Description
The MBA Master Transformation programme is strategically designed to equip leaders with a comprehensive understanding of global, organisational, and personal transformation, with a strong emphasis on driving innovation and competitiveness. In today’s dynamic business environment, transformation is largely shaped by key factors such as digitalisation, climate change, and evolving societal values. This programme systematically explores these drivers, enabling participants to analyse and design future business strategies and scenarios. Throughout the course of study, you will develop critical methodological, personal, and social competencies essential for leading and managing complex transformation processes within organisations, positioning businesses for sustainable growth and success.
What is special about the programme is its interdisciplinary approach. The students are supported in their studies by lecturers from six faculties of THWS as well as external experts. In the first semester, participants develop a fundamental understanding of why people find it so difficult to transform processes, structures, value propositions and/or business models under volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous conditions. Building on this, students can test leadership and management methods taught in the second semester in university projects before applying their understanding and knowledge of methods in transformation projects at organisations outside the university in the third semester.
