A short article, The Seven Pillars of the Corporate University, originally published in February 2009.
In 1982, I graduated with my first degree: after a few months of casual work, as a barman, a builder's labourer and a film extra, I secured my first graduate job as an Information Project Manager with Motherwell District Libraries (1983-84) and this led to my first learning and development role at GCVS.
In 2000, I chose to leave Financial Times Management to pursue interests in knowledge management and e-learning. I finished my MBA, briefly worked as a consultant, wrote my first book, organised two conferences, and project-managed an e-learning programme for Scottish Enterprise, which led to my role at the eLearning Alliance.
