KEYNOTE TOPIC #3

Forget Company Culture, Fix Your Work Operating System Instead

The pressure to create a great “company culture” is everywhere. Leaders are told it’s the secret to attracting top talent, sparking innovation, and retaining key players. But despite endless articles, consultants, and culture surveys… most teams are still stuck. The vibe feels off. Engagement is low. And no one really knows what’s causing the disconnect.

Here’s the truth: “culture” is confusing and misunderstood.

Which is why the most effective leaders focus on something else: their work operating system.

Just like the OS on your phone determines how everything runs, your work OS silently shapes how people collaborate, make decisions, and get things done. And if that system is outdated, clunky, or draining? No amount of food trucks or free snacks will fix it.

In this provocative and energizing keynote, leadership futurist Josh Allan Dykstra reveals why great cultures don’t come from hype — they come from systems built to support Human Energy™. You’ll learn how to upgrade your team’s invisible OS to unlock better collaboration, clearer decisions, and a culture that becomes the envy of all.

YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE KNOWING HOW & WHY TO:
  • Diagnose Your Work OS – Learn to spot the hidden systems shaping your team’s behavior: how work flows, how decisions get made, and where energy gets lost. You can’t fix what you can’t see.
  • Design for Energy, Not Control – Shift from rigid rules and legacy processes to systems that prioritize flow, clarity, and autonomy. Energizing systems create cultures people actually want to be part of.
  • Rebuild Culture From the Inside Out – Stop chasing vibes. When your operating system works, the culture takes care of itself—naturally attracting the right people and amplifying your strategic advantage.
