Concept
In times of digitizated and saturated markets an increasing need for new ways of thinking in strategic and marketing management has raised. The holistic St. Gallen approach leads the participants into new perspectives of analysing their own role, concepts and implementation skills and gives an integrated navigation tool for future tasks.
This intensive seminar allows the participants to develop new methods for their own business based upon proven contemporary strategy and marketing tools in a holistic, integrated context. Within the seminar a mix of lectures, group work and discussion offers the opportunity for all participants to use the techniques, to discuss and questions the tools and – after all – to check what kind of views, questions and instruments will help for own tasks.
Participants
Digitization is challenging, undermining and disrupting how businesses operate. That is why the ability to develop operational business and marketing strategies – and then take those business strategies from plan to action – is highly prized in corporate leaders.
