What Our Clients Say
“Strategic alignment is one of the essences of success, especially in a complex matrix organization. Our strategy seminar series with Rochester-Bern has led us to meaningful structures, efficient execution, and higher motivation: Today, everyone knows his/her role in delivering value to the consumer.”
“The Business Management Curriculum (BMC) is truly an experience that mixes theory and practice. It really helps me to step aside from my daily work and analyze matters from a different perspective. Tailoring the course to Fresenius Medical Care business and sharing experiences with other colleagues is a big plus. I am convinced that the BMC will help me to develop my professional career.”
“It is the art to deliver complex content in simple words. It is the energy to engage the student. It is the heart to give results. The art, the energy and the heart – is what Rochester-Bern puts into Fresenius BMC. It engages emotionally, develops the deeper sense of care and devotion towards Fresenius, and provides new knowledge and tools, which I can apply within Fresenius both for the company – and my own self-development. The professors are pros. The classes are dynamic and interactive. Rochester-Bern implements its vision – the BMC is indeed changing the way I think.”
“The program offers high-performing employees at UBS Wealth Management the opportunity to acquire in-depth and actionable expertise in managing client wealth, client relationships, client portfolio, and business risks. It gives the skills and know-how they need to master the growing challenges facing both wealthy clients and the wealth management industry. I am very proud to see that the work we are doing to upskill and develop employees is bearing fruit. This program is setting new standards of excellence.”
