Great Lakes Corporate Initiatives would also be responsible to explore and create, in collaboration with Industry, Centers of Excellence in focus areas, in order to improve Practices to meet the Real Life Needs in those areas, impart Training, network and bring in international Experts to provide State-of-the-Art knowledge, and cutting-edge Thinking. Towards this, Endowments/Grants, Scholarships and Awards would be instituted by Corporates for Chair Professorships, Fellowships for Focused Research in identified areas/topics towards defined ends and to the PGPM Students respectively.

In closing, it can be said that Great Lakes Corporate Initiatives is a strategic initiative whose time has come for Great Lakes to set in motion, to generate Industry-Institute networking, collaboration, Brand enhancement and beyond.
