Managing Business | English
«The training at Management School St.Gallen was top notch - they really go in the leadership rolls, how to deal with employees and how to run a business. The course was almost a one on one session and they go into how to improve your leadership role and how to improve your business. In my case how to be a better CEO and how to improve the management. I was just starting at that time and one year later it really has helped me and the company to be successful - even in this pandemic time.»

«I am glad having decided to take an exam after the program. Participation in the exam is an excellent opportunity and duty to engage oneself in the contents of the individual modules again. As a result, what you have learned becomes much more memorable. The courses are too valuable to simply put the seminar folder in the closet.»

St. Gallen's Management Diploma
«After a few years I wanted to refresh the knowledge from my studies again, but not simply by attending seminars. I wanted a knowledge update in combination with a practical application and professional support and feedback. But there are many providers of management seminars. At MSSG, I was particularly impressed by the concept of modular knowledge transfer and the subsequent application. My view of management has definitely changed in the course of the diploma program.»
Dirk Spitthoff
Business Unit Manager, Kassenärztliche Vereiningung Westfalen-Lippe

Executive Assistant, REWE
St. Gallen's Management Diploma
«I was looking for an institute that teaches St. Gallen management theory. The MSSG with its excellent speakers offers exactly what I was looking for. The speakers are technically very competent and able to enrich the individual seminars with their experiences. For me, the seminars were an ideal preparation for the St. Gallen's Management Diploma and, above all, they are excellent support for practical implementation in the company. What I have learned already bears fruit for our company in the implementation and gives me personal security in decision-making.»

The diploma thesis was the icing on the cake for deepening and critical reflection. I chose the MSSG because of the flexible course organization. And because I feel very attached to the St. Gallen philosophy and the focus on long-term perspectives.»

Andreas Vambrie
Structured Solutions, BayernLB
St. Gallen's Management Diploma

The very practice-oriented tutors and the participants from various industries and positions have resulted in a perfect mix of theory and practice. An all-round valuable experience that I have already been able to use profitably in my current position.»
Elke Bohn

Refreshing discussions on a sound basis - for a successful digital future»
Stefan Moser
Head of Omnichannel-Management, Berner Kantonalbank
St. Gallen's Management Diploma
«At the beginning there was the question: management course or management diploma. I chose the management diploma and retrospectively it was the right decision. I really have to think back a very long time to remember an event where I received so much content with a directly applicable practical relevance in a comparatively short time. A nice side effect: networking with like-minded people and new friends in an international environment. Recommended.»
Klaus Veselko

St. Gallen's Management Diploma
«In order to meet my own requirements for a highly qualified, part-time advanced training with a focus on St. Gallen management theory, I decided to study for the St. Gallen's Management Diploma from the MSSG. The decisive factors were the reputation of the MSSG, the selection of speakers and professional support right from the start. My managerial role demands permanent orientation in a constant change in a very dynamic logistics sector. The conveyed content in particular, but also the dialog with the course participants from different countries and industries, have set me up perfectly for new challenges.»

The seminar contents conveyed by the excellent speakers on the basis of the St.Gallen management theory were a good basis for the decision to complete the St.Gallen's Management Diploma. I am currently implementing the strategic realignment developed in the diploma thesis in the department I am responsible for. So I can say that the diploma course was a success for me in two ways.»

«Practical knowledge in a nutshell. Communicated almost playfully through didactic methodology and anchored in the memory.»
Michael Rohr
CEO, Ernst Bohle
St. Gallen's Management Diploma
«Especially when building a new business as a start-up leader, the technical idea behind something new is extremely important, but only half the truth. Strategy, marketing, positioning - all these issues are of central importance. The St. Gallen's Management Diploma helped me to build this bridge from "technology" to "general management". The top qualified speakers put tools aside, which become important companions in everyday work. The diploma thesis helps enormously to integrate what has been learned into your own task and to deepen it in a practice-oriented way.»
Christian Vogler
Start-up Development, nolax
Leadership & Inpiration
«An extremely valuable program for the daily management practice - especially after many years in a responsible managerial position, it was a very good mix of self-reflection and the teaching of essential management tools and principles. What distinguishes the seminar from my perspective is the practical link between these individual elements and achieving the company goals.»
Stephan Morgenschweis
Head of Customer Management, Amprion
