Today more than ever, management development is a key success factor for companies. Many managers are looking for targeted support to further develop their skills and better master the challenges they face in their day-to-day work. Modern management development not only relies on traditional training, but also integrates innovative approaches such as digital learning formats and individual support. It is particularly important to organise development on an ongoing basis and to respond to the respective needs of managers. Clients often report that they gain more confidence in dealing with new technologies and methods through targeted impulses and continuous reflection.
Leadership development: methods and approaches
Leadership development encompasses a variety of methods. These include seminars, workshops, coaching, mentoring and digital learning formats. Each method has its strengths and can be used depending on the objective and requirements. Seminars provide targeted knowledge on current leadership topics. Coaching and mentoring offer individualised support and help to achieve personal goals. Digital learning formats enable flexible learning and are particularly useful for managers who operate in a dynamic environment.
Practical examples from the industry
A manufacturing company relies on a multi-stage learning programme for division managers. This programme combines online modules, face-to-face workshops and peer coaching. After each module, participants receive practical tasks that they apply in their day-to-day work and reflect on in the next module. This ensures that what they have learnt is implemented directly.
In the service sector, virtual training formats are used to train managers in the use of analytics tools. This enables them to make data-based decisions and improve their team management. In the energy sector, programmes rely on a combination of face-to-face workshops and accompanying learning platforms to strengthen leadership skills in the area of sustainable transformation.
Leadership development with KIROI Step 9
KIROI Step 9 focusses on the development of AI skills among managers. The aim is for managers not only to use AI tools, but also to understand how they can integrate them into their day-to-day work in a meaningful way. Management development supports this by providing impetus, offering individual support and thus helping to think and design new approaches.
