‘From strategic issue to involved implementation’

No long discussions, complex meetings and moths of deliberation. No consultants

and everlasting training sessions. NBDA and its Masterclass Method is there

for organisations, wishing to translate complex strategic issues into hands-on

plans in an effective and efficient way. Leading to successful implementation.

Together with those involved within the organisation as well as a external, well

experienced Master. Without chitchat and focused at direct results and

cooperation.

The concept of the method originates from the world of music. An individual

participant prepares for a particular Music-piece, which is performed during the

Masterclass session. The master and the other participants judge the

performance: the so called reversed learning experience.

Masterclasses carry a very strict program outline. Applying the cornerstones of

this concise method, intake, preparation and performance are conducted.

The Master is an authority, someone with a proven subject matter track record

for the Masterclass.

After the Masterclass the apotheoses takes place in a General Rehearsal. In this

stage the participants are presenting their final plan and approach. This

deliverable was developed and discussed during the Masterclass sessions.

The Masterclass is guided by an experienced manager, who is responsible for

intake and the Masterclass process, as well as the reporting about the

Masterclass.

In a Masterclass of NBDA the participant actually stays in his own

professional environment and mindset. Intervision and cooperation, directed by

the master and Masterclass Manager is leading to greater insights and

development. Theory is playing a minor role in this set-up. The participants are

playing a major role in transferring knowledge and experience to their fellow

participants.

NBDA believes that every talented and experienced manager,

executing a certain role, already is a Master to be.

Possibly in a number, otherwise in all aspects of his or her field of responsibility.

Being a master means, within the context of this Masterclass Method, that the

participant is willing and ready to share experiences and insights with others in

an open manner and is also willing to receive feedback from other participants.

The Masterclass always has three major components:

Content, Cooperation, and

Commitment.

The process of a Masterclass:

After specification and theme establishment a Masterclass has the following

steps:

· Intake

· Preparation

· General Rehearsal
