In the early stages of a business, culture often forms by osmosis. Decisions are fast, communication is informal, and ways of working evolve organically. But as your team grows, what once felt natural can become messy, inconsistent or misaligned.

Values influence everything:

• How you hire
• How you make business decisions
• How you give feedback
• How you design roles, meetings and systems

You might already have values, but are they truly lived? And are they designed to take your business into the future?

In this reflective and hands-on session, Janine and Fran, co-founders of HappyHQ, a culture consultancy supporting growing businesses to build intentional and sustainable cultures, will explore how to move from conceptual values to practical, lived ones.

You will learn how to discover, define and embed values so they become your cultural operating system, not just words on a website.Expect tangible exercises, group discussion and practical prompts to help you clarify what your values actually mean in action.

What attendees will learn

• Why values often become vague, forgotten or performative as businesses grow
• How to define what a value really means in behavioural terms
• How to ensure your culture is built intentionally, not accidentally

Who this session is for

• Founders and co-founders
• Startup and scale-up leaders
• Team leads and people managers
• Anyone shaping culture in a growing business
