Since its inception in 1983, the Oxford Advanced Management Programme (Oxford AMP) has attracted more than 1100 senior executives from over 80 countries worldwide.

In 2008, a new version of the Oxford AMP will be launched by Dr Lalit Johri, the new Programme Director, to reflect emerging issues faced by its participants and their organisations. Oxford AMP will be held from 15 June to 12 July, 2008 at the Saïd Business School, Oxford University.  

Former Delhi University faculty, Dr Lalit Johri joined the Saïd Business School in 2007 to head the research and development required to redesign the programme. "The Oxford AMP is one of the flagship programmes of the Saïd Business School and has established a reputation for relevance, impact and excellence in the marketplace," comments Dr Johri. "We wanted to initiate a more comprehensive and thorough-going review of the programme to ensure it retains its leading position in the market, and continues to meet precisely the needs of its participants. Based on extensive market research with past participants and some of our corporate partners in different parts of the world, we have redesigned the programme and it is now highly relevant for the environment in which organisations are operating."

Gay Haskins, Dean of Executive Education at Saïd commented: "We are delighted with the work that the AMP team has undertaken to redevelop this well-regarded programme. We now have a vibrant and highly relevant AMP programme which embraces the latest thinking in executive education, and thought leadership in business education".

Talking about the programme, Said Business School says, "The Oxford AMP is an intensive four week programme providing a compelling forum for participants to share views on how external and internal pressures affect them as individuals and their organisations. In an intellectually stimulating environment, participants reflect on their executive experiences and explore ways to design and implement innovative strategies and develop an action plan to enhance their leadership skills."  

The programme focuses on four key areas of development; Global Insights; Organisational Challenges; The Leader in You; Creating Your Future. These topics are explored through discussions, debates, role-plays, simulations, live case-studies, classroom sessions, guest speaker talks, company visits, individual tutored sessions and a range of other distinctive approaches to learning. Participants work with a personal tutor in one-to-one sessions throughout the programme to assist the learning process and to support personal and career development.
