On December 5, the students from the MBA program at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management had the opportunity to gain invaluable insights into strategy execution from Dr. Dieter Kahling, Corporate Vice President Group Financial Controlling at Henkel. Prior to the guest lecture, Professor Utz Schäffer and the students had an in-depth discussion on the Harvard Business School teaching case “Henkel: Building a Winning Culture” about the Kasper Rorsted years at Henkel. Dr. Dieter Kahling then complemented this discussion in an engaging way by sharing with our students his learnings and experiences on fifteen years of transformation, strategic change, and strategy execution at Henkel from an insider’s perspective.
Thank you, Dr. Dieter Kahling, for taking the time to visit us on our Düsseldorf campus and sharing your thoughts!
