Management Retreat Santenay
Gerrien Anbeek and Cint Kortmann offer an innovative concept of management training and retreat in Santenay, Burgundy; the MANAGEMENT RETRAITE. Distinctive is the acquisition of knowledge on topics such as digital transformation, big data and robotics in an inspiring environment, combined with accelerated leadership development. But we do more: By underpinning results and insights about where the organisation is going with smart tools and dashboards, we create instant value and competitive advantage. Leadership development goes deeper and teambuilding and cultural change are better anchored by a concrete spot on the horizon with data visualisation. Visits to leading and innovative wineries enhance the experience and wine tastings provide the necessary joy the vivre.
