Corporate governance continues to evolve driven by high-performing boards, new standards, and evolving stakeholder expectations.

  1. State of purpose adoption by corporations
  2. Link between purpose and strategy
  3. Board oversight of purpose 
  4. Role of purpose in board education and recruitment
