Continuing Education and Training
Further Education in Transition
The megatrends shaping the future, already visible on the horizon today, are feminization, demographics, health, and globalization. These forces are increasingly reshaping not only the economy but also education, culture, and society as a whole.
These future trends are already present and reflected in today’s headlines:
- Intercultural management training
- Sustainable business relationships
- Strategic thinking
- Corporate social responsibility
- Corporate governance
- Emotional intelligence
- Dialogue competence
- Value creation through appreciation
- Work-life balance as a source of personal strength for value creation
- Value-driven personnel development focused on employee strengths
Our clients demonstrate a keen sense for timely and impactful topics. They often challenge the idea that shareholder-driven management represents the pinnacle of ethical leadership. For them, “just in time” is not about merely listing terms like corporate governance or employee branding but about embodying character and integrity.
While global corporations test the limits of negative publicity, some former industry giants scale back to focus on core products, banks navigate crises of trust, and markets stumble, we place our focus on “socially-minded individuals” in a globalized world. Coaches and trainers of the future will not simply impart knowledge but will foster self-directed learning, echoing the philosophies of Montessori, Steiner, and Peter Petersen.
In personnel development, self-directed learning will increasingly take center stage. With allocated budgets, employees and leaders will shape their own development. HR departments and external training or coaching programs will form a strategic partnership, contributing to a company’s value creation while enhancing systematic employee development and retention. This dual approach also supports employer branding.
Our Success Factor: Highest Possible Quality
We pride ourselves on:
- Small participant groups
- Personalized support
- Individual coaching
- Self-directed learning
These quality standards define the philosophy of the Management School. Excellence requires more than adherence to quality; it involves active participation by attendees. At the core of our seminars is action-based learning. Participants develop leadership and behavioral techniques by understanding, reflecting, and applying new skills to their professional practice.
The Management School is also a member of the NFT, a network committed to maintaining high-quality standards in continuing education.
What this means for you: Certified quality, reliable organization, and comprehensive seminar and training management before and after the event.
Our Goal: Comprehensive Variety
With experienced trainers and over three dozen open seminars across all leadership-relevant areas, the Management School offers one of the most diverse programs available. Our participants include professionals and executives from all organizational levels, including board members.
Open seminars are carefully aligned and aim to provide not just theoretical and technical knowledge but also practical methods for sustainable learning. In corporate training, the Management School acts as a system provider, offering comprehensive services from educational needs analysis and strategic consulting to personnel development planning.
Didactic Principles, Core Concepts, and Objectives
Derived from the Greek word “didáskein” (to teach), didactics addresses the theory and practice of teaching and learning.
Our approach distinguishes between didactics (the “what”) and methodology (the “how”). Guided by this distinction, we select content that optimally supports the individual learning process. No longer solely the domain of educators, didactics now emphasizes all learning-enhancing arrangements, acknowledging that each person constructs their own subjective reality.
Our constructivist philosophy holds that knowledge cannot be directly transferred from one person to another but must be actively built by the learner. The role of the teacher is to shape the learner’s environment in ways that foster essential cognitive development.
Key questions in didactics include: Who should learn what, from whom, when, with whom, where, how, with what resources, and for what purpose?
Inspired by educational pioneers like Pestalozzi, we advocate for self-directed learning that empowers individuals to enhance their skills across personal, professional, and communal dimensions. This autonomy improves life quality by reducing dependency on external control.
We critique traditional educational institutions that perpetuate defensive or resistant learning through authoritarian teaching methods. Instead, we promote learning through active engagement with one’s environment and relationships.
The Core of Self-Directed Learning (SDL):
SDL emphasizes autonomy, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It fosters essential competencies such as teamwork, planning, reliability, and presentation skills. The method centers on learning by teaching, where participants demonstrate and defend their knowledge, building confidence and finding meaning through social connection and self-fulfillment.
Our Offerings
Our programs are designed to allow participants to continue their education alongside work or study with maximum flexibility.
Our pillars of success:
- Knowledge transfer
- Practice phases
Participants can form their own practice groups or opt for individual training and coaching. This ensures that no one is held back by differing learning speeds. We emphasize active, hands-on learning to reinforce practical skills and knowledge.
Even after completing a seminar, our advisory team remains available, as every educational experience is part of a broader journey toward lasting success. For corporate training, an initial in-depth consultation forms the basis for tailored recommendations.
