Our inaugural Business Perspectives CPD masterclass takes place on 15 November 2012 at the Cumberland Hotel, London W1.
The theme of the event is “Innovation”, a subject area identified as critical to ongoing professional development in recent research findings from the OUBS alumni. As a result we have developed a masterclass combining industry-leader and academic perspectives that will explore how innovation can be fostered at all levels within an organisation.
Entitled “Organisational Innovation; a survival imperative?” the event will deliver practical techniques and case studies that can be applied to your own context during action learning sets. Our daytime speakers will each speak to specific elements of the innovation mix, from technology to people, processes, techniques, culture and brand. Speakers include:
- Adrian Simpson, CTO SAP UK & Ireland
- Imran Razzaq, Microsoft Eastern Europe Cloud Lead
- David Harrison, entrepreneur & Managing Partner, True Potential
- Win Dhat, Organisation Design & Change Consultant, Kates Kesler
- Professor James Fleck, OUBS
- Dr Leslie Budd, OUBS
A separate but complementary evening event will be hosted by the Dean of the Business School, Professor Rebecca Taylor with Evan Davis, Visiting Professor and Bottom Line presenter speaking on the “Importance of innovation in economic recovery”. The keynote will be delivered by Ken Keir, Executive VP, Honda Motor Europe and will be followed by a Q&A, networking and buffet.
