History
Company foundation 1975
In the beginning, there was the idea of enabling people to develop throughout their lives. In 1975, the psychologist Dr. Arnold Kitzmann founded the renowned Management Institute Dr. A. Kitzmann in Münster. He began with three self-conceived training topics, which were taught in individual coaching sessions. Over the years, this developed into a company whose core business is the further training of specialists and executives.
The institute grows
In-house training courses are held throughout the DACH and Benelux regions and on the Internet as in-house online seminars. These are tailored courses for individual companies. In addition, courses are now held in open form at 16 locations - including cities such as Amsterdam, Brussels, Vienna, Zurich, Warsaw. These courses can also be booked as online seminars.
New opportunities
Growing together is our motto. Together with our customers, but also with the new challenges. Like digital learning, flexible forms of work, modern business models. Many of our publications deal with these topics - which in turn gave rise to new seminar content. Since 2011, the open seminar business has been expanded more and more. Seven years later, in 2018, we succeeded in transferring our concept to other countries as well.
