CLIENT FEEDBACK
Hans-Peter Zehnder, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Zehnder Group AG:
“ESI is supporting Zehnder with a lot of experience in designing and executing our leadership development programs. The ESI program does not consist of standard modules, but is taylormade to the specific needs of Zehnder.
Christian Landau and Thomas Saller are facilitating the training modules and workshops in a stringent manner, without missing the necessary lighthness and a sense of humour.
The fact that they seem to truely enjoy interacting with people is highly appreciated by the participants and by me. Their practical and interactive way of giving trainings promotes successful learning.”
Dr. Andreas Häberli, Chief Technology Officer, dormakaba:
"The multi-day case studies, which the ESI had developed and tailor-made to the current strategic challenges of the dormakaba group, were the absolute highlight of our Advanced Management Program and our Talent Development Program.
Thanks to its realistic task formulation with the focus on stimulating profitable growth of the dormakaba group, the supervised team work on strategy development became an impressive experience for our participants. The learning effects - also with regards to team building - were reinforced by the ongoing on-the spot feedback to the work of the sub-teams.
In several cases the results of the case studies led to important impulses, which we were able to transfer into our daily business."
Marcel de Vries, Managing Director, limango:
"The cooperation with the ESI on all management levels helped our company to move forward significantly. Key ingredient for this success was your versatility. This ranged from facilitating workshops with our management team, over building an integrated strategy and leadership development program for all department heads, up to running a basic leadership training for all our new team leaders. I am deeply convinced that thanks to our joint work, we have developed better leadership in our company. Thanks a lot for all your great work. We are very satisfied and you should be as well."
Dr. Ralf Klinge, Geschäftsführer, Commerz Business Consulting:
„CBC has been cooperating with the ESI in the context of the leadership program „Strategic Leadership“ since 2012. As a talent pool of the Commerzbank, we have the clear management board directive to identify and develop future leaders for the company. Strategic Leadership is an integral part of our customized qualification program. Until now, more than 10 cohorts (project managers, senior project managers, but also principals and partners) have attended the whole program or participated in some of the three leadership modules.
The feedback is very positive. Next to the intensive self-reflective character of the training, the program contains again and again elements (such as on expectation management) which are adopted and become tools that we use internally."
