Can a better understanding of A.I. help us create a stronger, more human workplace? Absolutely… if we start with the right foundation. A.I. doesn’t “drive” organizations, “envision” futures, or “inspire” teams… humans do. While A.I. tools are powerful, their effectiveness depends entirely on the systems, culture, and energy of the people who use them.
The 3 Keys will show you how to leverage A.I. while building an amazing work environment. By the end of this session, you’ll have the clarity and confidence to lead your organization into an A.I.-powered future, grounded in the energy and brilliance of the people who make it possible.

Forget Company Culture, Fix Your WORK 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,” great leaders prioritize their work operating system (OS). Just like the OS on a device, our work OS silently guides how teams interact, collaborate, and make decisions — setting the standards for what’s possible. And the VERY best leaders focus on making their OS energizing.
In this fresh and counter-intuitive keynote, organizational change expert Josh Allan Dykstra shows us how to create the most energizing and rewarding culture imaginable… by not focusing on “culture” at all.
