DKSH redefined its business model and changed from a trading company into a market expansion services provider. In the strategic implementation of this reorientation the DKSH Fantree Academy serves as a platform for learning, development and reflection. In a variety of workshops and trainings with senior management and the top talents the strategy was communicated, the implementation through the business units and national organisations was cast in concrete terms and strategic key initiatives were developed. The results are concrete entrepreneurial initiatives and determination in the implementation of the new strategy.
