Cultivating board culture for excellence and impact

LIVE Webinar

Cultivating board culture for excellence and impact

Cultivating an effective boardroom culture is essential for building trust, creating a psychologically safe environment, and enabling the board to deliver excellence for the organisation. Creating an effective boardroom culture is no longer a ‘nice to do’, but a requirement for meeting work health and safety obligations and duty of care.

Board culture challenges come in many forms, and the impact can be devastating.

misalignment of purpose and desired outcomes
passion for purpose vs strategic priorities
control vs inclusion
inexperience vs skills and capabilities
bias and assumption vs open-mindedness,
and failure to uphold and role model the organisation’s culture and values.

The impact of your board culture, good or bad, will impact your board members and flow through the organisation. It will show up positively or negatively in trust, wellbeing, confidence, alignment, engagement, and effort.

Don’t miss this session where nothing is off limits. Culture expert, Georgia Henry, will share insights from her experience and strategies for overcoming culture challenges in the boardroom.
