By way of contrast, he also spends a significant amount of time in Oxford, where he is an Associate Fellow of the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford. His work there is practical not academic - he designs and runs executive education programs, helping senior leaders understand and work with complex change, via a playful approach developed from improvisational theatre.
