We are developing methods and models to support professionals in practical problem situations. To al- low for a direct, continuous exchange between work experience on the one hand and research and teach- ing on the other hand, these activities should happen simultaneously. We therefore need to offer the pro- gram as a part-time program to allow participating Business Engineers to maintain their careers and stay involved in suitable change projects. If different knowledge areas are to be integrated (. different perspectives of ‘change’), a small faculty with shared vision and common background should work with students reflecting a broad range of dif- ferent industries.
