Testimonials
"Thank you for years of excellent support to the EBS Executive School in developing and staffing future-oriented certificate programs and tailor-made company-specific training events. Content-wise at the highest level and at the same time very practice-oriented and directly applicable! We greatly appreciate the continuously positive feedback from participating executives – also regarding your own strategy modules."
"The well-founded strategy clarification and business model check greatly helped me and my leadership team to develop a clear strategic direction. Throughout the process, everyone was fully engaged, and the team visibly gained enthusiasm for implementation. A highlight was the 'Wunder-Box,' which sharpened our awareness of our initial strategic situation. Thank you also for the valuable support in the management committee of our parent company."
“The Strategy Bootcamp helped us, with the newly formed sustainability team, to successfully develop our ESG strategy, roadmap, and concrete next steps. The inspiring presentation on the megatrend of sustainability, the thorough analysis of socio-ecological impacts in our value chain, the valuable discussion on economic opportunities and risks, the outlook on CSRD requirements, and practical case studies supported us in further shaping the sustainable path of the Hirschvogel Group.”
“You were a highlight of our ESG Community Days. Your inspiring keynote not only provided new ideas in terms of content but also sparked enthusiasm for the further implementation of sustainability within the ERGO Group. Our international managers were noticeably motivated after your presentation to achieve their goals in the various regions and companies.”
“Your inspiring presentation on 'Rethinking Strategic Management' at our Horváth Annual Conference on Strategic Management provided valuable ideas. You vividly demonstrated to our participants why sustainable strategizing is so important today – and who is already successful in it. Entertaining, well-founded, practice-oriented, and with great passion for the topic.”
"The joint seminar series on the strategic opportunities of sustainability was practical, clearly structured, and inspiring. The approach of connecting strategy, business models, and transformation convinced the participants and provided valuable ideas for implementation. We received consistently positive feedback – many thanks!"
"The training programs you developed elevate the understanding of strategy, sustainability, and transformation to a new level. I also perceived you as a speaker to be very competent, practical, and inspiring. I can unreservedly recommend you for keynotes or for conveying strategic capabilities in in-house programs."
"Thank you very much for your keynote on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and business strategy at our Sortimo Intelligent Mobility Campus on the occasion of our 50th company anniversary. We are thrilled, and we received consistently positive feedback from our audience – whether customers, partners, or employees."
