Our goal is your professional development: organisations today face the challenge of balancing stability, efficiency and innovation. Whilst large corporations can draw on specialised units, in many other organisations these issues fall directly under the remit of senior management. Managers are therefore seeking meaningful dialogue – with experts, academics and other practitioners.
The Integrated Management Lab at the Center for Leadership & Innovation in Society (CLIS-HSG) at the University of St.Gallen offers a long-term platform for this purpose. It combines academic insights with practical experience and a societal perspective, fostering an ongoing dialogue on issues of transformation, resilience and the future viability of organisations.
A central element of the Lab are the Impact Groups. These facilitate a structured and regular exchange between Lab members and promote joint reflection as well as the development of concrete solutions to current challenges in integrated management.
Target audience
Members of the Lab are organisations and leaders who are actively engaged with issues relating to integrated management and are willing to contribute their experiences to a shared learning and development process. Membership of the Lab is a prerequisite for participation in the Impact Groups.

Regular dialogue in Impact Groups with representatives from academia, practice and society on current issues and specific challenges.
Reflection
Joint exploration of key topics such as transformation, resilience and the future viability of organisations.

Lab Structure
The Integrated Management Lab is designed as a long-term platform and is funded by contributions from industry partners. As lead partner, the St. Gallen Society for Integrated Management supports in particular the development of the network and the exchange between academia and practice.
Membership
Participation in the Impact Groups requires membership of the Integrated Management Lab. Members contribute to the financing of activities and, in return, benefit from access to the platform, the network and the exchange and development formats.
