Having built eight successful companies in six different countries, Bryan knows how to grow a business. Five years ago, he started research
on how to best help other companies grow their businesses. Based on research done with over 400 companies and proven methods like

It was a great opportunity to participate in Bryan’s entrepreneurship course. It was an unforgettable, well-
organized course based on his ABCS of innovation. He said his goal was to give me something simple
enough that I will remember 5-years from now.
Jin YAN

Bryan's teaching methods are very unique. He guided us through the different steps of ABCS cycle with a lot
of hands-on practice, he was always patient to answer questions as well as to give suggestions. His class is
also great for those future entrepreneurs and innovators who want to gain insights through his rich
knowledge and experience within the field.

A professor that gives a 110% effort in each class. No one sleeps through his classes, he interacts with
students and challenges them to give the best of themselves. In addition to providing students with a solid
theoretical framework, he shows them how these ideas and concepts can be used in everyday life. His
classes are fun and great to attend.

Bryan surprised me with his pleasant and creative but also demanding way of teaching. He is one of the few
professors that will catch your attention very quickly and keeps you attentive during the whole course. By
promoting an interactive way of teaching, students actually feel involved in what is thought and in a way obliged to
think about the material he covers during the course in a more critical manner, which I enjoyed very much.

No other professor has ever encouraged students to express their ideas with a simple drawing on a napkin!
Bryan’s combination of academic articles, books, videos and field experience not only made students attend
classes, it actually kept them awake.
