Asia MasterClass

The Asia MasterClasses have been designed to proved a unique developmental experience for high potential managers of strategic units in corporations operating in the Asia Pacific region. Asia MasterClass have historically been conducted annually in Shanghai, to growing acclaim from the high potential individuals selected by their companies to participate.

About Our Asia MasterClass

One
Asia MasterClass will be conducted per annum in either Shanghai or Beijing in P.R. China.  The Asia MasterClass will be of  6 days duration, with evening sessions. Two days of the Asia MasterClass will be held over a Saturday/Sunday to minimise time spent away from the participant's company. The individual participant registration fee for the Asia MasterClass is US$9,750 - where a company registers two or more participants to attend, a discount of US$1,250 per participant will be provided.

Six core faculty members will be present and fully involved throughout the program, with other specialist faculty resources selected for their topic expertise appropriate to North East and South East Asia.

We have significantly expanded our benefits so that participant registration now includes:

* Tuition by the selected international faculty
* One-to-one sessions with selected international faculty
* Five-start hotel accommodation, in standard rooms, plus service charges, for seven   
nights
* All breakfasts and program-related lunches during the Asia MasterClass
* All program-related dinners, including the Graduation Ceremony dinner
* Pre-reading materials
* Participant manual/work book
* All tuition materials
* Class photograph and certificate

We believe that these enhancements to the registration arrangements, together with the content and schedule fine-tuning, have positioned the Asia MasterClass as an outstanding value-for-money strategic development program for your "high-potential" business unit managers.

All alumni will automatically receive, on a complimentary basis, the highly regarded 'Asia Pacific Perspective & Outlook' produced by Alan Carroll annually.

A continuing alumnus linkage is offered through invitations to attend part or all sessions in subsequent Asia MasterClasses.

Our Key Asia MasterClass Objectives

Each Asia MasterClass offers participants:

* An in-depth exposure to the most important Asia Pacific corporate strategic themes, key current corporate issues and management needs
* A highly practical, relevant and totally up-to-date approach to the key tasks involved in managing internationally and regionally at the commencement of the new millennium, including selected corporate case studies, group work, plenary sessions and self-paced learning materials
* Practical application to a real business issue using the multidimensional strategic problem solving tool, the "Soccerball", which is not available to any other regional executive development program
* Conscious exposure to a cross-section of Asia's key current opinion and business leaders
* A further conscious exposure to current regional "best company/best practice" thinking
* Professional and personal networking with other high potential peers in the region

Who should attend?

The average age of registered participants tends to be 30 - 40 years. We have established from previous MasterClasses that the executive who gains most from the process are already responsible for a strategic business unit, operating outside their domestic marketplace, or are just about to be, and haven't had the luxury of their companies carefully grooming them for the experience. The Asia MasterClass will facilitate and fast track this process.

Cross-country and cross-cultural regional diversity is consciously ensured through a balance of Asian and Western cultural backgrounds amongst participants and faculty, as well as content and case studies.

Feedback from companies is that their participants have gained more from the Asia MasterClass when there are two participants from the same company - though not necessarily from the same business unit or country.
