2122303 – Betriebsmanagement für Ingenieure und Informatiker — Business Administration for Engineers and IT Professionals

Are you determined to take on leadership positions in companies in an unpredictable 40-plus year career? Engineers with additional business, problem-solving, and leadership skills and judgment have great competitive advantages. If you want to create a flexible, broad basis for this and are willing to get involved intensively, then this seminar will be of great benefit to you in the long term. The seminar is a management and financial training, based on the experiences in my long international management career. You will in small mixed groups of 2 or 3 deal with business cases in different industries, in different business functions and at different management levels, to prepare you as broad and as adaptable as possible for your unpredictable future. This will give you some experience with leading a team. 3-minute presentations plus discussion of the group results will reduce your fear of public speaking. With every presentation, you will become better at presenting and discussing confidently and showing executive presence. For possible promotions, you must be in a STAR position in the respective job: You have to produce top results, AND you need to be perceived as a High Potential and as capable of strategic thinking by your bosses. In about 40+ years of your career, you will have about 20 different jobs with always new requirements and mostly new bosses and employees to adapt to. You will always have to solve new, vague, undefined and often factually and humanly difficult problems for which you are not prepared. The risk of failure is high, and in my observation, this is why most managers get fired at some point in their careers — even as CEOs. For a long-term successful and relatively low-stress career with a lot of joy in life, in this seminar you will acquire, as far as possible, the necessary broad know-how, important skills, strategic thinking and judgment. I speak English, the material is mostly English and German. You can speak or write in any German, English or a mixture. 8x Mon 9:45 a.m. – 1:15 p.m.: 21.10, 04.11., 18.11., 02.12., 16.12.2024, 13.01.2025, 27.01., 10.02. Building 20.20, 2nd floor, IMI room 267
