Developing personalities. Strengthening organisations.
With the IMPEX® Management Simulation you strengthen your skills in a practical, holistic and results-oriented way. The programme is an open seminar – for aspiring managers as well as for people who have already taken on leadership responsibility or are growing into a leadership role.
Please note: the programme is currently held in German only.
What makes Talents to Leaders special
- 1
Broad range of topics
Leadership, business, markets and organisation are connected – for well-founded decisions in a business context.
- 2
Learning dynamics through peer groups
Exchanging ideas with other managers opens up new perspectives, broadens your view and strengthens your professional network.
- 3
Practical through case studies and simulation
With the IMPEX® Management Simulation you apply new knowledge directly in your team and to your own company – with a noticeable learning effect.
Our goal: from knowing to doing.
You leave the programme not only with knowledge, but with experience, self-confidence and new perspectives for your leadership role.
IMPEX® Management Simulation
Learning what counts in practice.
Three participants form a company and, as its management team, take responsibility for strategy, finance, marketing, production and human resources. What you work out in the seminar you put into practice straight away in the simulation – with measurable results and direct feedback.
„The demands on managers have changed fundamentally. Besides expertise, entrepreneurial thinking, strategic understanding and the ability to inspire people are now decisive for success.“
