Tools & mindset for successful change management

This training is held in German.
A decisive competitive factor for companies is dealing with and shaping change processes.

As a manager, you are aware of the statistics that around 70% of all change projects do not achieve the expected goals. You can see how change processes can be successful and fun at the same time if you approach them from a different perspective.

Employees and relevant stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, etc., are involved right from the start. In this training course, you will experience the effect of your mindset on your work and develop new, inspiring approaches.
