What participants say about this course: 
  • Der Kurs hat mich inspiriert. Zum einen zu einem reflektierten Selbstbild. Zum anderen auch einfach mal Ideen zu machen und sich zu fragen: "Warum nicht?" anstatt "Warum?"
  • I liked that the trainer was very enthusiastic about his subject. It was easy to follow and engage in the interactive parts of the course. What I really loved was to be introduced to new thinking patterns and to try and work with a totally different perspective to the one I usually use as a base line!
  • Prof Hammer has a really enthusiastic personality who exactly knows how to teach the content in an interesting and involving way.
  • I can recommend this course to my colleagues. The instructor always emphasised us to see the broader picture of a problem which I feel to be very useful practice not only in business administration but also in academic setting and PhD project. It was quite an eye-opening and inspiring course.
