Bertelsmann University
Bertelsmann University is a virtual cross-divisional education platform for the Group’s executive management.
In close cooperation with select external partners, the University offers targeted programs for strategic business development, sets new impulses and provides executives with an opportunity to extend their personal leadership skills and resources. The University also serves as the cross-divisional learning network within our decentralized organization to provide continuity and support change.
The structure of the Bertelsmann University Curriculum reflects the Group’s decentralized structure. International Programs address themes that are relevant across national and organizational boundaries. These programs are organized and conducted in English and are available to participants from different countries.
Regional Programs, while sharing the same basic concept, emphasize regional topics and are conducted in the respective national language. The high degree of involvement from the Group’s executive board helps contribute to the success of Bertelsmann University.
Members of the board contribute personally to content development and participate regularly in the programs. This provides other participants with an opportunity to engage our senior management in a face-to-face discussion.
