Companies are trying to meet increasingly heterogeneous and individual customer requirements by increasing the number of variants. In addition to the increasing functionality of products due to the increased integration of different technologies, this leads to highly complex product programs. In order to master the growing product complexity in companies successfully and in a customer-oriented manner, the Complexity Management Academy has developed an executive program with the certificate course “Managing Product Complexity”, which answers individual questions on the sustainable and economic anchoring of complexity management in the corporate structure. The course is divided into the modules fundamentals and strategies of complexity management, mastering external (market-side) and internal (company-side) complexity as well as the organizational anchoring of complexity management. The objective is to impart key skills for managers in development and sales areas. To this end, experts from industry and research highlight current trends and developments in complexity management and use case studies and exercises to convey state-of-the-art methods and knowledge for efficient work. The course also creates a network between participants and speakers.
