About this Event
Who really owns workplace culture? And who is accountable when it fails?
Host: , Change & Transformation Consultant
Organisations publish values, invest in leadership and ask for employee feedback. But are they turning commitment into action?
Following our first Unspoken Truth Executive Insights Report, we’re taking the conversation further.
THE UNSPOKEN TRUTH: FROM COMMITMENT TO ACCOUNTABILITY
Join senior leaders, executives, HR and People professionals, founders and managers for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about the realities of workplace culture.
We’ll challenge the status quo and explore five critical questions:
• Who really owns culture: the board, leaders or HR?
• What happens when employees speak up?
• Are managers accountable for the culture they create?
• Who gets heard, trusted and given opportunities?
• What does accountability look like when change requires courage?
Culture doesn’t change through statements and policies alone. It changes when commitment becomes action and accountability becomes everyone’s responsibility.
Ready to move beyond conversations to meaningful change?
WHAT TO EXPECT
The event will follow the Unspoken Truth format, combining research, lived experience and challenging executive conversation.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This event is designed for:
- CEOs, Founders and Managing Directors
- Board members and Non-Executive Directors
- Chief People Officers and HR Directors
- Senior leaders and executives
- People, Culture, DEI and Organisational Development professionals
- Business and transformation leaders
- Managers and emerging leaders
- Consultants, coaches and practitioners working in leadership, culture and organisational change
Whether you are leading a growing organisation, responsible for people and culture, managing teams or influencing organisational change, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about who owns culture, who has power and what accountability really looks like.
THE QUESTION WE WANT YOU TO LEAVE WITH
What is your organisation saying it values, and what does the evidence say people actually experience? Because culture is not created by what we say.
It is created by what we do, reward, tolerate, measure and choose to change.
Come ready to listen. Come ready to challenge. Come ready to tell the truth.
