If I Were In Your Shoes Find common ground with your corporate community. Corporate University relations should be seen as a partnership. Ownership of issues, and the responsibility to find solutions then belongs to both partners. Look for new corporate funding sources as the Australia USA FTA becomes a reality. Differentiate yourself clearly from the competition (other Aussie universities). Don t ask for money every time you see your corporate friends, and don t tire them out with endless meetings. Put a lot of energy into understanding your corporate partner s needs and future business directions. Remember, if you are a partner then you will be there with them as their business grows, changes, and becomes more global.
