Our Leadership Development Offerings for the IT and Engineering-Industry

Axel teaches from his
own real-life experience

Leadership Development That
Generates Results. Immediately!

Leaders MUST be able to navigate a world full of uncertainty,
handle diverse hybrid teams,
make difficult decisions,
embrace the opportunities of AI while not scaring away their employees,
and work with laser-focus strategically towards ambitious goals.

This means:
Leaders MUST constantly work on their skills.

They MUST upskill their people by establishing a learning and skill based culture.

And that’s exactly what we do for you:

We develop leaders capable of exactly that. And more.

According to PwC’s 2023 Global Workforce Survey most employees don’t have the managers they need to discuss openly or take small risks (which are necessary for change and innovation).

A nightmare!

With our leadership programs we develop leaders who encourage dissent and debate to foster innovation. And create an innovation-friendly failure culture.

Axel Rittershaus was the key player in drafting, developing, and facilitating our IMPACT program, which runs over five modules for 18 months. He developed this program for the top executives of our global organisation in close collaboration with us. All attendees were nominated and identified as potential board members of the future. Therefore, they are already very successful, highly skilled, and not easy to impress.
The program became a huge success, and within 4 years, we have completed five groups with more than 120 attendees from 14 countries. The feedback from the attendees is way beyond the usual results, not only because of the program’s content but especially because of Axel.
More than 30% of the attendees became board members after completing the program, and many refer to it as a crucial building block of their leadership development.
