Incorporated 1 July 2000 as a carve-out of the custom executive education practice of Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, we are now a separate entity from Fuqua.

We are a not-for-profit support corporation for Duke University.  Our board is comprised of our CEO Michael Canning; former CEO Blair Sheppard, the dean of the Fuqua School of Business; Peter Lange, the provost of Duke University; Tallman Trask, executive vice president Duke University; Gregory Jones, vice provost Duke University; and William Boulding, deputy dean Fuqua School.

Currently 125 spread among our offices in the USA (Durham, NC; New York, NY; Carlsbad, CA); Johannesburg, South Africa; London, England; and Ahmedabad, India.

Our Global Learning Resource Network draws on a pool of over 3,000 educators from 25 different countries.  More than 900 educators have taught in our programs to date. 

Revenue for our fiscal year ending June 2011 was US$48 Million

We have delivered custom programs at numerous sites in 63 different countries across six continents.  They may be small or very large in scale, in many iterations, in several languages, covering a few to thousands of participants, with complex logistical requirements.  Our educator network and our affiliations with universities provide our clients with both a local deliverable and global consistency. 

We empower our clients to implement their strategy through development of their people.  Put another way, we develop individuals within the context of building the organization’s capabilities, focusing education on what a company’s people need to know, do, and believe in order to address real-world challenges and attain specific business objectives.
