Case Study: High-tech laser company
We transformed this client’s leadership development landscape. From top-down and classroom-based to user-driven and multi-modular.
The client aimed to completely transform their leadership development landscape; to be future-oriented and human-centered.
To activate them, we had to make sure learning was not just another annoying to-do for them.
So, we worked with a client team to identify how leaders can most effectively boost leadership skills in times of packed calendars and constant new business challenges. We implemented micro-learnings, peer learning, community learning, self-paced learning, but also formal learning. We devised an innovative, fresh, and co-creative new learning landscape tailored to the strategic goals of the organization and its members’ needs.
We’ve built a dynamic learning community for leaders, seamlessly integrated into MS Teams, that serves as a hub for sharing insights. Top management is actively involved, fostering an open dialogue. Centered around their unique leadership model, we offer micro-learning modules that were made virtually accessible during the pandemic. To deepen skills development, we’'ve rolled out hybrid leadership learning journeys. Annually, we host a Learning Festival, encouraging leaders to facilitate their own sessions. Pop-up events featuring external experts further enrich this vibrant ecosystem.
Our key insights:
Leaders often sideline learning to tackle immediate challenges, undermining efforts to foster a learning culture. To counter this, it’s up to top management to communicate that investing in learning today reduces future stress and improves efficiency. They must also take part in learning to show they truly believe it. Seamless integration of learning into daily routines is key. Through low-commitment, effective options like pop-up events and virtual workshops, leaders can choose what’s relevant to them. Excite instead of imposing.

We created a cutting-edge development journey for a group of high-potential new science leaders for one of Germany’s top science associations with more than 11,500 researchers worldwide.
We used applicable leadership practice, deep reflections, self-driven goal-settings, and innovative tools to create a holistic learning experience.
We ensured that each cohort grows into a community of emerging leaders that reflects on real challenges and develops solutions that sustainably benefit the client’s leadership academy.
