As the function took shape, Dell's new VP of Learning took a page from his previous experience at Motorola, forming governing councils populated by senior executives from the key businesses and functions throughout Dell. The chairs of those councils, all company vice presidents, made policy and set direction in areas like management, sales, and quality education. The decisions of each of the councils had to be ratified by the Board of Regents of Dell Learning.
The mission of the Dell Board of Regents is to set policy, support, direct, and review the operation of education within Dell.
