Future of Business podcast
About
What does the future of business look like? How can business be shaped and deployed to tackle urgent global challenges? Is everything fine in finance, where's the latest uptick in tech, how do we pack in more impact, and who are the new kids on the Blockchain?
The Oxford Future of Business podcast invites you to engage with these questions and more. Brought to you by a team of MBA students at Saïd Business School, we'll give you an insight into the diverse perspectives within the Oxford MBA cohort and the broader Oxford Saïd community.
An Australian, a Brit, and a Canadian Walk into a pub…
In classic Oxford style, the Future of Business podcast was born out of a pub conversation at the launch of the 2017-2018 MBA programme. Marvelling at the quality of conversations and breadth of topics they had engaged within just the first few days, three students began to ponder how they might distill the essence of these experiences into a format that could be shared beyond the walls of the business school. Bringing a few more members onto the team, they leveraged the entrepreneurship project opportunity to bring the idea to life and released season one in the spring of 2018.
They then passed the baton to a new group of MBA students, and the podcast continues to be carried forward with new stories and insights.
