The first Hamburger University (HU) class was held in the basement of a McDonald's in Elk Grove Village, Ill. Its first class of 15 graduated in 1961. Now the school brings in 5,000 students every year and more than

80,000 restaurant managers, mid-managers and owner/operators have graduated from this facility. Every McDonald's manager is required to go through the training in order to be promoted — including CEO HU is not a cooking course. The training at Hamburger University has different development paths for crew,

restaurant managers, mid-managers and executives. In 2010, a S$48 million Hamburger University was built in Shanghai and has trained 1,000 of its 70,000

Chinese employees from the 1,300 restaurants. An additional 4,000 will attend classes through 2014. One HU Shanghai participant: “Now my father has stopped trying to persuade me to work in banking”.

“Intel Inside” and “Oreo Inside” – What Are the Co-Branding Lessons for Your Company?

How did Intel and Oreo reinvent themselves to scale up to become multibagger brands with co-branding innovation? Dairy Queen takes credit for coming up with the Oreo/ice cream pairing after individual franchisees started grinding up the cookie and mixing it into the company’s trademark Blizzard dessert in the 1980s. It was later adopted by McDonald’s Oreo McFlurry frozen desert, Domino’s Oreo pizza, restaurants, bubble gum etc. This “Oreo Inside” co-branding campaign reinvigorated a mature tired 100 year-old brand and Oreo is now a US$2 billion global business for Kraft, with half of the sales of “America’s Favorite Cookie” coming from emerging markets – and growing at double-digit.

What are the lessons for your company? How can the leaders at every level adopt a multi-disciplinary mindset to introduce innovative breakthrough ideas for your company?
