Value creation and corporate culture: “With a clear understanding of the company’s values and fundamentals underpinning the culture, as well as a focus on customers, directors are poised to provide strategic insight and collaborative support for value creation. Private company owners and management teams benefit from board members’ independent experiences and their perspectives as seasoned partners to navigate headwinds, mitigate risk and recognize value creation opportunities. Commitment to fostering sustainable growth and cultivating a vibrant corporate culture are cornerstones of governance excellence. A shared mission and purpose that champion transparency, accountability and agility accelerate business performance and foster a culture that empowers the organization — and a strong governance framework supports this.”
