Patty McCord, Principal, Patty McCord Consulting

Patty McCord created Netflix’s famous, precedent-setting culture deck. In the opening keynote to Culturati Summit 2018, Patty will tell us what she learned writing her new book Powerful, which arrives in stores just before we convene in Austin. Patty will explain how and why the old standbys of corporate HR ― namely, annual performance reviews, retention plans, employee empowerment and engagement programs ― too often waste precious time and resources, despite our best intentions. How can we build high-performing, powerful cultures based on freedom and responsibility?
