The Culture Carrier Roundtable was created in 2010 in order to preserve and develop the existing entrepreneurial culture of First Republic Bank within a context of continued growth. Employees from various geographies, roles, and tenure are invited to participate in a series of discussions and exercises led by college professors and subject matter experts.
The Culture Carrier Roundtable was developed with five specific objectives:
• Develop a shared understanding of how First Republic’s entrepreneurial culture, which was built on empowerment of the individual and a strong sense of personal responsibility, has shaped its success and growth.
• Develop and "out of the box" view of what the financial services industry may look like in coming years.
• Discover and create ways that each individual can contribute to nurturing the entrepreneurial culture within the organization as it continues to grow in the future.
• Task Culture Carriers with bringing the ideas and objectives of the Roundtable back to their teams and offices.
