Informing and Networking
We're constantly looking to inform people about the work we are doing here at World Class. One of the best ways to get to know us, our approach and our research is by attending one of our FREE Masterclass sessions.
World Class Masterclasses are typically half day events, featuring a range of speakers on World Class.
A typical Masterclass session is as follows:
- 9:00am: Arrival, Coffee and Teas
- 9:30am: Welcome to the Masterclass
- 9.45am: First keynote speaker - an academic expert
- 10.30am: Coffee break and Networking
- 11.00am: Second keynote speaker - a member of the World Class team
- 11.45am: Third keynote speaker - a representative from industry whose company has undertaken a World Class Journey
- 12.30pm: Networking and light lunch
Masterclasses are also great opportunities to meet other like-minded companies and to talk to those companies who have already undertaken the World Class Diagnostic. For a list of recent attendees, see the right-hand area of this page.
