Practical crisis management training thanks to solid partnership

Luzern (LU) — The Swiss Armed Forces are crisis management professionals. This is why the Institute for Management Development (IMD) has been working with the Swiss Armed Forces since 2015. 54 participants completed a crisis management training course as part of the Executive Master of Business Administration. As members of the management team in a drill involving a fictitious airline, they had to cope with various crisis situations - usually several at the same time. To accomplish this, they learnt how to apply the leadership skills of the Swiss Armed Forces. What started out as a chaotic mess ended with real added value for the civilian managers.
