Global Opportunities and Challenges for Corporate Universities Lee Caldwell Gulf University for Science and Technology
Context • 1993 – 400 Corporate Universities • 2001 – 2,000 Corporate Universities • Today – 10,000 More globally based
Professional Context • University professor, dean, VP and President • VP – IBM – Internet Strategy 1995 to 1999 • VP/CTO – HP 1999 to 2002. Served on the enterprise workforce development board of directors overseeing all training and development activities at HP
Changes • Program Content • Business Specific Skills • Organizational Learning and Communications • Sales and Customer Relationships • Compliance • Management and Executive Training
Providers • More concentration in technology companies ranging from $2 billion to $12.5 billion per year. • More shift to on-line and mixed models. • Learning Management Systems are essential for maintaining compliance records. • More shifts to global standards and models.
Sample HP Budget 2002 • Total Workforce development budget $400 million. • 85% compliance training • Health and safety • Product development concerns • Securities training • 5% general leadership, sales training, etc. • 1% executive development • 2.5% ($10 million) Tuition reimbursement
Making Things Work • Understand compliance environment • Support the LMS environment of the corporation. • Custom fit services need to be provided. • Risks: Corporate universities tend to set the present into concrete. Modern companies are constantly challenged to invent the future. I have seen no successful models developed by corporate universities to address this issue.
