KLU educates leaders and change-makers with a strong operations mindset. All of our programs are taught in English and aim to foster this so-called operations mindset to enhance decision-making by systematically assessing and optimizing the functioning of any type of organization. At KLU, you learn to think strategically while being attentive to details to continuously improve your organization. Effective (team) leadership and communication are also on KLU’s curricula. You will develop a problem-solving orientation and boost your time and resource management skills. These are just some of the competencies and skills you will develop by acquiring the very special KLU operations mindset to responsibly and sustainably excel as future international leaders and change-makers. 

From general to international management, from digital transformation, entrepreneurship & value creation, to sustainability, our programs cover a wide range of topics. Strongly supported by the Kühne Foundation, a special focus is given to supply chain management (SCM) and logistics, which serves as the philosophical groundwork of KLU’s operations mindset. Likely rather unknown, supply chains make up for around 10% of the world’s GDP and, at the same time, are the source of more than 10% of global CO2 emissions. Therefore, they provide plenty of opportunities to have a real and significant impact during your professional career. Companies like Adidas, Amazon, and Apple – to mention just a few – are obsessed with their supply chains and logistics.

At KLU, we believe that a strong operations mindset is your key to success. All our programs will teach you how to acquire such a mindset and strengthen the skills that allow you to excel in your future career. 

Almost everything that you see around you are brought to you by a supply chain. Logistics and SCM do permeate everything. Why is that the case? And how can you use it to make a positive and sustainable impact in this world?
