There are times during our Executive MBA (particularly when you reach the stage of discussing process theory…) when you look round the room and marvel at the specialisations of some of your classmates: expertise and experience in areas like neurosurgery, financial risk, biotech or satellite technology. And there are times when, as a consummate generalist, […]

Choosing an Oxford College as an Executive MBA student entails considering a number of points. First, whether the college allows members to book rooms for multiple nights in a row, similarly to how a hotel or bed and breakfast would. This can be researched on the website of each college, and the key point is […]

There are many EMBA schools globally that will certify your competence for business. They produce “how to“ graduates in sausage factories. There is nothing wrong with that whatsoever. But none aims to develop “critical thinking” in the manner that only Oxford could. Having been asked on multiple occasions the reason for doing the EMBA at […]

As always, this module was chock-full. Classes commenced at 9 a.m. and ended mostly at 7:30 p.m. We completed the […]

It is a truism in any professional development that it isn’t what you do in class that counts, it’s what you do between classes that matters.

I am passionate about winning – something I rediscovered being a corner man for my friend and Keble College grandfather – (if you ever meet me in person I will try and explain what this means) in his recent fight. Fraser got in the ring and put it all on the line in hostile territory […]

Citation. In Oxford citation is important. If you have an academic background this could be natural, but for some of us, who are used to think about business models that we don’t know where they came from, using citation could be a little bit puzzling. There is formal importance to citation, but in essence, knowledge […]

As many of my classmates remarked, it was wonderful to be back in Oxford as a tourist without any assignments due. For prospective students I would warn, although some in the Oxford community might joke that the MBA is a minor degree, the EMBA program is not for the weak of heart. In my case, […]
