Description

‘Culture eats strategy for breakfast.’ After focusing on strategy, companies are increasingly concerned about managing their corporate culture, which is crucial to the successful implementation of their strategy. But what is corporate culture? What role is the Board expected to play in this simultaneously conceptual and practical matter? How can the Board really change, improve or sustain culture? What are the biases and obstacles that the Board encounters? These are some of the many questions that this session will attempt to explore in relation to the Board's role in corporate culture.
