Forget Company Culture — Fix Your Operating System Instead
The pressure to create great “company culture” can feel overwhelming. We know our culture needs to be top notch to attract the best talent, retain key players, and generate innovative ideas. But do we actually know what to do to make our culture amazing?
Instead of focusing on “culture,” leaders of the most amazing work environments focus on something else entirely — their work operating system (OS). And the very best focus on creating an Energy-Based Operating System (ebOS), where the entire workplace structure unlocks maximum capacity and energy for every worker, no matter their role or title.
In this fresh and counter-intuitive keynote, global Human Energy™ expert Josh Allan Dykstra shows us how to create the most energizing and rewarding culture imaginable… by not focusing on ”culture” at all.

- A simple exercise any leader or manager can use to begin upgrading their work OS within their sphere of influence, from the team to organizational level
- The ebOS (Energy-Based Operating System) Canvas — a highly powerful tool for clarifying and upgrading your workplace OS, and organizing it to optimize Human Energy
- The step-by-step playbook for how Josh’s company #lovework implemented an ebOS
3 Ways To Create Innovative People Ops In The World Of A.I.

As we step into a new era of business, our people operations are in desperate need of innovation. OpenAI research indicates that around 80% of U.S. workers will see at least part of their job impacted by GPTs. And while nearly 70% of H.R. and business leaders optimistically believe AI could simplify their roles, they also say they lack the necessary skills and knowledge to maximize its potential…!
We are experiencing a people ops crisis, and we must embrace new principles to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
In this timely and high-impact keynote, global Human Energy™ expert Josh Allan Dykstra will teach you a simple but revolutionary way to bring a new lens to the way your organization approaches people ops, helping you thrive in uncertainty and ensure powerful relevancy.

Why A.I. Is Not The Future
CATEGORIES: Artificial Intelligence, Change, People Operations, Future Of Work, Technology, Collaboration, Creativity, Innovation, Productivity, Complexity
As Artificial Intelligence continues to infiltrate our organizations, it’s time for leaders to take a step back and reevaluate. While A.I. will undoubtedly transform many aspects of our work-lives, the future of work we want — and the innovation we need — lies beyond the confines of algorithms and machines.
Contrary to the prevailing narrative, the true future of progress is inherently human. Over-reliance on A.I. will simply exacerbate our current challenges of communication, alignment, and collaboration across the remote and hybrid working environments we are still struggling to navigate effectively.
In this insightful and thought-provoking session, global Human Energy™ expert Josh Allan Dykstra artfully dissects the limitations of A.I. and highlights the irreplaceable qualities of human ingenuity, empathy, and creativity to illuminate a better path for how we can utilize A.I. thoughtfully, powerfully — and safely — for all.
ATTENDEES LEARN:
- An in-depth analysis of A.I.’s capabilities and limitations
- A clear understanding of why the human element remains crucial in driving meaningful and sustainable change
- The 3 keys to harness each person’s unique strengths to help navigate the complexities of the modern world
- A simple framework for knowing exactly how and where to incorporate A.I. tools in your team, no matter your team’s function or focus
