Our special European offering of Gartner CIO Academy is produced in collaboration with Saïd Business School, and channels the strengths, resources and values of two global thought leaders into one cutting-edge business education programme.
This unique professional development programme is open to only the most senior level technology executives and offers you:
Set in 37 acres of parkland two miles from Oxford City Centre, Egrove Park is Saïd Business School's dedicated executive education centre. Founded in 1965, the purpose built centre was designed by the architect Richard Burton to provide a secluded and congenial centre for study. The grounds were landscaped by the late Alan Mitchell, a leading expert on trees cultivated in the British Isles.
With 40 years experience in executive education, Saïd Business School understands the needs of executives and prides itself on high standards of service and attention to detail. Residential accommodation at Egrove Park is in specially designed, split–level study bedrooms, all with en–suite facilities. In addition, as you would expect from a leading provider of executive education, all rooms are equipped with generous desk and seating provision, networked internet access, telephone, television and other essentials to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
The catering at Egrove Park is excellent and widely considered the best in Oxford. The centre also has a gym, sauna, squash courts, snooker room, croquet lawn, and all–weather surface suitable for tennis, football and other games. There are many walking and jogging trails around the grounds leading into the nearby woods. A limited supply of equipment is available, including tennis racquets, squash racquets and bicycles.
Road and rail links are excellent—the centre of London is just over an hour away, and the journey from Heathrow airport takes approximately one hour.
