Corporate & Business Development
HR & Corporate Learning
CHANGE IN CORPORATE CULTURE
A unifying corporate culture with shared values is the cornerstone for acting inside and outside the organization. A corporate culture can change over the decades of a company, which is why in these projects the companies once again put their values to the test.
After an analysis, we worked with the respective company to draw up an implementation plan for the further development of the corporate culture within the company and defined suitable methods for the various target groups. We accompanied the companies until the first visible changes were made.

Part of the project was the support of the foundation, the selection of the CEO, the start of the operative business, the connection to the group as well as the securing of the financing with local credit institutions.

Part of the work involved establishing the center, developing continuing education products, marketing and selling the products, training and mentoring trainers, and training a team from the continuing education center.
