Case Study: Deutsche Lufthansa achieves transparent, group-wide executive development and succession planning with Lumesse Talent Management

Dynamic Executive Development at Lufthansa Nurtures Groups Human Resource Potential

Deutsche Lufthansa AG, a global aviation group operating around 400 companies across five business segments with Passenger Transportation at its core, faced a lack of transparency and the ability to compare and quantitatively analyze management potential across the group. Manual processes made it difficult to spot upcoming vacancies, assess talent against job requirements, and align leadership competencies with strategic needs.

Lufthansa implemented Lumesse Talent Management as its “Structure” executive development system — a web-based, configurable solution integrated with SAP and rolled out top-down across divisions. The central database now holds competency and performance data for roughly 1,200 executives and junior managers, enabling ad‑hoc analyses, candidate rankings, shortage/excess projections, succession planning and improved self-service updates, giving the company a transparent, steerable view of its management potential.
