“Customizing plus” for your company’s needs

Executive Corporate Programs

2

The demand for “impact” and measurable results in executive edu-cation is reaching new heights, and you know as well as we do, that impact can only occur, after your desired program goals have been achieved. It is this ambition to ensure a successful result, that places high expectations and challenging demands on both – you and us.

We have understood. We have the solutions to these challenges.

Sincerely yoursThe impact architects

Only then, when we have understood your business, do we begin

In order to deliver an impactful result, a close partnership is necessary between our team and all of the key business stakeholders involved. A thorough process of exploration is required, which can often reveal important but less obvious goals and valuable perspectives, that lie behind the initial business initiative. In the end it is these insights which can be central to the most effective development strategy for an organization.

We are interested what′s in your real interest. We listen.

No matter how much research and exploration has been done, what′s happening in a business is constantly changing, and you are best placed to be aware of this. In addition, you have deeper knowledge and are the real experts about your organization. So it makes total sense to include you as co-creators in the development process.

We integrate. We immerse ourselves. We are true partners.

We want you to be co-creators

We know and have the right people to inspire you

The success of a learning intervention is not only a question of the content and teaching methodologies used. It is also powerfully influenced by the quality and expertise of who you are learning from. Our spectrum involves the unique com- bination of tutors from the high-class faculty, successful entre- preneurs as well as respected practitioners together with our experts in specific subjects, selected for their detailed and relevant niche-knowledge. Altogether this offers enormous potential to make an “impact” for you.

We know business leaders around the world. We employ top people to help you see the bigger picture.

10

Using only classroom teaching as a standalone method, will not guarantee success. We achieve sustainable results, through our 3-level-approach, combining tailored learning content along with a comprehensive understanding of the requirements of both the individual and the organisation. In parallel with the core learning initiative process, the specific frameworks of executive transfer and executive sparring, together create the necessary environment needed to ensure and enhance impact.

We work closely with your precise requirements. We offer multifaceted education tools and methods, and help you choose the ones best suited to your individual needs.

Differentiating factors – how we do it

Going beyond custom-izing: Personal customizing combined with facilitated

co-creation sessions

Setting up your online ‘1place2learn’ learning solution, to use before,

during and after the program

Getting in contact with participants: Video invitation,

preliminary talks & virtual launch

“We have you in focus”: an individual Executive

Transfer scheme, to ensure a good personal and organizational

fit, throughout the corporate development process

Inspiring classroom sessions through a range of expert tutors: faculty and leading successful entrepreneurs

as guest-speakers

Maximizing post-program impact: University experts

and associate faculty remain at your side until impact is

created

13

Partnership means joint arrival. We accompany you through the process until the very end, until the real impact for both the organization and individuals is being realised. Our help remains available to you when you need it. Our experts from the University, as well as experienced C-Level partners with the same St.Gallen DNA, serve as potential sounding boards for you even after the classroom-program finishes.

We take shared responsibility for impact. We are there for you, until the very end.

We help ensure post-program impact

Acknowledgement of one of our latest customers

“The Lead to Outperform II program has contri­buted considerably to creating a development culture and approach within AFEA. It has shown an im­mediate and positive impact on the business as well as the individual careers of the participants. Finally it has contributed to creating a network of senior managers across our organization which will con­tinue to strengthen our Outperformance Culture and making each other successful across business units and functions.” Mirjam Baijens, Vice President Human Resources & Communications

Entering the next level

An additional value-added opportunity for you, is to become part of and an active participant in our cross-industrial and intercultural knowledge groups. From our perspective this is networking 2.0: Getting connected and into conversation with executives from all over the world, gaining a clearer under-standing of the complex challenges ahead, and exploring future business demands through multiple perspectives.

We will introduce you to relevant top-executives. We help build the bridge to your future.

From Insight to Impact – your expectation, our promise.
