CORPORATE

One Masterclass in Three Sections

Masterclasses are built in three parts and studied in order: the white paper, the material and the psychology. About 6 hours 30 minutes in all.

Briefing
Part 1 · Briefing

A white paper written for the boardroom: one real corporate case, the research behind it and the questions a board should have asked.

About 55 minutes

Masterclass
Part 2 · Masterclass

The core of the programme: chapters, a framework, a boardroom decision case, a written exercise, a short board presentation and a final assessment.

About 4 hours 30 minutes

Psychology
Part 3 · Psychology

The science of the mind behind the decision: why capable people misjudge, what the research shows and how to counter it.

About 1 hour 5 minutes

Timings include study and writing, not reading alone: reading at 200 words per minute, about 100 words for each written reflection and Question to Ponder, the 300-word exercise, a 5-minute board presentation written in full and rehearsed twice, the action plan, and every quiz and assessment.
