What the influence Management Training in the canton of Bern programme covers
The influence Management Training in the canton of Bern programme is designed for managers, executives and key contributors who want to turn influence management into everyday practice. Content is built around real situations from your organisation rather than generic case studies, so that each session connects directly with the decisions your teams face in the canton of Bern.
Core themes typically include: Stakeholder mapping; Credibility and legitimacy; Alliances and persuasion. Each theme is adapted after a scoping conversation with your HR team and the sponsoring manager, so that the programme addresses the gaps you actually observe.
A method grounded in research and practice
Our approach combines short theoretical inputs drawn from peer-reviewed research, practical exercises, role plays and structured feedback. Participants work on their own cases, test new behaviours in a safe setting and leave with concrete commitments they can apply the following week.
Between sessions, short assignments help anchor what has been learned. A follow-up review a few weeks later measures what has changed in practice and identifies where further support is useful.
