Sets the Industry Standard

Written for Training Professionals and Executives, this book will help you to start a corporate university and understand the relevant industry issues. In the world of Training and Development, this book is extremely well organized and insightful, well written, and the one book everyone seems to have read. Corporate Universities is written for a general audience and practical in orientation. Meister supplies the information and best practices you need to succeed. She provides detailed guidance on how to align your training to the business goals of your organization, develop learning alliances with local universities, use technology to transform learning from a just in case to a just in time model, effectively communicate the value of training to executives and turn training measurement into an active contributor to business strategy.

Very valuable resource

Companies seeking "quantum improvement" are usually so busy with change management, process reengineering, total quality, customer satisfaction, etc., that they either totally ignore or skimp on employee development. The book does an excellent job of providing the reader with everything from background material to corporate university models to curriculum issues. As a consultant to a Fortune 500 company involved in creating a sustained learning initiative, I found this book most valuable.

Book provides an excellent views about the corporate univ.

Coming era is very rightly termed as the era of globlisation and competitiveness. The book very clearly explains about the concept of corporate university in this context.
