Alpiq: Co-creating the future

By Susan Goldsworthy and Nancy Lane
Case reference: IMD-2671 ©2025

Summary

When Antje Kanngiesser became CEO of Swiss energy company ALPIQ, she inherited a traditional culture, weary from restructuring and leadership churn. Partnering with IMD Professor Susan Goldsworthy, she launched a Secure Base Leadership program to unite leaders and co-create the future. The results were positive: Alumni became Coaching Ambassadors, SBL was embedded into processes, and executives were trained as coaches. Via a five-day program that became a company-wide movement, ALPIQ transformed culture by making leadership personal, shared and lived daily.
