Further develop competencies and skills
We conduct in-house leadership training for managers and high-potential employees, whether as traditional face-to-face events, in combination with blended learning, or as online seminars. You inform us about the current challenges and what overall goals you would like to achieve with the leadership training.
One foot in practice, the other in teaching.
Since we are not "only" a training institute, but also lead large change projects ourselves as external project managers in consulting, this current knowledge about transformations in companies flows into the training courses. The trainers have one foot in practice and the other in teaching/training. Thus, the two "worlds" cross-fertilize each other.
Coaches are people, not know-it-alls.
Our trainers see themselves at eye level with the participants. They sometimes also consciously report their own mistakes in leadership and their learnings from them. In this way, an atmosphere can be created in the training that encourages managers to show themselves and open up, even with their challenges and hurdles. This creates depth and sustainability. It also increases the connection between participants beyond the training.
Leadership training
Situational approach.
Individual Development Goals.
Despite the overarching training goal, the prior knowledge, needs, and desires of individual managers in training can vary widely. Therefore, we design our trainings and contents individually. We do this by having each participant set a personal development goal for the training at the beginning and communicate it to the trainer or the group. By this we do not mean expectations, because a development goal is the responsibility of the participant. The sum of these development goals then influences what the trainer focuses on. So each training is depending on the group and individual goals, and in the end it is a perfect fit.
We come from practical experience.
We provide practice.
Our concern is to convey the contents as practically as possible. In doing so, we take up the concrete practical cases of the participants from their own everyday work and combine them with scientifically based models. Theory is outsourced as far as possible and taught via blended learning elements. When we teach models in training, we focus on models that manager can use with their team the next day. This mixture of a lot of practice and only the most necessary theory/models enables your managers to immediately integrate the contents into their daily work and to implement them sustainably.
Almost all WANDELPLAN trainers have their own leadership and management experience. This enables them to optimally support the participants in solving their practical cases.

Development programs
Our development programs offer both experienced managers and young talent the opportunity to participate in a multi-module program over a longer period of time and learn the leadership skills of the future. A particular advantage is that participants can exchange ideas and share their developments with other executives during the program. In this way, a culture of support between managers is promoted in addition to competence development.
Leadership skills for the future
We offer support for the introduction of peer groups between individual modules or job shadowing among participants. The contents of the individual modules are developed together with the organization to fit you exactly and can be adapted as needed during the overall program. We offer conceptual and content-related competence as well as trainers with their own leadership experience.
With a multi-module development program over an extended period of time, you can achieve:
- A sustainable
behavioral change
among managers through the possibility of implementation between the modules - Leadership knots:
Dissolve knots in individuals that can only burst in the dynamic with a group with simultaneous deep trust, but not in individual coaching - Common language:
Develop a common language among managers on leadership topics and thus create a more coherent image of the leadership culture - A more uniform
understanding of leadership
create - Culture:
Strengthen among the group of leaders. Open up and connect, deal positively with mistakes, and get collegial help when things get tough.
Implementation success in everyday management
This is our primary focus. That is why we try to activate as many internal resources as possible. For more sustainability that works even after the training. The WANDELPLAN team will be happy to advise you on best practices and success factors for leadership development programs.

What to look for in the planning!
Whether nominated by superiors, through self-applications, interdepartmental management rounds, or diagnostic testing procedures - how and with which methods participants are selected is important for the success of a program. Who invites participants and, above all, how is also crucial: in personal dialogue, as a central email to everyone, via a cover letter from management, all of these have an influence on how participants experience the development program.
