Culture as the Foundation: Building a High-Performance Board

Join the New England and Minnesota Chapters to discuss NACD’s most recent Blue Ribbon Report, Culture as the Foundation. We are lucky to have four of the report’s commissioners lead the discussion.  

Culture as the Foundation: Building a High-Performing Board defines how a robust board culture is key to helping directors meet rising expectations for board and individual directors’ performance. 

The report sets out 10 recommendations and provides proven approaches and practical tools to help boards elevate their actions, processes, and composition to build and sustain a high-performance board culture. 

This resource can help your board: 

Reveal cultural norms impacting your board’s interactions, relationship with management, and decision-making 

• Clarify the “culture carriers” to reinforce, and, when needed, change, the board’s culture. 
• Thread culture-strengthening processes into existing board operations. 
• Assess major cultural fault lines such as board silos and problematic directors.
