Abstract

This is a German version. This is part of a case series. The case puts the students in the role of Matthias Etter, Head of Learning, Development & Change at Allianz Suisse Insurance Company Ltd. Etter is part of a team that has been commissioned to develop and implement a new value system for Allianz Suisse. The (A) case of the three-part case series puts the students in the position to advance the started process of value implementation and to develop their own ideas and prepare them for the manage-ment. The organizational development process is divided into three phases, 'Develop', 'Implement' and 'Live', and extends over three to four years as planned. In the (A) case, the first two phases are outlined with the task of designing the 'life' phase. The shock comes in the (B) case when the Munich-based company gives instructions that the new global CEO also includes a global system of values, the Allianz People Attributes. After the students have chosen one of three alternatives for this shock, the (C) case resolves what actually happened at Allianz Suisse and what activities still followed.
