A management position becomes vacant. A female specialist is considering a change. Succession planning with hardly any women at the upper levels.
The women you need for this are already in-house.
AOK Baden-Württemberg: internal applications doubled, 90% transfer after 6 months, extended to cohort 3
Your next leadership roles are best filled from within.
This program is for organizations that:
want to fill management positions internally instead of searching for every role externally
want to retain strong female specialists who fall through the cracks in traditional programs
have a succession plan where women are lacking at the upper levels
need measures that can be proven with figures, not with certificates of participation
Your best women apply, negotiate, and take on responsibility without you having to persuade them to do so.

FAQ
How large is the pilot cohort?
8 to 10 participants. More intensive and easier to measure than large standard programs.
Can we start smaller?
Yes. Many organizations start with a keynote for the leadership team or the talent pool. This anchors the topic internally before budget is allocated for a program. In our pilot conversation, we will clarify which step makes sense for you.
What happens after the six months?
A follow-up assessment and a management report. You see what has actually stuck, not just how satisfied the participants were on the last day.
Which companies is this suitable for?
Especially for highly regulated, large organizations such as banks and insurance companies that take internal succession planning and retaining high potentials seriously.
How discreetly is this handled?
What is discussed in the individual coaching sessions does not leave the room. The management report shows aggregated results of the cohort, not individual profiles.
