Corporate University Context
To establish or maintain a Corporate University
that effectively meets the needs of the
business, organizations must define the CU’s
purpose, choose an appropriate model, ensure
it serves business unit and strategic needs,
balance L&D needs across the company, and
evaluate the CU’s return and its
offerings…..continuously.
-Corporate Executive Board, 2007
Define the Purpose of the CU
Questions to answer:
1. What is the underlying problem we are trying to solve with a CU?
2. What are the outcomes we should expect?
3. What will a CU do that an L&D function does not?
4. What benefits does a CU offer to the corporate business strategy?
5. What is the specific purpose and role of the CU within the
organization?
6. What is the long-term vision and strategy of the organization and
the CU?
7. How will this vision steer decision making?
8. What population with the university serve? (employee, cust, part)

• What’s in it for me?
• Degrees are now part of promotion criteria
• “other” training counts-outside of formal LMS material
• Individuals and managers are being tracked in Perf Mngmt
• Professor program counts-meaning more people are asking to
deliver training
• They have an active say in the program via their SU Council rep
• Support wide recognition-they make a big deal of it!
Individual Drivers
• Leadership buy-in
• Map to definable metrics
• What is the value for all employees in stakeholder group?
• What are the real issues (root cause)? What is the
“need”?
• What do you want your end results to look like?
• Form a pilot team
• Continually re-evaluate (during development, at rollout,
beyond)
• Does the framework work? How do you determine
success?
• Create a “council” of global individual contributors as
advocates and to provide avenues for continuous
Lessons Learned-Best Practices
Takeaways
• Research, read, reach out
• Define expected outcomes
• Get Executive Support
• Identify the model
• Demand: competency model, Dean, working team
• Establish College specific goals and measurements

• Simplify
• Continuously modify based on changing business needs
