Strategic Leadership Lab
HOW CAN I LEAD TOMORROW TODAY?
The STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP LAB is a cross-industry competency-building program that enables executives to implement forward-looking strategy work.
It is aimed at as many as 2-3 people in an organization who want to shape the strategic development of their organization in a contemporary and customized way.
The Lab offers conceptual strategy knowledge as well as practical leadership know-how. In addition, it opens up a space for critical reflection on your strategy work to date and enables a constructive exchange with like-minded people – even beyond the duration of the Lab.
