You are here: Programs & Courses » Mannheim Series for Executives
Our series of mostly one-day, interactive workshops for Executive MBA participants and alumni, the Mannheim Series for Executives (MSE), focuses on Leadership, Personal Development, Communication and Agility.
In order to give you greater flexibility and reduce pressure during the EMBA program, our MSE is a non-mandatory offer, and you can decide whether you want to attend during your program or after graduation. In completing a certain number of workshops on the different topics, you will have the opportunity to get an Agile Manager Certificate.
In February 2024, we offered 7 workshops running from 9am to 6pm each day. Please find more detailed information on the workshops below.
Our new modular system allows you obtain an Agile Manager Certificate by completing workshops in five areas. In order to receive the certificate, both "Agile Leadership for Business Managers" workshops and two workshops from each remaining module, namely leadership, communication, personal development and agile methods, are necessary. In other words, 10 workshops are needed to obtain the certificate.
Please keep in mind that you might attend workshops suiting to your individual schedule and preferences. No matter whether you chose workshops from the winter or summer editions of the MSEs, you will still be able to receive the Agile Manager Certificate.
