Are you ready to create and deliver maximum value for your stakeholders?
In today’s uncertain world, strategies must be agile. The days of 5–10-year plans are over. Innovation equally isn’t static. Continuous ‘creative problem-solving’ propels organisations forward. Those who don’t afford equal attention to strategic agility and innovation, risk stagnating, losing their value and competitive edge. After all, in the words of our programme participants, ‘strategy and innovation are all about applying a creative approach to an existing problem to achieve your vision, and how you plan to get there’, and yet this unique interdependency between the two is often overlooked.
The Oxford Executive Diploma in Strategy and Innovation offers a unique focus on the relationship and interdependencies between these two concepts. This highly interactive programme is designed to equip experienced professionals with the practical tools to both effectively formulate and execute transformative strategies that drive growth, maximise value and make a dynamic impact in our rapidly changing world.
Built on the academic rigour of a specialised Oxford master’s-level qualification, this postgraduate diploma programme consists of four modules taught in person in Oxford over one year:
- Strategy
- Innovation strategy
- Globalisation and strategy
- Strategy in action
Upon successful completion of this diploma, you will have gained not only a complete set of professional strategic tools and a revitalised approach to innovation, but the advanced capability to select, tailor and develop your own frameworks to deliver an effective solution to future challenges.
