The Beyond Budgeting Masterclass by Bjarte Bogsnes is a two-day journey that will provide you with a thorough and practical understanding of Beyond Budgeting.
Led by one of the pioneers of Beyond Budgeting, the masterclass aims to uncover and explore how an entire organization can be run in an agile way, where people and interactions are more valued than processes and tools and where responding to change is more important than following a plan.
You will get unique insights into Business Agility in practice, both from a managerial, financial, and human perspective.

Expect to get your hands dirty
The masterclass is made of parts of lecture (sharing knowledge and ideas), workshop and discussion, and facilitated exercises to experience methods and put principles into practice.
It includes a number of exercises which supplements the theory and practice of Beyond Budgeting, including how the model can be applied in your own organisation.
You will benefit from Bjarte Bogsnes’ extensive experience. He has helped companies all over the world getting started on a Beyond Budgeting journey, including his former employer Equinor (Statoil) – where the budget (and much more) was kicked out. This and many other great case stories and practical examples will be shared.
