How to Beat Cynicism and Regain Trust

09:15 – 10:00 · Wednesday, Nov 5

Keynote

In the age of AI and increasing economic uncertainty, does digital leadership feel like a fool’s errand? Maybe so, if you’re chasing digital glitter rather than delivering the things people need.

When most marketing falls flat, people need instincts, information, and organizations they can trust. But cynicism undermines trust—and when everything about our industry is up in the air, it’s easy to be cynical. Cynicism erodes confidence and trust both inside and outside your organization. We’ll discuss the three key elements of visual and verbal communication that digital leaders employ to foster trust.

With examples in retail, publishing, government, and other industries, you’ll discover how to rebuild trust in your brand—and your audience as well.

Revisiting Psychological Safety and Strategy: Redefining the Employee Experience for the Age of AI

10:30 – 12:00 · Wednesday, Nov 5

Psychological safety is often misunderstood: it’s not about comfort, but about creating conditions where people can contribute, experiment, and make sense of complexity without fear of unfair consequence.

This interactive talk explores how psychological safety intersects with strategy in organizations adapting to AI.

Drawing on the liquid organization, we show how work itself defines structure, strategy scaffolds collective action, and AI amplifies coordination and insight without replacing human judgment.

Participants will gain a practical view of future organisational dynamics and the urgency to configure collaborative structures that unlock strategic agility at scale.

Human first, brand second

13:00 – 13:45 · Wednesday, Nov 5

Employer branding isn’t about flashy perks or polished slogans – it’s about authenticity, emotion, and connection.

In a world where talent seeks meaning and new generations come with high demands and expectations, companies must go beyond corporate facades and create brands that people genuinely relate to, and want to invest their personal energy and hours in.

This session explores how to build an employer brand that resonates on a human level – of course with a business perspective hidden in there somewhere;)
Case examples include Austrian Airlines and KONE.

How we work with the employee experience at Stibo Systems

15:15 – 16:00 · Wednesday, Nov 5

At Stibo Systems, employee experience is about creating space for growth, connection, and well-being in a fast-changing world. We’ve built a culture of reinvention, always asking: How can we do this better?

Our foundation-owned model lets us invest in people through initiatives like MindFUL Days – two paid days for rest – and MindFUEL Days, focused on learning and inspiration.

We also embrace new technologies like AI and create opportunities for employees to experiment and grow.

When employees feel energized and supported, they can innovate, collaborate, and help shape the future of data management.

Of course, it’s not all perfect. One of our ongoing challenges is engaging our remote workforce – about 10% of our employees – and ensuring they feel just as connected to our culture as those in our offices.

Join for an honest and open conversation about how to truly make the employee experience better.
