About the series
A brand new aspirational series of programmes underpinned by the collective research intelligence of Oxford Saïd’s Entrepreneurship Centre, the Oxford Future of Marketing Initiative and the Private Equity Institute.
This three-programme series will give those at the disruptive end of business a blueprint for success, giving you the space to innovate and build a strategy amongst a like-minded cohort.
As a new entrepreneur, or part of a start-up or scale-up, these programmes will give you a bedrock of invaluable knowledge and access to unrivalled expertise to get your ideas from paper to fully funded. As a small or medium enterprise, an intrapreneur or corporate innovator, they will give you the practical skills to support innovation in the boardroom.
