GlobalCCU Membership Community

The GlobalCCU Membership Community is a true worldwide circle of Corporate University / Academy / Centre for Excellence practitioners interacting online regularly; a convivial circle of peers who learn from each other whatever their differences and activity sectors; a factory for strategists who envision a bright future for Learning and Development without borders in a complex, multipolar, paradoxical, digitized and changing world; a unique growing ecosystem of knowledge, experience, expertise, research-action, co-creation, innovation, recognition and influence at the global scale!

Members from around the world are benchmarking and going forward with their peers, finding the right solutions to their challenges and hot topics, discovering pioneering topics and new ways of working, enlarging their strategic thinking and making their voices heard.

What makes the GlobalCCU Membership Community a must have?

Open to Corporate University and L&D practitioners from around the world, the purpose of this dynamic annual programme is to support a global community of peers who want to work together to share their experience, who trust, advise, support and challenge each other, to access and produce knowledge and content for concrete solutions and recognition.

Experience

• Deep interactions in a close circle of known members which supersedes superficiality or the sole purpose of communication, expressing your needs, questions, doubts and sharing your return on experience with them, in a trustful atmosphere without any competition between members.
• Learning from the experience of your peers which belong to the Corporate University community, to evaluate, through discussion and debates, the opportunity, or not, to implement their best practices in your own context, to nurture the strategy and the management of your Corporate University, an experience that cannot be bought in the market.
• Humanly speaking, not to be isolated or overwhelmed facing your short and long-term issues or your local and global projects in the uncertain environment where we now work.

Knowledge

• Access to new knowledge of your peers worldwide and to the renowned framework of reference of GlobalCCU.
• Engagement in a corpus of knowledge that will make your voice heard pragmatically and efficiently in the anticipation of the future of Corporate Education and Learning & development activity sector.

Solutions

• Grasp of new ideas to launch projects not previously thought of that will improve the performance of your Corporate University.
• Advice and guidance from your peers and experts to solve your hot topics and main strategic issues thanks to the strategic and pragmatic support of the Community without any exchange of money with them.
• Identification and reinforcement of the strengths of your Corporate University to solve problems facing your Organisation and participation in the recognition of Corporate Universities as a true vital lever for People, Business, Society and the Planet.

Recognition

• Valorisation of your outstanding best practices and your strategic thinking, of your capacity to help and guide your peers and proof of your creation of value for your governance.
• Capital management of your team to a new level of development and the opportunity for them to receive a GlobalCCU Membership Community certificate of participation.
• Promotion of your Corporate University brand and your Corporate Brand, to peers participating in the programme and other stakeholders.

This unique global and interactive learning community-driven experience designed for Corporate University leaders ready to grow and elevate their impact on the People they care for, the business of their Organisation they actively support, the Society they contribute to help and solve issues, and also the planet that needs Corporate education’s support to help resolve its climatical urgency.

How does it work?

The annual Membership Community includes three main activities and Opening and Closing events delivered online:

1. Introductory Masterclass

CUs go forward with CUs

• An introductory plenary Masterclass to be delivered at the beginning of the programme in orderto align all the members with the GlobalCCU Framework of Reference and provide them a first interactive experience
• The purpose is to understand how the strategic positioning of a Corporate University is essential for the team itself and its client-system and how and why it is important to define and communicate it; to learn how to better drive your Corporate University/L&D structure to make it more powerful and influential for your internal and external stakeholders, efficient and performant for your client system, innovative and attractive for its beneficiaries, agile and durable for your governance authorities and your team; to be equipped with renowned and extensive Corporate University knowledge and the latest know-how recognised internationally.

2. Corporate University best practices and “I need/I can help” workshops (face-to-face)

CUs learn from CUs

• The workshops are intensive journeys focused on sharing innovative best innovative practice nuggets from the members, organised around the following themes: People, Business, Culture, Corporate University Strategic & Operational efficiency, Society, Technologies, Ecological environment, and listening to the ‘I need/ I can help’ subjects shared by the members to guide them  to the most efficient and pragmatic solution possible and to ways of development.
• The purpose of those workshops is to learn from the experiences of each other, to nurture the strategy and the management of their Corporate University, to evaluate the opportunity whether to implement these best practices in their own context or not; to provide an unmissable workspace and an indispensable source of exchange for the members in solving their true issues thanks to the strategic and pragmatic support of the Community.
