Lalit Johri, an Indian-origin academic at the University of Oxford is overseeing the new version of the Oxford Advanced Management Programme at the university’s Said Business School.

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 Johri, the new Programme Director, to reflect emerging issues faced by its participants and their organisations.

Johri has taught as a professor at Delhi University. He joined the Said Business School in 2007 to spearhead the research and development required to redesign the programme.

“The programme has had many revisions over the years to ensure it was keeping pace with the latest thinking and with management education best-practices, but 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,” Johri said.

“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.”

The Oxford AMP is an intensive four-week programme providing a forum for participants to share views on how external and internal pressures affect them as individuals and their organisations.
