Corporate University
Process Management

Corporate university design is at the core of innovation.
G-ACUA can provide world-class management support for the creation of a corporate university or academy that will lead to growth and strategic development and release individual potential and organisational capability.

Design of Process

Our total project development has been designed to combine known best practice, models and toolkits with the strategic vision and practical ideas of company management. This methodology has proved to be robust and highly interactive in nature and importantly, helps to start the process of engagement and knowledge exchange which are fundamental objectives.

The Blueprint dynamic interactive process is introduced gradually in order that participants in its use can acquire good skills in its application.

Supplementary Knowledge Resources

G-ACUA knowledge resources can be made available for participants as required, including:

• Learning-to-learn process management

• Team profiling

• Excellence model framework

• Selection of corporate university/academy websites for reference purposes

• Key literature resources

• Work-based demand-led curriculum templates

Methodology

This Corporate University or Academy development project is structured around 3 x 1-week in-company visits:

We can provide the best practice knowledge and capabilities to support the Corporate University or Academy creation and development:

• The Blueprint Framework Model

• Professional Consultancy Network

• Academy Team Selection and Management  

• Best practice information base

• An world-class international database to assist with researching, planning and problem solving

As a result of the work programme defined above, the Corporate University or Academy will achieve people, organisation and strategic benefits in the following areas:

•  We will provide the underpinning knowledge and toolkits for an independent and sustainable entity with a comprehensive structure, having effective leadership and performance measurement systems.
   

• Defining and publicising how everyone will have access to and benefit from quality learning and continuing personal and professional development opportunities; managing expectations and timescales.
   

• The Corporate University or Academy brand will aim to attract alliances with top education and training providers and raise both the corporate profile and its attraction as a company of first choice to work for.
   

• The whole development will be professionally established, resourced and administered with top level personnel recruitment and management as part of a career strand.
   

• Database procedures will capture new learning, formal and informal, as a means of knowledge transfer and the comparing, contrasting and sharing of experience.
   

• Data on national and international opportunities will be captured and the implications for strategic alliances with business schools and universities, new learning programmes and individual development will be assessed.
   

• Company information and e-library services will be enhanced to provide support services for all training and development programmes and informal real-time learning.
   

• There are many people who can support individual and group learning activities e.g. mentors, coaches, study buddies, career advisers, etc. This programme will raise the visibility of these practices and establish effective learning support strands for all participants in Corporate University or Academy activities.
   

• This infrastructure will be designed to maximise the benefits to strategic business units (SBUs) and will include a review of e-learning infrastructure and practice
   

• The impact of environment factors, regulatory standards and key corporate social responsibility development challenges will become embedded in learning and development processes.
   

• A review of the current programme portfolio in technology, education and learning programmes will be carried out in relation to future strategic learning needs.
   

• Curriculum for training and development programmes can be designed for internal demand-led learning to ensure that key learning events are captured by individuals from their strategic and ‘doing business today’ experiences.  
   

• New learning requirements will be identified to enable growth and development strategies.
   

• The development and spread of quality assurance competencies and key learning skills will be properly formalised in corporate academy management activities.
   

• Policies for internal and external learning accreditation will be established. A regime of awards in recognition of internal learning performance and business contribution will be established in addition to any external accreditation.
   

• New learning involves innovations and new knowledge with the potential of competitive advantage. Processes will be established to secure sensitive information whilst using it to its best advantage.
