leadership development, and increasingly AI-enabled learning ecosystems. Yet whether these efforts translate into real behaviour change and performance depends on what is often invisible: culture.

For learning leaders, culture is less about values and engagement, and more about the behavioural operating system that determines whether people adopt new skills, collaborate across functions, experiment with AI, and apply learning in real work. It shapes curiosity, trust, collaboration, and the speed at which transformation takes root - not just for CLOs, but for the leaders, managers, and teams they enable.
In this roundtable, we will explore how culture reveals itself during transformation, how meta-skills build the human edge in an AI workplace, and what it takes to create conditions where new capabilities become new behaviors and not just new training.
