Oxford Cultural Leaders – Leadership Programme (10-15 April 2016, Oxford UK)

Oxford University Museums, in partnership with the Saïd Business School, is pleased to announce that its highly successful residential leadership programme, Oxford Cultural Leaders, will be running again from April 10-15 2016.

The application portal is now open and we are looking to recruit around 20 international CEOs, directors, heads of department and senior manager who want to challenge and redefine their identity as a leader and their vision for their organisation at a time of great challenge and complexity for the cultural sector.

The portal will close at 5pm on 30 November 2015 (GMT). Participants will be asked to contribute a fee of £2,500 which includes the cost of all tuition, accommodation, breakfast, lunch and supper.

The programme has been developed as a partnership between senior cultural sector professionals and business school experts to respond to a clear message from governments that cultural organisations need to look beyond the state for their income, demonstrating their commercial acumen and ability to deliver successfully new business models. Oxford Cultural Leaders addresses the need for cultural organisations to reinvent themselves as businesses, albeit not for profit, with entrepreneurial ways of thinking and behaving, by developing a cadre of leaders who are able to skilfully and confidently tackle these challenges.
