Evidence of the relationship between strong culture and strong organizational performance is now incontrovertible. It is forcing many of us out of the darkness into a more progressive reality.

The focus of Culture as Governance and the Link With Performance: The Evolving Role of the Corporate Board is on culture at the board level and the link with performance. This is being defined as social-based governance. The social environment, or what can be described as culture, can be thought of as an informal system of governance.
