In this era of uncertainty, transformation is "always on." As strategies pivot, sometimes overnight, adaptation has become a critical capability. Yet too many leaders still approach culture change as a programme with a beginning, middle, and end—while today's reality demands resilient cultures that learn, flex, and evolve continuously.

The opportunity? Creating high-performance organisations where culture is treated as a living system—one that drives sustainable success, whatever the future brings.

Join us for an exploration of adaptive cultures and what it takes to lead vital transformation in today's ever-shifting landscape.

We're marking 10 years of Dragonfish with an event designed to equip you with practical tools, fresh research insights, and peer perspectives to help your organisation evolve well.

What to Expect?

This informal, interactive, peer-to-peer gathering brings cross-sector leaders and changemakers together to exchange ideas, solutions, and perspectives on building more adaptive organisations and cultures.

Drawing on our experiences from a decade of client partnerships across sectors, our "Six Signatures of High-Performance Cultures" framework and latest C-suite transformation research, we'll explore how organisations are connecting the dots (strategy, people, brand, and customer) to thrive through constant change.

Through inspiring panels, provocative debates, and solutions-focused breakout sessions, we'll tackle the questions that matter:

The Adaptation Imperative: Why adapt? How can we link strategy and culture more effectively to support organisations that evolve well, whatever the future brings?
Leading Adaptive Cultures: What are the hallmarks of truly adaptive cultures? How can leaders build the mindset, capabilities, and confidence to thrive through uncertainty? How can HR/People teams think and work differently?
New Ways of Working: How can we translate frontier challenges like AI integration, sustainable high performance, and multi-generational workforces into opportunities for meaningful change?
Sustainable Evolution: How does the conventional approach to transformation need to change? How can nurturing high-performance, adaptive cultures help us create meaningful change and impact, and better futures for all?

Why attend?

Take time out to reflect deeply on your organisation's culture strategy.
