Capstone Course

This is the final part of my MBA studies in Oxford...the Capstone Course!

What are we doing?
A scenario analysis - we try to see what the future holds for certain industry sectors and develop 30 year outlooks for them.
The topic this year is climate change and sustainability. The first 4 days are filled with lectures, guest speakers (excellent guest speakers who talk about everything that is related to the energy sector...the best part was the argument between the guy from the nuclear industry and the guy from the solar industry - omg, that solar guy had NO IDEA what he was talking about, i think he made up stuff along the way), group work and an individual paper.
Really interesting stuff so far!!!! The speakers and the panel discussions were absolutely excellent with really high profile speakers.
Now we are working on our group assignment, for which we picked the Oil&Gas sector. Our scenarios are called "Party like it's 1999", "Eco-Topia", "Fight Club" and "Forced Innovation"...to go into detail would take too much time now - we all want to get this stuff done quickly so that we can spend valuable time in the pub.
Here is what our brainstorming session has produced:























Oh, my individual paper. Yes, I also have to write a 3000 word essay until Friday, for which I picked the topic: "Ultimately business cannot reconcile the tension between its short term responsibility to maximize shareholder value and the long term imperatives of sustainable development - Discuss"
