3 We bring your innovation to implementation. Dr. Peter Lorange Innovation and Investment. Dear Executives, corporate education is an investment for both your staff and your company. It will boost the success of your business. The long-term performance of your company will be better you will be a winner. The most valuable driver for success is innovation. However, innovation and growth is a Herculean task. A task which needs thoughtful and wise backing. The Lorange Institute of Business Zurich approach to corporate education addresses this: intensive learning experiences, clear take-home values, modularized so that the job is not jeopardized, and costeffective. Networking is key and sharing insights with facilitators rather than being taught by professors or instructors in the traditional sense. Current paradigms and practices are challenged how to make good even better? Our corporate programs are designed to help you innovate faster and more effectively and to bring such innovation to reality. We shall help you to get ready for the future and build a solid corporate education foundation with the Lorange Institute of Business Zurich. Based on my personal, life-long experience, I can strongly recommend the executive programs that you shall read about in this brochure. Yours sincerely, Peter Lorange, President 3

5 A company can only be as innovative as its leaders. Dr. Philipp Boksberger Education means: listening first. Dear Executives, from my experience I can say that all companies need ongoing training. Traditionally, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are not of the size that they chose to offer their own corporate education. The Lorange Institute of Business Zurich can be a relevant choice in such cases. But also larger corporations face challenges where answers and solutions can be hard to find. Their internal programs and their own corporate universities can become inbred. Also in this case, the Lorange Institute can offer you solutions. The Lorange Institute may be your ideal partner in several ways: we closely cooperate with you, and listen to your real needs; we develop programs for coaching the company s executives who make decisions on the firm s strategic orientation. And we have the skills to coach the management with more of a focus on truly relevant issues. We offer you several different corporate programs: Tailored Corporate Programs: customized to your individual needs; Open Enrollment Corporate Programs: best practice learning; Family Programs and Board of Directors Programs. All our tailored programs are based on up-to-date research and combine practical insights with topclass coaching and moderation. Our corporate programs are focused on effective knowledge transfer! I personally recommend our programs presented on the following pages as they are all based on practical experience. Benefit from this experience and let us together bring your innovation to implementation! Yours sincerely, Philipp Boksberger, COO 5

8 The Lorange Institute has a great campus, on the edge of Lake Zurich, and with easy access from the airport a convenient place to study and effective. Peter Brabeck Chairman of the Board of Directors, Nestlé Keynote speaker, Advisory Council, April 2010 Tailored Corporate Programs. The tailored programs of the Lorange Institute of Business Zurich offer you a variety of advantages. You will benefit from our concentrated support. In any tailored program your company is the sole focus your people are the exclusive participants. You benefit from an intimate, extraordinarily creative atmosphere the right place to breed new ideas and insights. We will deal with your key strategic issues in-depth. Where and When? It is up to you to make this important decision. You will decide on the number of participants, the content and the length of the program and also where it takes place. We are pleased to host you at our business school in Horgen in a both beautiful and inspiring atmosphere right on the shores of Lake Zurich. Or we travel to you wherever you are. The Lorange Pre-Initative. Planning is often the most important part of a journey. The same is true for education. Do you feel that the time is right for education without knowing what you would like to improve? Prior to your decision we will be more than willing to listen to you and discuss your needs with you. Together, we will pre-evaluate the right education plan. At the same time, we not only back up your topmanagement with executive coaching, we also have both the skills and the faculty for shortterm, hands-on training: sales training for your sales force. A coaching seminar on motivation for your staff at the front. The duration of such training sessions is usually only a few days a year with a highly positive outcome. Individual Coaching. There is the well-known saying it is lonely at the top, but you eat better. The challenges for executives can be tough and as such, incomparable to other tasks and duties. For this reason, we offer executives individal coaching, tailored to current questions and needs, including a variety of topics: One-to-one work with a well established coach Primary purpose: to accelerate the development of an executive s leadership capability Secondary purpose: for an individual executive to get to know his own strengths / weaknesses better The individual one-to-one coaching takes place after a corporate program, either at the Lorange Institute s premises or at the executive s work place A plan for an individual executive s program for coaching is to be developed in cooperation with our experienced leadership development team Price per day CHF 20,000 8 Tailored Corporate Programs

9 Practice Proven Programs. A tailored program starts with a planning meeting where we discuss your expectations as the program shall focus on the specific needs of your company. Here are six typical programs: The Exceptional Program Such programs might have a stronger focus on individual coaching or include a trip to increasingly important emerging markets, such as China and/ or India where you meet up with key local executives. Or that we broaden the view on governance by observing symphony orchestras, conducting and composing, and thus learning more about leadership qualities. Familiy Business Program This program is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of specific family businesses like the medium-sized company we helped to establish a career planning model. Family businesses may have difficulties to attract a strong group of professional managers to work side-by-side with family members. Questions like the one of succession, of governance and of financial and liquidity planning are key. New challenges arise as families establish so-called family offices to handle many of these issues. Revenue Management A leading food company asked us to help them to increase revenue. We developed a program for generating more and higher revenue a substantial target of almost every firm. Such a program might focus on how to build more revenue through geographical expansion, extending one s business model by incorporating the latest web-based technology, or by implementing more understandable innovations into one s products and services. Leadership Strengthening one s leadership culture is an important though often neglected task. When a transportation company with worldwide activities asked us to support them, we developed a tailored program on leadership. Such programs might encompass how to develop modern organizational structure a flatter, less hierarchic, more networked, less bureaucratic structure including and accompanying updated processes and a leadership culture to make the new approach work in your company. The development of both structure and processes includes role plays as well as individual coaching. Finance & Timing Many firms face large capacity expansion decisions, like a smaller private financial institution for which we introduced a tailored program with a strong focus on the timeline. To time an expansion well is key both when it comes to green-field investments, capacity expansions as well as acquisitions. Moreover, equally important is to secure the financing by means such as loan facilities, issuance of bonds, call for new equity or others. Price per day CHF 20,000 Tailored Corporate Programs 9

12 Students of the Lorange Institute analyzed aspects of our business strategy. We were impressed by the quality feedback and ability to challenge our working assumptions! Kristian Jebsen Chairman & CEO, Gearbulk Holding Limited Provider of a Zurich Living Case Board of Directors Program. In all corporations worldwide the Board of Directors is a key resource. So is the Chairman of the Board. But the board is often not used to its full potential although much experience and competence is available. The Lorange Institute has launched an effort to advise chairmen and board members on how to design key strategic tasks and improve board performance. The purpose of this program is to further define the full potential of board performance, to highlight the gap and help chairmen bridge it. This program is tailored to meet the needs for strengthening of a specific company board. Every program is thus unique in its design. Senior Management of the given firms might also attend, if so desired. Use the Power of your Board. The board could create more value for the business, improving its strategic decision-making process, supporting the management team in implementing key strategic initiatives, and interacting with top management more effectively. Our program might include typical topics such as: Setting a more effective agenda for the board How can the board focus on the key strategic issues, and not be dragged into the many smaller issues How can the board improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its decision making process Role(s) of sub-committees what is good practice Brand size, renewal and succession Compensation of the board chairperson and members Where and When? It is up to you to make this important decision. You will decide on the number of participants, the content and the length of the program and also where it takes place.

13 Rapid Management Solutions. Urgent issues in your company need to be solved immediately. Usually, such issues are too small to commit a large consulting group. Not only are they far away from your hands-on problems. They are also too slow and they are expensive. The Zurich Living Case is a perfect and neat solution for your immediate management issues. In a Zurich Living Case your management will present specific problems and key questions which you discussed with our faculty in a Master class. The Zurich Living Case is a core element of all our Executive Master s programs. During the case the students will work closely together with your company on the respective fast-paced consulting project, supervised by faculty members. All our master program participants have at least five years of professional experience. The average experience of the participants in our Executive MBA program is seven to ten years. Consulting on a high level. We assign your Living Case to one of our experienced professors. We draw our faculty from leading experts from all around the world with over twenty years of experience in their fields. They are all leading academics and renowned practitioners who will discuss objectives with you and the questions you want to have answered. Before a course commences, the professor outlines the project in a manual to familiarize students with your case. These fast-paced projects are similar to consulting projects, usually structured in four steps: Industrial analysis Competitive analysis Problem definition Recommendations The Zurich Living Case provides cooperating companies with many excellent ideas on how to tackle their current challenges. During the study module, lasting 12 days, our students are split up in multidisciplinary consulting groups and work on solving your case. They are supported by you in order to maximize not only their learning outcome but to increase the benefit for your company. Two weeks later a fully formulated solution from each consulting team, offering valuable innovations and strategies, will be presented to you.
