Management Development Program

Objective

Increased complexity and the dynamic changes in the environment in which

organizations operate require that organizations in order to survive and sustain
become learning organizations in a very specific way.

A key feature of future top organizations will be to know how to tap into the
motivation and learning potential on all levels of the organization.

With this program, the company offers a unique development opportunity to

talented international managers who have been identified by the company‘s
Talent Management Process.

The program is designed to drive and support the individual development of these
talents along the following core disciplines: „Personal Mastery“, „Mental
Models“, „Building shared Vision“, „Team Learning“, „Systems Thinking“.

Management Development Program

The five Core Disciplines of a Learning Organization

1. Personal Mastery
– Openness to ongoing individual development in order to be ready for the continuously changing
challenges in a learning organization,
– to create a context for oneself that - as a creative network - stimulates learning and growth.
2. Mental Models
– The reflection on the „inner maps“ and the deeply ingrained assumptions that influence how we
understand the world and how we take action. Above all, this means,
– to comprehend the strong interconnections between our thinking and our actions.
3. Building a shared Vision
– Creating identification by building a shared ‚picture of the future‘ and translating it into a set of
principles and guiding practices.
4. Team Learning
– Ability for effective communication, conflict solving and consensus building in work groups and
teams, in order to make optimal use of existing resources and capacities.
5. Systems Thinking
– Thinking in complex interconnections
– Evaluating organizational challenges in terms of interdependencies und effecting cycles
– and developing effective ways to design systems.
