Transforming Organizational Culture: Fueling Purpose, Enabling the Shift, and Driving “Who We Are and
What We Do”

Innovation, rapid change and business realignments require agility, dedication, and purpose. How do L&D
executives bring purpose to life? Connecting purpose to what employees accomplish every day is growing in
importance. People need to believe in what they are providing – their services and their work. Creating the
right culture that ignites organizational effectiveness by uniting employees, identifying driving forces and
enabling breakthroughs is vital to growth. Join this session to hear how and why our panelists are transforming
organizational culture. Hear how executives are:

• Uncovering the disconnect between previous or current company cultures
• Identifying the building blocks to spark effective culture shifts
• Developing concepts for a multidimensional workforce
• Earning support and employee buy-in for behavior changes, evolving mindsets and actionable results

Leadership development in today’s complex and volatile world continues to be a top challenge for enterprise organizations. While even the largest companies are modernizing development programs for leaders at all

and organizations need to rethink the right ways to match unconventional learning approaches with new environments. In this session, you will hear how organizations are successfully:

• Developing new leadership development experiences that ignite passion

Interactive Panel Discussion

Transforming Onboarding: How L&D is Improving the Onboarding Experience to Enhance Employee Development, Performance and Retention

Learning, whether it be about the company, job duties, performance expectations and more, no longer begins on day one of a new job. Today, potential employees want to learn as much as possible about potential
employers before onboarding even begins. However, how can learning leaders ensure new employees fully understand what they’re walking into and if it’s the right fit for them and the organization? Join this interactive
discussion to discover how leading organizations are addressing key onboarding issues through a learning lens. Join us to experience:

preparing for their next role. Hear how Dr. Mark Boccia is transforming the traditionally undocumented and tribal learning practices employed in the cruise industry and quickly elevating the learning experiences to
better prepare a low-skilled workforce representing more than 170 countries and cultures.
