Success Stories
Bert F., CEO, 6.500 employees, Germany
My CFO is brilliant, and I trust him completely. Nevertheless, or perhaps precisely because of this, I wanted to understand my company figures myself, too. My concern was that my CFO might interpret any question as a sign of distrust.
After a short preliminary talk, I went to VIMS with my notebook, where a selected financial expert showed me on my own company program which buttons to press to see and interpret certain important numbers immediately.
In a final coaching session with another expert, I worked out methods on how to “control” my CFO in such a way that he sees it as appreciation. This has worked excellently for years. I am very satisfied with my consulting and support from VIMS.
Sabine H., Owner, 750 employees, Switzerland
I had to take over my company from one day to the next after the sudden death of my father. In addition to the professional overload, there was the feeling that my employees were not taking me seriously.
My contact with Vienna International Management School proved to be my most valuable legacy. I was able to come up with the current topics and VIMS always found the right experts who guided me sensitively and patiently through the rapids.
Today, my company is on solid ground, a mountain of debt of several million has been paid off and, in contrast to the surrounding area, I have enough qualified specialists.
Herbert W., GM, 125 employees, Austria
My architectural office was doing well, the sales were okay, and yet I had a bad feeling. At VIMS, I did a potential analysis that contrasted my self-image with the external image of me. This was followed by the analysis of the outcome with an expert, who showed me my possible fields of development.
I decided to focus on my leadership skills first because I had not been interested in this area before. With regular professional training and support at VIMS, I found joy and fun in leadership, and I noticed how my employees also flourished.
