Corporate University, a unique strategic and operational lever for solving critical issues in our disrupted world and for seizing development opportunities

Half inside, half outside their parent organisation, Corporate Universities are now probably one of the most fundamental parts of the business to solve issues and seize development opportunities that governments and non-governmental organisations are unfortunately not able to face anymore.

Corporate Universities have acquired extensive experience in supporting transformations. They are pragmatic, highly skilled and have resources and technologies that give them significant power to act. Open to the world, they are at the forefront of societal transformations: the growing individualism of people riveted to their smartphones on social networks with the critical ideologies and fake news they convey, the emergence of community identity claims, the failure and decline in the level of education systems as well as of the fragmentation of our world under the blows of senseless geopolitics that erect walls instead of bridges, war instead of peace, etc.

Corporate Universities are, of course, the first to be affected by technological and scientific innovations that they help to popularise, including today’s artificial intelligence, which is both a fascinating revolution full of promise and also fraught with risks for humanity. Finally, as they are near to the general management and operations of their Organisation, they are aware of the impact of global warming on their ecosystem, and while some are fully committed to the battle, others are still only making tentative breakthroughs.

As GlobalCCU was founded to unite the profession on a global scale, our 20 years’ experience gives us the opportunity and legitimacy of a unique perspective that we wish to share with as many Corporate University practitioners as possible as well as with partners that work with them, to really fully understand the evolution of what was an obscure concept perhaps 30-40 years ago, to the fact that it is now a powerful strategic and operational lever in many countries in the world. 

What will happen to them in 2025? We will eagerly listen to the rich responses offered by experienced Corporate University directors, who will help us reflect on this question and through discussions between the delegates.

Objectives of the session

• To update the representation of what a Corporate University is from the beginning of their history which was a HR support to reproduce the managerial sociological order and integrate new employees, to what they have become today, powerful levers of transformation serving business, people, society and the planet.
• To foster an intercultural debate on the sociological, technological, economic, climatic and geopolitical upheavals of our world, and to identify the responsibilities Corporate Universities can support, why and how, with the pros and cons
• To identify the challenges of this new insight and the new knowledge to be created and transmitted into the corporate leadership structures and to identify the resources and skill sets necessary to help leaders and employees to feel more comfortable within unknown and threatening environments, and understanding what it means for them

AI/GAI, a game changer for Corporate Universities

---

---

Corporate Universities are embarked on the Artificial Intelligence venture in full irruption all over the world. Companies and even state administrations, are rushing into it for different reasons, saving production costs; automation of tedious and repetitive tasks; cybersecurity; innovation; competitiveness, etc.

Artificial intelligence is a Janus god containing a huge promise that everything will become faster and better thanks to algorithms, the race to surpass human intelligence and the economic and geopolitical tug-of-war that this industrial revolution brings. On the dark side, there are many threats to our data, our mental health and our freedoms, which all educators – from parents and teachers from the academic world to those in Corporate Education – have a duty to investigate and prevent as far as possible. Doesn’t education fertilise the soil of the future world?

Corporate Universities are taking a closer look at the global technical shock that is Generative Artificial Intelligence. For the first time in human history, a machine can generate content (text, audio, images, video) better than humans and we can interact with a machine using our own natural language.

These spectacular innovations naturally have an impact on Corporate Universities. What is at stake, what is happening, what are the possible benefits and threats for them and their client system? There are significant challenges in forecasting the role of AI/GAI on the future of Corporate Universities regarding:
– Their understanding of the revolution underway and its impact on humankind and universal values
– Their own acculturation to the transformation underway
– Their own transformation
– The transformation of their parent organisation
– Their durability in the AI/GAI economy

OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION

• To better understand the AI/GAI revolution as a game-changer for Corporate Universities
• To discover the latest AI/GenAI applications for L&D Industry
• To learn from the outstanding Petrobras University in this field
• To explore the benefits of AI/GenAI for Corporate Universities to achieve their goals and enhance their efficiency, and its limits, constraints and risks
• To identify their role for helping People, Business, Society and the Planet create value in the GAI revolution
