GDI Impact Leadership Programme 2024
Developing the Next C-Suite Leaders
The Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute (GDI) has the pleasure of launching the GDI Impact Leadership Programme (ILP), developed in cooperation with IGDS. A unique programme for department store executives only, it is addressing the needs of this retail sector and the complexity of its business model.
