GULL Asia videos
Corporate Business School launch, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
GULL provides a customizable system that companies, associations, social and community groups and other organizations can use to create an ‘own brand’ corporate school, academy or university. The purpose is to integrate learning and working in a practical, affordable way so that participants can earn recognized qualifications by addressing organizational challenges and their own learning needs.
GULL Asia’s Corporate Business School (CBS) launch took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 28 April 2008. The event was hosted by the Minister of Human Resources and the Deputy Minister of Youth & Sports. For further details, view the News section, April 2008 (View news from Malaysia).
The concept of a corporate business school (CBS)
Speaker: Dr Richard Teare, President, GULL
In a world where communications are rapid and the pace of change is accelerating, organizations must find ways of ensuring that their rate of learning is equal to or greater than the rate of change. A CBS structure can achieve this objective for the individual and for the collective talent and knowledge of all participants – the heartbeat of any organization. GULL uses action learning to enable people to learn from each other, create their own resources, identify their own problems and form their own solutions.

Establishing a CBS in Malaysia
Speaker: Mr John Augustin, Regional General Manager, Value Hospitality Group
Now that we have our own corporate business school, we can help our staff to become truly expert professionals. I’m happy because many of our people are progressing on either the GULL professional Bachelor or Master degree pathway and I can see that their performance in the company has improved – they have raised the bar! Human resource is a huge challenge in my industry – the turnover rates are very high, but with our own corporate school, we hope that we can become a preferred choice employer in the near future.

The National and Economic benefits of the CBS initiative
Speaker: Yang Berhormat Datuk Dr S Subramaniam, Minister of Human Resources, Government of MalaysiaThe Ministry of Human Resources is keen to encourage organizations to develop their own human capital and employability. As organizations develop, the workplace itself becomes the best institution for learning. To accomplish this, a shift is needed from academic inputs to people training, focused on workplace learning and development. I hope that this will become the working culture for all Malaysians in the near future.

Malaysia produces many graduates who are unable to find jobs. (2) How might GULL help the Nation to address the ‘soft skills’ gap that currently exists?
