The Board’s Role in Corporate Culture

Modern management theorist Peter Drucker famously said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”, meaning that the best-formulated strategy will be difficult to achieve unless it’s aligned with the company’s culture. Boards should understand the company’s culture and its impact on strategy, operations and external elements. A well-defined corporate culture embraced throughout the organization can serve as a touchstone when addressing the challenges of global organizations, risk management, human capital, leadership and a host of other situations. During this webinar with Howard Brownstein and Angela Brock-Kyle, we will discuss:

  • Whether, when and/or how the board should consider corporate culture
  • Understanding where culture may be misaligned with strategy
  • Addressing cultural inconsistencies within the organization and across geographies
  • How to effect changes in culture when necessary
