Welcome, today is

I created the European Club of Corporate Universities in 2002 when I finished my international survey on Corporate Universities. This organisation will start its seventh year in September 2008 with very famous multinational companies. It is an influential network of heads of Corporate Universities, academies and institutes of France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, and even Algeria. The members link together with their peers to share relevant themes, benchmark, learn from best practices, have long-term convivial exchanges, discover innovative new trends, share their questions, their doubts and successes, outside business pressure and without consulting firms. I am particularly pleased by the richness of this Club and the conviviality which exists between its members.

The ambitious undertaking I initiated four years ago is the result of requests from all over the world by people who wanted to join The European Club of Corporate Universities. The demanding work format of this organisation which functions very well with its five meetings per year, made it impossible to accept the membership of distant companies. Rapidly the CU Directors felt the necessity to create a link with their peers across the world and to have long-term convivial exchanges with them. It was therefore necessary to invent another form of collaborative work in keeping with the needs and constraints. It is the Council of Corporate Universities which I created with the support of several corporate university directors and academicians.
Founded in 2005, the Global Council of Corporate Universities (GlobalCCU) is a truly global community of Corporate University professionals. The 2008 GlobalCCU Forum has been a momentous meeting bringing together delegates from 24 countries from five continents. Never seen before in this industry!
The 16 Advisory Board Members from all continents are shaping the future of this Council with me, with energy and passion! For more information, visit www.globalccu.com
This global organisation links senior level members to their peers to support each other, share best and innovative practices, benchmark and exchange ideas based on the principles of co-learning, co-sharing, co-research and co-building for today’s and the next generation of Corporate Universities.
