Zurich is Switzerland's main economic centre: banking, insurance, technology and European headquarters of international groups. Organisations are often matrix-structured and work in German and English.
In an insurer or a tech company's European headquarters, many results depend on people who do not report to you: credibility, alliances and argument replace formal authority.
On-site organisation: Sessions in Zurich, Winterthur or on your premises; delivery in German, English or French as required.
Zurich projects cross banks, insurers, technology businesses and international headquarters. The course builds evidence-based credibility and practical alliances in matrix structures.

What the influence Management Training in the canton of Zurich programme covers
The influence Management Training in the canton of Zurich 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 Zurich.
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.
