Building Leaders for Global Growth

with Infineon Technologies’ Leadership Development Program

A leadership development program

Since 2022, the collaboration between Relevance Learning and Infineon Technologies serves as a proof to the power of well-designed leadership development programs. Within a rapidly changing and competitive world, a consistent leadership style across countries is needed to make a global, yet local, impact. By addressing specific challenges and leveraging a blended learning approach, this innovative learning program fosters a modern, diversified and professional way of learning, helping leaders to thrive in their daily work and to be optimally prepared for future challenges.

At Infineon Technologies, a major player in the semiconductor industry, roughly 10% of their 58,000 employees worldwide are leaders. In the last few years, the company has experienced rapid growth alongside growing challenges and complexity in leadership combined with a new way of (individual) learning preferences. Therefore, the need was identified to develop the next generation of leadership development programs, an innovative approach, and a state-of-the-art methodology to convey knowledge and enable leaders to manage the complexity of a globalized and fast-paced industry.

WHAT WE DID
A global custom-made program, focussed on 3 levels of leadership.
TIMELINE
Since 2022.

Key challenges in a changing leadership climate

Infineon identified several key challenges hindering their leadership development goals:

Challenge 1
Fragmented leadership styles

Leadership styles varied considerably across departments and regions, lacking a consistent approach.

Challenge 2
decentralized orchestration
The company desired a more centralized leadership development program across countries, with a common language, feedback style, and guiding principles.
Challenge 3
Prepared for the future
With a global market and workforce, fostering leaders with a global mindset and adaptability became paramount.

Programs designed to build our future leaders

To address these challenges of a changing leadership climate, and to build training journeys for different experience levels (from new leaders to seniors leaders), Relevance developed a comprehensive Leadership Development Program consisting of three distinct programs:
