Testimonials

A change of perspective in fast mode: It is unbelievable in which short time I got an insight and understanding of the work of an insurance top executive. And it was great fun, too!!
Never before I got such a detailed insight into the economic impacts of singular decisions. The management workshop quite impressively shows to the theorist the hard realities of practice. This event is clearly among the best I attended in the past 25 years!
Very informative, interesting and exciting … like a good thriller. Sometimes you find the culprit, sometimes not!
