This is Duke CE’s fourth consecutive top rating in the magazine’s biennial survey of corporate learning professionals across industries – 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009.

“It is a humbling honor to receive this recognition since it is based on survey feedback from clients,” said CEO Kim Taylor-Thompson. “The economic crisis presented us with the opportunity to rethink approaches and ways that we can enable learning to be even more relevant and accessible, and this is an amazing example of what occurs when you combine focused teamwork with deep collaboration. We will continue to work hard at being a good partner.”

Duke CE has also been No. 1 for eight consecutive years in the Financial Times.
