Roundtable Topic

Vision, Values and Culture in Tech Orgs

Technology organisations are built on more than just code and infrastructure - they thrive when guided by a clear vision, remain aligned using strong values and grow with a healthy culture. CTOs can't just focus on setting technical direction; it's about shaping teams and environments where innovation, collaboration and resilience can flourish. In this roundtable, we'll explore how vision-driven leadership and cultural clarity combined with meaningful values influence engineering excellence, talent retention and overall success. Together, we'll share strategies for embedding values into the daily work of technical teams and discuss the challenges of maintaining culture as organisations grow and evolve. Let's talk about: How do you translate company values into day-to-day practices within your teams? What do your teams know about the company vision and how their work contributes? What role does culture play in retaining top talent? How do you balance culture with the constant pressure to deliver? What have you found most effective in reinforcing values, especially during periods of rapid growth or change? Where have you seen misalignment between vision, values and culture create real challenges?
