Executive Forum & Executive Focus

The participants address real, important business issues in one of the companies (Forum) or focus on a common challenge (Focus).

Executive Forum:

Trusted dialogues with Chairmen of Boards, CEO's and Business Leaders from large international companies.
  • Invitation by recommendation
  • Chatham House rule
  • The oldest Forum is from 1978

Executive Focus:

When common challanges are identified in the Executive Forums we set up an Executive Focus (consortia). Exampels are:
  • Scarcity of People

Trust as the cornerstone

The level of trust required is built on participants’ broad experience, the highest standards of integrity, and a shared will to learn faster together and solve each other’s critical business challenges. The key principles for creating this trust are:

​​The good dialogue

In a dialogue, trust is not defined by one party alone – it is negotiated between all participants. If trust is absent, the dialogue becomes less effective and efficient, undermining outcomes. Safeguarding an honest and open dialogue is therefore at the forefront of facilitation.

Everything stays in the room

A cornerstone of trusting conversations is the shared experience of being in a “safe space,” where concerns, problems, solutions, and creative ideas can be openly shared without fear of later having to defend them “outside the room.” Utmost confidentiality is a key value for us – and for all participants.

Advise from equals

In the dialogue, real business situations, challenges, and opportunities are discussed and jointly reflected upon. Recommendations and proposals may be shared, but final decisions always remain with the individual executive in their own business. Decision-making is not part of the process – it takes place afterwards, “outside the room.”
