Modeled after courses in Sweden, Bonnier Corporation in the U.S. works to develop its own leaders.

Bonnier Corporation in the U.S. has begun a leadership course designed after Bonnier Sweden's Bonnier Media University. "The ongoing development of  management team - from the lower and middle levels to the top executives - is one of the strongest beliefs, and biggest priorities, at Bonnier Corporation," says Terry Snow, CEO.

The international program is the biggest investment Bonnier has made in leadership on a top level ever. CEO Jonas Bonnier's message is clear: "No single task is more important than to make sure that we have the best possible people in key positions. We must retain talent by continuously providing them with inspiration, challenges and the possibility of a career within the Group."

What happens when sales, marketing, editorial, circulation and online staff get together to brainstorm ideas at Bonnier Corporation? BMU's Elisabeth Palombo talks about recent workshops in the U.S.

When Elisabeth Palombo arrived at Bonnier Corporation in Florida, there was no question about what she could do. Palombo, who works for Bonnier Media University in Stockholm (BMU) at Bonnier AB, was on an extended visit to Bonnier Corporation to investigate how BMU could operate in the U.S. market. After talking with Bonnier Corporation CEO Terry Snow, it was obvious that her experience could immediately be put to use.

Geppert made the job change thanks to the GROW program.

"I'd never been to Europe and I'd heard so much about how big Bonnier is in Sweden, I wanted to learn for myself," Geppert says.
