St.Gallen Board Conference

On Friday, 20th October 2023 the St.Gallen Board Conference takes place, where Tomi Laamanen from our institute takes part as speaker. In view of the tectonic shifts affecting global economies today, Tomi Laamanen will reflect on how much modern boards should be involved in shaping corporate strategy. How can the board find the right balance and what strategic capabilities must board members bring to the table?

The conference has been designed for like-minded peers who seek to have insightful debates on latest trends in corporate governance and boardroom best practices, and for those who seek to pursue inspiring encounters with experienced non-executive directors.

A recently published Case study of Prof. Christoph Lechner and Theresa Maria Seehofer about Helvetia’s #businessecosystem transforming it from a traditional #insurance provider into a customer-journey dreams, allows students to gain insights into the #insuranceindustry. By working with the #casestudy, students will gain knowledge on three levels. First, students are introduced to the concept of an #ecosystem in general (description). Second, they analyze the business ecosystem of Helvetia Insurance Group (Helvetia Versicherungen Gruppe) in particular (analysis). Third, students envision the options available to Helvetia’s ecosystem in the future (transfer).
