The company I work for has done extensive research on these topics. We
have published a research report, "Survey of Corporate University Future
Directions" which highlites 120 corporate universities, including specific
"best Practice" models on about half a dozen. Most of the 120
corporations/public sector organizations surveyed have either a CLO who is
on level with the CFO/COO. Sometimes the title is not CLO, but the level
of seniority within the organization is still the same. This report has a
great deal of information, including a compensation survey of
CLO's/Dean's.
Additionally, we facilitate an exclusive group, the CLO Xchange. (Some
members are private sector while others public, and they range from
manufaturing to technology to healthcare to government and lots
in-between.) Anyone wanting more information on the research report or
this group may feel free to visit our website at www.corpu.com or e-mail
me privately. The executive summary or the research report is on the
website.
