CGOV.17:2 - Problem

A code, training session or stored board pack can help transmit a practice, but each leaves open what recipients can do with it. They may reproduce the form while losing the reasoning that made it useful. They may understand the method but lack access to information, time for the work or conditions for expressing an independent judgement.

Corporate authority introduces another difficulty. A specialist can supply an analysis while a director retains a duty to deliberate; an association can recommend a procedure while the company retains its own adoption powers. Substituting one contribution for the other can preserve visible activity while losing the required corporate work.

Calling every such failure “culture” conceals the repair. Repeating training cannot restore inaccessible information. Publishing a new code cannot establish performance. Replacing the whole arrangement can discard useful practice that remained available.
