Maciej Herman
Managing Director
ICAN Institute's team supported us in carrying out our organizational culture transformation. Today we cooperate more effectively with each other and are not afraid of change. We are also much more responsive to customer needs. For me personally, ICAN helped to develop my managerial skills.

Pratt & Whitney Kalisz Sp. z o.o.
Jacek Kwiecinski
Human Resources Director, Board Member
Over 16 years, we have benefited from a number of programs - closed programs, prepared specifically for our company's needs, and open ones (e.g. First-Time Manager™, Management™, Strategic Leadership Academy™). Thanks to access to the latest global knowledge and contacts with experts representing different points of view, our managers have gained valuable knowledge in innovation management and managing in an ever-changing reality. This has allowed us to build an agile and flexible company, as well as prepare for future challenges.
Habasit Poland Sp. z o.o.
Grzegorz Rutkowski
General Manager
Participation in Management was a time of self-reflection for me, thanks to which I learned where I was in my professional life and what I could change in it. The class gave me the impetus to make changes - we defined the strategy for the next few years, changed sales structures, processes for achieving goals, focused on lean management, a culture of engagement and employee satisfaction. We made changes faster, without unnecessary mistakes, and last year's decisions are bearing fruit today. We ended the year with a really good financial result.
Unity Group
Grzegorz Kuczynski
CEO
The Strategic Leadership Academy™ showed us which areas of strategic management are our strengths and which need to be developed. E.g., the concept of ambidextrous organization helped us to deploy investments for sustaining innovations (in areas that are traditional for us, such as building e-commerce solutions, integrating systems or digitizing processes) and to start investments that have breakthrough potential (e.g., the machine learning start-up UPSAILY). Once the various solutions are implemented, the entire company benefits from the program.
NextApps
Michal Olczak
CEO
Management™ far exceeds the standards familiar to me from my master's and doctoral studies. After each class, my team and I implemented the solutions we learned. I gained a new strategic perspective. We introduced a more measured and agile approach to management, using the OKR method, cashflow analysis, EBITDA and sustainable marketing, among others. We have optimized priority projects and ways to finance them. I constantly return to the class materials to inspire the team to expand their knowledge.
Aplitt sp. z o.o
Marek Litzbarski
Vice President
Each of the 10 sessions of the Strategic Leadership Academy™ program carried valuable and useful content, and the meetings addressed our needs and pain points. Immediately after the training, we adopted at Aplitt the multi-stakeholder platforms learned in the sessions, the lean startup method, and the innovation culture, all of which are producing noticeable results. It is important that entire Boards of Directors participate in this training. The knowledge gained together definitely strengthens understanding and facilitates decision-making related to building a company's growth path.
SPLAST
Marek Sanocki
Vice President
I have been working with ICAN Institute for many years and have participated in several editions of annual programs. Each time it was a strong support in the process of management and personal development. During the ICAN Neuroleadership Academy™ I learned new management techniques and ways to solve problems, achieve goals, communicate or deal with myself as a leader: my emotions, mechanisms of action and thinking. Certainly, this knowledge will translate into my personal development, as well as that of the whole team.
