Develop: Clearing Friction & Building Clarity: Decision-Making, Conduct, & the Generational Dimension

11:30 am - Wednesday 7th October 2026

This interactive Q&A explores two distinct but connected challenges: the structural friction created by unclear decision-making in complex organizations, and the cultural friction created by generational divides in conduct and expectations.

Both slow execution and eroded trust demand active HR intervention. Participants will examine what these challenges have in common, and where they require fundamentally different approaches.

  • How do you diagnose whether your organization’s execution problems are structural (unclear decisions) or cultural (misaligned expectations)?
  • What tools or frameworks best help teams develop shared decision language across organizational levels?
  • How do you build a conduct framework that is clear and consistent while genuinely accounting for generational difference?
  • Where do decision-making clarity and generational culture challenges most often intersect, and how do you address both at once?
