What is the Board-Level Cultural Transformation Practice course about?
Traditional compliance focuses on controls and audits, yet repeated breaches and ethical lapses show that rules alone aren't enough. The real challenge lies beneath: the unspoken norms, decision-making habits, and leadership cues that shape behavior. Without a way to diagnose and influence culture, even the most diligent officers hit a ceiling in impact.
