The Custom Team of the Executive School of the University of St. Gallen wins the Silver Award of the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD).
The 2023 «Excellence in Practice» competition awards outstanding and impactful learning and development partnerships in the field of executive education. The award demonstrates the strength and potential of the HSG to further build executive education as an important pillar. The jury of the more than 50 cases considers particularly the sustainable business impacted generated by the program, both for individual leaders as well as for the organization.
The “Horizon” program for the largest Finish pharmaceutical company Orion has substantially boosted the company’s growth and innovation ambition visibly underlining HSG’s claim “From Insight to Impact”. It shows the quality and competitiveness of HSG’s executive education, also at an international level. The 4-module program at different international locations including India had the objective to develop Orion’s leaders to become “ambidextrous leaders” making a real difference to the profitable company growth.
The award ceremony will be held at the annual EFMD conference in St. Gallen in October. EFMD is the largest international network association in the field of management development. The Custom Team has already won a silver award (with Porsche) and gold award (with Lonza) in the past years.
