Crisis prevention in the social economy: new online training from KVJS and oeconos

At a glance

The series is aimed specifically at leaders – managing directors, facility and division managers as well as those with economic responsibility. In five compact online sessions, the focus is not on theory for its own sake, but on concrete tools, an honest assessment of where you stand and, at the end, an individual mini crisis-prevention plan for your own organisation. The training follows on from the very well-received series „Social media for inclusion companies“.

Economic crises announce themselves. Those who know the early warning signals gain the decisive room for manoeuvre.

Why crisis prevention – and why now

Liquidity bottlenecks, collapsing revenue sources or rising staff costs often appear months before they become a threat to survival. This is exactly where the series comes in: it provides a clear understanding of how crises arise, the stages through which they progress and the levers that leaders can adjust early on – economically sound, yet consistently tailored to the reality of social institutions.

What the five modules convey

A key added value lies in the confidential exchange among leaders who face comparable challenges. Every participant leaves the series with a working document that can be transferred directly into their own management.

Schedule & dates

The training takes place entirely online via Microsoft Teams, each Wednesday from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.:

Session	Date	Topic
1	30 Sept 2026	Industry reality & risk situation
2	07 Oct 2026	Understanding crises: stages & dynamics
3	14 Oct 2026	Strengthening sales & positioning
4	21 Oct 2026	Cost management & resilience
5	28 Oct 2026	Diversification & crisis-prevention plan
6	27 Jan 2027	Implementation in the organisation (optional)

The optional sixth session, around three months later, serves to reflect on and refine the implementation in your own organisation. The dates listed are a proposal; the final scheduling is agreed with those registered. The two oeconos series on crisis prevention and AI take place one after the other, not in parallel.

Costs & funding

This is made possible by KVJS funding via the Integration Office: initially, the regular participation fee of around €1,250 net per person is invoiced; after the series is completed, KVJS reimburses 80% of it. Inclusion companies outside Baden-Württemberg are also welcome – here the full fee applies, and funding via the respective responsible Integration Office must be clarified independently.

Who will benefit from taking part

The series is aimed at everyone who bears economic responsibility in social institutions and inclusion companies and wants to prepare for uncertain times. No prior knowledge is required – the series starts in a practical way and meets all participants where they are. The time commitment remains manageable for leaders: five hours spread over several weeks, plus the optional follow-up.
