GCU was committed to providing GCs with a curriculum that was strategically mapped to top Competencies, enhancing their contribution to the C-suite and advancing the business. Each course included learning objectives from at least two such Competencies. The Most Sought GC Program was based on Korn Ferry’s global competency framework, deriving from qualitative, quantitative and market-based data, and relying on comprehensive and rigorous analysis, external research literature etc. WGCC commissioned Korn Ferry to identify key competencies, traits, drivers of GCs that are requisite to be the “Most Sought” GC and we used that research to frame this Program.
GCU is grateful to the sponsors and partners who supported our program by collaborating on and delivering top quality programming in support of GCU.

Graduate Testimonials
GCU exceeded my expectations! The curriculum was marked by rich content and nuggets of wisdom that is beneficial for all types of GCs. But most importantly, I will forever carry with me the network of inspirational women leaders that I can now call my friends and GC confidantes. | As a graduate, I can say that it was a profound and perspective changing experience for me, both professionally and personally, and the network and connections I have within my cohort are for a lifetime. |
