Corporate Programs

This customer-specific program covers strategic management, marketing, financial leadership and general leadership. Sessions are run in Europe, Asia and the United States. Between modules, participants work on their own company projects, with support from SGMI specialists and company experts. An integrated e-learning program supports learning and application. Custom-designed learning checks track participant mastery.

Especially in markets where technology and products are becoming more alike, “soft factors” can be a competitive advantage. The company-specific Global Leadership Program comprises four modules on leadership behavior and methods. To accommodate the varied backgrounds of the participants, the program is run in two levels: Basic and Advanced. Much weight is given to enhancing an already successful company culture by applying the company’s leadership tools. The program is run around the world, but adjusted to local needs. One key outcome of the program: participants reach a common understanding of the company’s leadership principles.

The company-specific “Essential Entrepreneurship” program teaches the secrets of successful business founder strategies, based on the management principles of the St. Gallen Management Model.

Companies with global strategies often need to align the leadership behaviors of their managers. The SGMI Leadership Conference is a highly innovative method for quickly realizing this goal by focusing on both development and implementation. Using the “open space” method and working in groups of up to 150, company senior managers work out measures to align leadership behaviors across divisions and units; specially appointed “implementation managers” then take responsibility for putting into practice.

SGMI offers individual senior management coaching. Typical participants may want to build on the gains they make in a SGMI management development program. Our top executives seek highly focused, personalized guidance. SGMI senior management coaching is demanding. In fully integrated modules over a long period, the participant is challenged to reflect on and optimize his management success. Using tools like 360-degree feedback and current and desired state analysis, SGMI coaches determine optimization steps and help participants put them into practice.

Lifelong learning is a necessary prerequisite for maintaining market position in almost every company and industry. Knowledge becomes obsolete faster and faster, and needs to be renewed more frequently than ever before. A corporate university helps a company manage its knowledge and thus assures a long-term competitive advantage. A corporate university improves the image of the company – inside and outside. For the employees inside, the corporate university is a sign that the people in the organization are especially valuable and worthy of development and promotion. Externally, the corporate university helps in the recruiting of the most accomplished employees. Development programs become an effective instrument in implementing company strategy.
