Benefits to sponsoring organisations:
Sponsoring a participant to undergo the Oxford Management Acceleration Programme will provide immediate benefits to your organisation. From the very first module, participants are able to apply the theory and skills learned to their own organisation. The programme helps participants to realise their full leadership potential within your organisation.
Specific benefits include:
Modular programme structure
The modular structure of the programme prevents employees being away from work for long or frequent periods of time, allowing them to focus their attention on their work and the programme appropriately.
International contacts network
Saïd Business School has a wealth of international business contacts that are accessible to participants of the Oxford Management Acceleration Programme. Membership of our extensive Oxford Business Alumni (OBA) offers excellent networking opportunities through the OBA members’ website and various events held internationally throughout the year.
The employee remains part of the management team
All participants on the Oxford Management Acceleration Programme continue to be employed full time by their sponsoring companies. Unlike a regular MBA programme, where students must study on a full time basis, the programme will enable participants to integrate study into their working lives while remaining a productive and contributing member of their management team.
