But the harder question is how to shape it. Culture is not what is written on a values poster - it is what people do when no one is watching.</p><p>In this episode, Amanda and Kenza explore why culture is the single most important lever in any AI transformation and how to move it deliberately. They discuss how a clear strategic vision needs to reach every level of the organization, why middle management deserves far more attention than it typically receives, and how to build a genuine learning culture where experimentation is encouraged and mistakes are not punished.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p><ul><li>Culture is not the values on the lobby wall.
