Institute for Leadership Culture in the Digital Age

The Institute for Leadership Culture in the Digital Age (IFIDZ) researches and promotes leadership and management culture in the age of digitalization. It analyzes and defines the new challenges that leaders face today. Based on this, the institute develops tools to cope with these challenges and sustainably enhance digital as well as leadership maturity.

Reimagining leadership. Empowering people. Shaping the future.

With Alpha Intelligence, we develop leaders who are needed tomorrow - not just on paper, but in real life. For a future that demands more than knowledge: courage, values, and the ability to effectively deal with uncertainty.
