WHAT WE DO

At Stucki, we help companies transform at three levels; individual, team, and organization. We customize seminars and programs to equip and empower your leaders and teams to solve organizational challenges. Using our unique method of experiential learning, we create a safe environment to test and develop new behaviors and skills. Since 1984, our proven STUCKI Method® has driven real impact, fostering stronger ownership, collaboration, and performance

“Empowering people is our passion.”

OUR SERVICES

Leadership Expertise

At Stucki, we believe that leadership can be learned and developed. By taking a human-centric approach, we encourage leaders to explore new dimensions of leadership and self-discovery.

Focusing on transformative leadership, we design action-oriented activities that develop leadership skills in dynamic, interactive settings. These hands-on simulations promote impactful learning, critical thinking, and skill enhancement. Our seminars are tailored for all leadership levels, from junior managers to senior executives, always aligned with your company’s objectives.

Team Development

No two teams are the same, but we equip them with the right tools and mindsets to unlock their potential. We empower teams to actively contribute to the overall success of the organization. Through our action-oriented activities, individuals learn to foster a more collaborative and self-sufficient team environment. By guiding teams through a process that includes orientation, trust-building, alignment of objectives, commitment, and implementation, we help them quickly and successfully evolve into high-performance teams.

Organisational Transformation

Change is a deeply human process. At Stucki, we maintain a human-centric approach to maximize the impact of change, integrating all levels of the organization, creating real ownership of new strategies, and cascading the change from the C-suite to the factory floor.

Alternatively, we support self-organized teams by developing skills in autonomy, decision-making, and harnessing collective wisdom, fostering a more agile and productive work environment.

Based on your transformation strategy, we define clear objectives and facilitate the discussion process, but we don’t deliver strategy content. We help break down silos and reduce competition within the company. Through our action-oriented activities, we achieve maximum alignment and collaboration between individuals and teams. Organizational change requires cultural transformation and a mindset shift. We also offer ambassador training in resilience, sustainability, and diversity.

About US

In 1984, while guiding high alpine tours in the Swiss Alps, Robert Stucki identified a gap between the practical requirements of leadership and the theoretical approaches taught in management schools.

 

Drawing on his combined experience as a mountain guide and a leader in an engineering company, he pioneered the development of action-oriented learning activities to bridge this gap. This led to the founding of Stucki Leadership and Team Development AG, where experiential learning became the core of the company’s mission.

 

Driven by passion, dedication, and innovation, the company developed the tried-and-tested Stucki Method®.

Stucki Leadership & Team Development

The Team

We are passionate in everything we do and maintian a human-centred approach. Our diverse team of trainers brings a wealth of training, life experience, and technical expertise. With empathy, authenticity, and the courage to address what matters when it matters, they embody our Stucki culture. This culture is rooted in an agile, can-do attitude and a deep commitment to quality and lifelong learning.

Our vision

Empowering people is our passion.

THE STUCKI METHOD® – Our Approach

Over the past 40 years, we have steadily developed a unique approach— the Stucki Method®. Based on a tried-and-tested framework of action-oriented learning, we focus on four phases: Activity, Observation, Reflection, and Transfer.

This structured approach ensures our seminars are immersive, memorable, and impactful, with learning that is both relatable and transferable to your business challenges. The key to our successful seminars lies in turning these learnings into actionable plans, with real commitment and ownership from all participants.

Action / Simulation

We ensure a memorable experience pushing you to your limits – but never beyond.

Observation

The essential is often invisible to the eye; it needs to be observed through experience and action.

Reflection

Action without reflection is merely fun. When paired with reflection, it leads to deep, substantive learning that can be applied to real business challenges.

Transfer

We leverage proven theoretical models to translate learnings into actionable behaviours that impact everyday life and challenges. We use only as much theory as necessary, with a clear focus on implementation.

«impressed by the flexibility and specific knowledge of the trainers.»

One of the challenges facing SKAN is the management of the extreme growth. Stucki very effectively supported and assisted the management in the development of the team and the “strategy 2025″. The Stucki trainers quickly grasped our challenges, the cultural environment and the individuals involved in the process. They helped and enabled the managing executives to focus and develop into a “high performing team”. In designing the team development process and the strategy workshops, I was impressed by the flexibility and specific knowledge of the trainers. When processes came to a standstill, they adapted the program to our needs in a quick an agile way. I found the trainers empathetic, grounded and professional. The series of workshops always took place in a constructive, respectful and trusting atmosphere. We will gladly continue our cooperation with Stucki, including support in the area of leadership development Training.

«I see Stucki’s method as a groundbreaking way to focus people’s energy.»

Stucki provided us with excellent and competent support both in merging teams and in the context of a major change project. The new teams were immediately capable of action and harmonized well. Stucki’s action-oriented approach met with a very good response and a high level of acceptance from all superiors and employees across the hierarchy. Results were quickly visible. The training and the subsequent visible implementation of measures were the basis for stability, focus, security and optimism in the supported teams. I see Stucki’s method as a groundbreaking way to focus people’s energy and motivation and to show them new ways. Stucki convinces through tasks that are specifically geared to the situation and through professional trainers with the gift for clear feedback.

«Stucki is by far one of the most comprehensive outdoor leadership providers.»

In my various Talent & Leadership roles I have had the pleasure to work with outdoor experiential leadership providers around the world.
Stucki is by far one of the most comprehensive outdoor leadership providers. The team quickly listened to our needs, aligned to, and incorporated, our goals and values into our event design and activities. This brought to life, in an outdoor setting, universal leadership challenges which participants could grapple and learn about, in a safe and fun environment. Through thoughtfully facilitated debriefs the participants are able to readily apply their learnings to their day to day corporate leadership challenges.
Thank you Stucki for bringing leadership theory to life.

«The Stucki team did an excellent job.»

The Stucki team did an excellent job of designing and moderating our management workshop in a way that was tailored to our needs and our management culture. The healthy mix of theory and practice was very effective for our managers. Several months after the seminar, a follow-up was conducted. We were pleased to see that the managers were consciously implementing what they had learned and their personal transfer goals in their day-to-day management.

«It was another great collaboration for which I am very grateful.»

I’ve known Stucki for 20 years, and we recently launched our ABB cultural leadership development program, ” Come to the Edge,” together. The outdoor activities were innovative, yet true metaphors for our corporate values. They will be forever remembered by our top 200 leaders and serve as a compass for the leadership behaviors expected of all of us at ABB. The authentic and human approach to learning, as well as the vast experience of the Stucki coaches, enabled me to fully trust them in the delivery of the program. It was another great collaboration for which I am very grateful.

«We became much more efficient as a team»

20 years ago, I completed my first team seminar with Robert Stucki with a group of branch managers. Thanks to many challenging and practical exercises, we became much more efficient as a team back then. Over the years, I have done seminars with a wide variety of groups with Robert Stucki’s team and also worked on challenging topics at management level. Personally, I have benefited a lot both as a participant and in the preparation and discussion of the seminars and can highly recommend the seminars.

«They were able to propose innovative solutions»

I have had the pleasure of associating with Stucki over the past year and a half, when we partnered with them to create and deliver a world class, outbound experiential cultural transformation program aimed at our top 200 leaders.
Impactful program design starts with asking powerful questions. Stucki’s team consisting of Robert and Bernard, did exactly that, and this helped us clarify and articulate the true objectives for the program. Their contribution to design and development was invaluable too. They were able to propose innovative solutions that were founded in Adult Learning methodology and Mind-Brain Research. Their pedagogical approach was a breath of fresh air from the commoditized offerings one sees in Learning these days. They followed it up with superlative delivery, facilitation, and infrastructure management.
I look forward to continuing our association with them going forward, and have no reservations in recommending their services.

«fostering a strong sense of group cohesion and corporate identity»

To further solidify the understanding and application of our Hitachi Energy Leadership Pillars, which where co-created with our people, an advanced leadership program for our top 60 leaders in collaboration with Stucki Leadership & Team Development was designed. This seminar was instrumental in enhancing our leaders’ comprehension of their roles within Hitachi Energy, providing practical experiences where the four leadership pillars were essential, and fostering a strong sense of group cohesion and corporate identity.

Stucki Leadership & Team Development proved to be an exceptionally professional partner, adept at facilitating growth by both challenging and encouraging our leaders. Their expertise significantly contributed to the development of our leadership team. I wholeheartedly recommend Stucki to any organization seeking excellence in leadership, transformation, and team development.

«A partner who puts people at the center»

I am a change and communication expert at Bosch Power Tools and have been working in the field of organizational development for 20 years. From 2014 to 2019, I served as the change manager for the centralization project “OneAccounting@Bosch” in the Central Finance and Accounting Department. Together with Bernhard Reber and the team, I developed and implemented a change concept that included a global change agent network and a train-the-trainer approach. The methods we used were effective and left positive memories among the participants. The trusting collaboration and learning from Bernhard have had a lasting impact on me, and I continue to apply these methods today successfully.
