The course was almost a one on one session and they go into how to improve your leadership role and how to improve your business. In my case how to be a better CEO and how to improve the management. I was just starting at that time and one year later it really has helped me and the company to be successful - even in this pandemic time.»

With the guidance of an incredibly professional and empathetic trainer, they help us engage in self-reflection, which in turn yields insights that truly transform our collaboration in a lasting way.

Marion Post
HR Development Specialist at Verallia Germany

«Bildung und Weiterbildung war für mich immer ein Wegbegleiter während meines gesamten Berufslebens. Nach Rücksprache mit Frau Odermatt habe ich mich dann für das St.Galler Management Zertifikat mit den Bausteinen «Strategisches Management», «Führen Leisten Leben / Managerial Effectiveness» und «Resonanz durch Führung» entschlossen und nunmehr im November erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Die Management School St.Gallen hat mir hiermit die Möglichkeit eröffnet, neben dem Berufsalltag weiteres fundiertes Wissen durch hochkarätige und kompetente Dozentinnen und Dozenten in einer inspirierenden Lernatmosphäre vermittelt zu bekommen. Vielen Dank dafür!»

Andreas Schmitz
CFO bei IVT Weiner + Reimann GmbH - a member of the ERBUD S.A.

«I am glad having decided to take an exam after the program. Participation in the exam is an excellent opportunity and duty to engage oneself in the contents of the individual modules again. As a result, what you have learned becomes much more memorable. The courses are too valuable to simply put the seminar folder in the closet.»

Iris Graffunder
Project Leader, EWN Entsorgungswerk für Nuklearanlagen

«After a few years I wanted to refresh the knowledge from my studies again, but not simply by attending seminars. I wanted a knowledge update in combination with a practical application and professional support and feedback. But there are many providers of management seminars. At MSSG, I was particularly impressed by the concept of modular knowledge transfer and the subsequent application. My view of management has definitely changed in the course of the diploma program.»

Dirk Spitthoff
Business Unit Manager, Kassenärztliche Vereiningung Westfalen-Lippe

Laura Bornmann
Executive Assistant, REWE

«I was looking for an institute that teaches St. Gallen management theory. The MSSG with its excellent speakers offers exactly what I was looking for. The speakers are technically very competent and able to enrich the individual seminars with their experiences. For me, the seminars were an ideal preparation for the St. Gallen's Management Diploma and, above all, they are excellent support for practical implementation in the company. What I have learned already bears fruit for our company in the implementation and gives me personal security in decision-making.»

Volker Meisterjahn
Head of Development, MEGA Software

«Practice-oriented approach to current challenges with a scientific background and experienced presenters.»

Jan Klüver
IT Management Consultant, kobaltblau Management Consultants

«The seminar showed me in a vivid way, with great practical examples, what it means to become digital.

A high-level seminar, after which I have gotten new impulses, understood the context and feel able to become DIGITAL.»

Reto Stump
Board of Directors, Helsana Versicherungen

«After having had responsibility for many change projects in my professional life, I wanted to critically analyze my most recently completed project and compare current trends and knowledge. I wanted to work on the project as part of a scientific work. The program modules were important to refresh the current state of knowledge in change management. The diploma thesis was the icing on the cake for deepening and critical reflection. I chose the MSSG because of the flexible course organization. And because I feel very attached to the St. Gallen philosophy and the focus on long-term perspectives.»

Ernst Petri
Senior Vice President, OMV

«A well-chosen mix of theory and practical examples! I would like to see more courses of this format from other providers.»

Benno Schnüriger
Team Leader, Finnova

«Professional seminar with competent trainer and pleasant conversation atmosphere.»

Markus Weiglhofer
Head of QM, TDK Electronics

«For me, the diploma program was a very good opportunity to build a stable bridge between theory and my own practical experience. In particular, the possibility to process and present a topic with high practical value in the context of the diploma thesis has helped me a lot to transform the contents of the courses into my own environment in order to deal with future questions more efficiently.»

Andreas Vambrie
Structured Solutions, BayernLB

«The St. Gallen's Change Management diploma course not only brought me closer to the theoretical facets of change management, but also taught me a lot of valuable insights directly from practice. The very practice-oriented tutors and the participants from various industries and positions have resulted in a perfect mix of theory and practice. An all-round valuable experience that I have already been able to use profitably in my current position.»

Elke Bohn
HR Manager, Ecolab Europe

«At the beginning there was the question: management course or management diploma. I chose the management diploma and retrospectively it was the right decision. I really have to think back a very long time to remember an event where I received so much content with a directly applicable practical relevance in a comparatively short time. A nice side effect: networking with like-minded people and new friends in an international environment. Recommended.»

Klaus Veselko
CEO bei Software Quality Lab

«A digital world poses great challenges for employees, managers, technology and companies. As part of the impulse days, there are always new approaches to how these questions can be answered and how other participants deal with them. Refreshing discussions on a sound basis - for a successful digital future»

Stefan Moser
Head of Omnichannel-Management, Berner Kantonalbank

«An extremely valuable program for the daily management practice - especially after many years in a responsible managerial position, it was a very good mix of self-reflection and the teaching of essential management tools and principles. What distinguishes the seminar from my perspective is the practical link between these individual elements and achieving the company goals.»

Stephan Morgenschweis
Head of Customer Management, Amprion

«In order to meet my own requirements for a highly qualified, part-time advanced training with a focus on St. Gallen management theory, I decided to study for the St. Gallen's Management Diploma from the MSSG. The decisive factors were the reputation of the MSSG, the selection of speakers and professional support right from the start. My managerial role demands permanent orientation in a constant change in a very dynamic logistics sector. The conveyed content in particular, but also the dialog with the course participants from different countries and industries, have set me up perfectly for new challenges.»

Karsten Keil
Vice President IT, Schnellecke Logistics

«A training course that successfully conveys theoretical knowledge and at the same time shows current practical examples of the participants' practical application. A big praise to the trainer.

Daniel Haller
Head of F&M, Hoerbiger Automatisierungstechnik

«Practical knowledge in a nutshell. Communicated almost playfully through didactic methodology and anchored in the memory.»

Michael Rohr
CEO, Ernst Bohle

«Driven by the focus of my current position, I was looking for new impulses for the sustainable implementation of our corporate strategy. The seminar contents conveyed by the excellent speakers on the basis of the St.Gallen management theory were a good basis for the decision to complete the St.Gallen's Management Diploma. I am currently implementing the strategic realignment developed in the diploma thesis in the department I am responsible for. So I can say that the diploma course was a success for me in two ways.»

Lars Otte
Vice President Business Development, Schnellecke Logistics

«A very helpful seminar to keep up to date with the latest management methods.»

Thomas Friedrich
CFO, Mannstaedt

«Especially when building a new business as a start-up leader, the technical idea behind something new is extremely important, but only half the truth. Strategy, marketing, positioning - all these issues are of central importance. The St. Gallen's Management Diploma helped me to build this bridge from "technology" to "general management". The top qualified speakers put tools aside, which become important companions in everyday work. The diploma thesis helps enormously to integrate what has been learned into your own task and to deepen it in a practice-oriented way.»
