Oxford Summer School now accepting delegates for 2018

Posted on in Business News , Cycles News , Creative News, Outdoor News

The Oxford Summer School Masters programme has been designed to position senior employees for the boardroom.

http://www.actsmart.biz/uploaded_images/news-main-body/oxford-summer-school.jpgThe course takes delegates beyond the day-to-day issues of running a business and grants them the opportunity to consider the broader picture, to network with other senior retailers and stretch themselves in a challenging, yet supportive environment.

The structure of the programme encourages delegates to look at things in a different way; to find their own creative solutions to high level strategic issues during the week.

Experts are on hand to advise, including respected industry leaders and retail professionals, to whom delegates have full, unprecedented access.

By looking at threats and opportunities, which they can profit or protect themselves from, the course ultimately helps senior managers to become more effective.
