GEA Group Academy
The virtual GEA Corporate University (GEA Group Academy) created in 1999 provides GEA Group specific management training and development guided by GEA Group strategies. It is the policy of the GEA Group Academy to promote change in the organization in response to competing markets. It is an essential tool to teach cross-segmental corporate knowledge and expertise and contributes to setting global standards in the organization. The Steering Committee of the GEA Group Academy and its control by the Executive Board of the company ensure the Academy’s focus on strategic change in the Group. Facing changing challenges, the GEA Group Academy agreed to an active learning alliance with the Kienbaum Consultants International GmbH in 2009. The GEA Group Academy is now able to provide its executives with access to a highly effective range of services and tools:
- Researched and well-proven management knowledge
- Advances and experience in the application of system-oriented management theory
- Decades of experience in targeted executive and staff training
- Where desired systematic backup of learning transfer by coaching and by consulting experts until the transfer has been completed
The target group of the GEA Group Academy consists of senior managers, the middle management level and select young talents. The themes addressed are determined by strategic challenges and future competences needed by the GEA Group. The GEA Group Academy is thus a virtual organization for a group of staff who hold already decision-making and leadership functions.
