DURATION OF MASTERCLASSES AND FLEXIBILITY

Each of our masterclasses may be conducted over a minimum of 8 hours. For live events at your location or ours, this is typically done in 1 full day, for example 9am to 5pm.

For live-virtual masterclass requests, each masterclass may be conducted either all at once over the course of one full 8-hour day, or presented over multiple sessions (minimum 1 hour each).

To complete all 3 innovation masterclasses that cover all the spokes of the Wheel of Innovation™, we recommend you book Mr. Blass for a 3-day masterclass to give your audience an unparalleled learning experience and competitive advantage.

Some of our clients “want it all” but have a limited budget, so Alexander also offers a 1-day accelerated masterclass that covers all 3 spokes/modules of the Wheel of Innovation™. However, for the best experience and learning outcomes for your audience, we highly recommend our standard format masterclasses whenever possible.

أنا الرئيس المؤسس لجمعية البحرين لتطوير الابتكار. سعدت اليوم بلقاء ألكسندر بلاس وحضور ندوته. بالطبع كانت الندوة تفاعلية ومفيدة للغاية للحضور. هناك حوالي 180 شخصًا يشاركون ومحتويات الندوة إعلامية وغنية بالمعلومات. أوصي به للطلاب والشركات والموظفين وكل من يسعى إلى تغيير وتحسين وتحسين حياتهم أو أعمالهم بشكل فعال ومعرفة المزيد حول كيفية القيام بذلك

“Acabo de salir de una de las presentaciones a que en realidad me han impactado más en todas estas congresos a los que he venido. Oh, sorpresa que me llevé porque pensé que a modo iba a ser lo mismo acerca de innovación y de liderazgo. Pero esta presentación en realidad llegó a mí. Alexander llegó a la parte intelectual, a la parte de crecimiento profesional y a la parte personal, a esa parte del corazón."

“Telecom companies feel they are too big and complex to innovate at the same rate as some of the challengers. To solve that problem we hired Alexander Blass. He did a keynote presentation for us… and it was exactly what our members needed. It was definitely a breath of fresh air, something they’ve never seen before. Later on we had a masterclass with Alexander. A huge success… highly recommended!”
