Forms of knowledge transfer

St. Gallen is one of the leading knowledge centers for strategy and strategic management. In addition to the University of St. Gallen and its institutes and research centers, there are a large number of small and medium-sized knowledge companies in St. Gallen that are involved in the generation and communication of strategy knowledge in a variety of ways. Some of them have also managed to integrate the knowledge of other locations such as Boston (MA), Shanghai, etc. through cooperation, international and global projects, representative offices and branches.

Thanks to the great importance of the private St.Gallen Business Schools, which were founded and developed in 1984 by the St.Gallen pioneer of management training, Dr. Günther Pipp and his students, St.Gallen is now considered one of the leading hot spots for strategy and strategic management. The constantly evolving strategy knowledge gained through studies, long-term observation and intensive contact with many thousands of executives and decision-makers is transferred into practice in various ‘forms’.

Variations on the St. Gallen Strategy Seminar

The  St.Gallen Strategy Seminar  at the SGBS St.Gallen Business School has been the leading continuing education course in the field of strategic management since 1994. A manager develops a new strategy no more than once a year. It takes many years to achieve a certain level of experience and professionalism for this important management task through ‘learning by doing’. In reality, managers do not have this time. What is needed is a concentrated and rapid infusion of the best strategy knowledge at the time.

The strategy seminar for optimal knowledge transfer

The ideal strategy seminar is therefore one that conveys the knowledge available worldwide about strategic management in a short space of time. Experiences should be prepared in such a way that they can be used in different market and industry constellations. The strategy seminar is available in different formats: As an executive strategy seminar. As a course. As a mini-MBA with a focus on strategic management. Selected programs can be found at sgbs.com/seminars/strategy-marketing-sales/ . Here is an initial breakdown:

Strategy Seminar for Executives

Executives implement strategic instructions from above and set strategic course themselves. The strategy seminar ‘ Strategic Management for Executives ‘ contains everything that top and upper managers need to know in order to be able to practice effective strategic management.

Strategy seminar with focus on ‘developing the best strategy’

Anyone who wants to develop strategies themselves or who wants to critically question strategies developed by external parties needs the special ability to get to the heart of the strategic challenges with just a few questions. Managers learn these skills at the St. Gallen Strategy Seminar and  Strategy Course .

Strategy seminar with focus on ‘implementing strategy optimally’

Developing good strategies is one thing, but then implementing them is another. Strategy implementation is the more difficult part of strategic management. The St.Gallen Strategy Seminar therefore places particular emphasis on the topic of implementation. At the strategy seminar, participants learn the  St.Gallen implementation know-how .

Strategy workshop and strategy consulting

Strategy Workshop

The strategy workshop is about imparting knowledge and applying it at the same time. To ensure the necessary discretion, the strategy workshop is held as an in-house event. We recommend that you seek support from the leading St. Gallen strategy consultancy.

Strategy consulting

The St.Gallen strategy consultancy has been going its own way since 1985, when it was founded. The St.Gallen consultants support renowned companies all over the world in finding the right, sustainable strategic path. The St.Gallen strategy consultancy works closely with the management and key players of its clients – and therefore comes up with accepted, implementable and yet promising solutions.
