His vision is to get to the heart of crucial issues in business and society in an inspiring, critical, and constructive way. To question, to think anew, and to show how we can positively shape our future.

Academically sound and practical at the same time, the latest scientific findings and exciting case studies of European, American, and Asian organizations are combined with Fabian Hänle’s more than 16 years of experience as a senior executive in international business.

In addition to the internal view in case studies, he adopts an external view, comments on and places challenges, trends, and opportunities in a global context. In this way, his audiences are inspired anew and topics that are crucial for their future are presented in a refreshingly understandable and motivating way. Worldwide.
