excitement, the intention to get things done, the illuminating moments, courage,
self-confidence, the art collection
... and of course our dear customers and partners.

incomprehensible hurrying and unnecessary
scrabbling.

Dependent on the continuing changes in the world and on the other hand originated form the new know-how and skills, SELF renewed the development programs of the Leaders and Consultants.
