Transforming Professional Development Using Higher Education
Debunking Six Continuing Fallacies Of Higher Education*, an article in the University World News, describes six areas that higher education must transform if it expects to survive into the future. We used the transformation areas noted in the article to benchmark our professional development model at CFO.University. We encourage finance leaders and corporate learning and development professionals to note how these 'six fallacies' are being addressed for their teams.
