Our work is to bring Corporate University professionals together, both locally and globally.

Setting up a network in our interconnected world is hardly a major innovation. Anyone can subscribe to the Internet’s electronic networks; their aim is to bring together ideas and influence, but they don’t really connect real people and everything that defines their humanity. Corporate Education professionals, and particularly the heads of corporate universities, all occupy posts for which there are not many models that are transposable from one company to another, and even less so from one culture to another. However, they do need to be recognised for their accomplishments and competencies, which are generally remarkable. Putting them in contact with each other, enabling them to see each other physically, share their most innovative practices, questions, doubts, and ideas, and to collaborate on meaningful projects, will enable them to construct long-lasting and fruitful, trust-based relationships. One of the direct consequences of this will be to give them more visibility and evolution in their profession, which is extremely useful for these professionals in their relationships with their stakeholders. The 2008 GlobalCCU Forum, in April was a great start to this global network. We now want to move this a step forward. To construct a Global Community of Corporate University Professionals, a network of peers who can meet, if necessary, and help each other -a network that transcends borders and cultures, and reaches across continents.
