Basel is a global hub for pharmaceuticals and life sciences, with Rhine logistics and international R&D teams. Work often spans the borders with France and Germany.
In a pharmaceutical R&D team or a Rhine logistics company, matrix structures multiply reporting lines: managers must influence without hierarchical authority and arbitrate between competing priorities.
On-site organisation: Sessions in Basel or on your site; delivery in German or English for international research teams.

What the managing Complexity Training in the canton of Basel-City programme covers
The managing Complexity Training in the canton of Basel-City programme is designed for managers, executives and key contributors who want to turn managing complexity 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 Basel-City.
Core themes typically include: Leadership matriciel; Influence sans autorité; Résilience au changement. 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.
