In this episode of Inside Flight Levels, Dr. Klaus Leopold (Creator of Flight Levels), Dr. Siegfried Kaltenecker (Co-Creator of Flight Levels, Managing Director at Loop Organisationsberatung), and Markus Brandl (Co-Founder of Flight Levels) discuss what makes the Flight Levels Professional Program (FLPP) so unique—and why it is more relevant today than ever.

At the center of the conversation are the two sides of the Flight Levels coin:

• Improvement Design (the change work)

How to set up targeted improvement initiatives, clarify the case for action, involve stakeholders, define stages, and use formats such as contracting, feedback loops, and the “you never fly alone” principle to create real movement in an organization.

• System Design (the technical side)

How to design work systems with Flight Levels so that strategy actually turns into execution, cross-team delivery works, and company-wide collaboration doesn’t get stuck in PowerPoint slides.

The three discuss how the former FLC evolved into today’s Flight Levels Professional Program: moving away from slide-based training toward a learning system built around real-world application. Participants work with their own contexts, go through individual sessions, group work, and plenary discussions, receive close feedback from Klaus, Sigi, and their peers, and refine their existing competencies—both technical and social.
Key concepts include the chameleon posture, the T-shaped professional, and the idea of expanding your portfolio rather than collecting yet another certificate.

You’ll also learn:
• How the blended coaching model works—self-paced material, videos, Miro boards, and “off-the-shelf” workshop modules combined with targeted sparring,
• Why organizations today don’t need “framework installers” but pragmatic professionals who can precisely address concrete problems (strategy execution, delivery capability, AI integration, etc.),
• Which prerequisites you should bring (Flight Levels Core workshops) and what a typical 2–3 month learning journey looks like,
• What the Flight Levels Professional Membership offers: access to the complete library of materials, continuous development, community events, and visibility as a trusted expert in effective organizational steering with Flight Levels.

In short:
After the FLPP, you’ll be able to combine Improvement Design and System Design in a way that enables lightweight, effective organizational steering in your context—without heavy transformation frameworks, but with real results.
