Duke CE #1 in Financial Times Again

Duke Corporate Education (Duke CE) has been ranked the world’s #1 provider of custom executive education, according to the 11 May 2009 edition of the Financial Times. This is the seventh consecutive year that Duke CE has taken top honors, as well as earning first place marks in eight of 16 categories.

"It is an honor to receive this recognition for the seventh year in a row, not only for us, but for our clients who continue to raise the bar for corporate education in their own companies,” said CEO Kim Taylor-Thompson.

The Financial Times conducts surveys of executives in client organizations, using the responses to compile the final rankings, and Taylor-Thompson was quick to thank Duke CE’s clients. “We wouldn’t be here without them – they offer us the opportunity to work as thought partners on critical business issues and to make learning an effective strategic lever,” she said.

Taylor-Thompson also praised Duke CE’s top-ranked global network of educators, more than 800 of whom have taught in programs.

Duke CE has also been ranked #1 three consecutive times in BusinessWeek’s biennial survey (2003, 2005, 2007).
