DEVELOPMENT CENTRE ON AN INTERNATIONAL PARQUET

12 participants from 8 nations were accompanied by our advisors within the framework of development centres in two consecutive years. As part of a multi-year development programme for the high potentials of a company in the logistics sector, two assessments with a development-oriented focus were carried out. The programme, which was set up with an international business university, aimed to raise the leadership qualities of the employees and take the international networking within the group to the next level. In addition to the development centres, the high potentials therefore also participated together in training sessions on leadership, change and project management.

After they had been able to demonstrate their skills in role exercises, team discussions and group presentations at the first development centre in Atlanta, USA, and had received individualised advice on how to develop further, their development was scrutinised again one year later at a second event in Bremen. Supervisors and HR managers thus had the opportunity to directly observe the success of the development programme. Detailed feedback from our diagnostic experts, units for self-reflection, keeping an individual logbook as well as feedback within the peer group rounded off the development centres into a holistic experience for the participants.
