Student Perspectives On The GOTO Project

Former MBA student Alind Choudhry discusses the GOTO Project

What is GOTO?

Global Opportunities and Threats: Oxford (GOTO) is an action-oriented problem-solving community geared towards addressing some of the most complex issues that face the world today. Students and alumni connect with faculty from across the University of Oxford and their research through tutorials, skills sessions and via this online platform to discuss, debate, and drive new business ideas that address global issues. One focus topic is considered each year and topics have included Demographic Change, Big Data, Water Management & Markets and The Future of Work. The topic for 2017/18 will be The Future of Healthcare.

How does GOTO work?

The community can connect via this online platform but not all of GOTO takes place virtually. Students will consider the issue through individual study on the platform and then have tutorials with faculty from across Oxford. Working in groups, both MBA and Executive MBA students will deliver a project via a presentation and/or write report outlining a specific business threat or business opportunity they have identified within the current topic area.
Selected presentations and work produced for tutorials is made available on the platform for the rest of the community to comment, debate and critique and we encourage everyone in the GOTO community to add content they feel is relevant to the chosen subject.

Request to join GOTO

Since its inception GOTO has been open to students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the Saïd Business School and to others at the University of Oxford. If you are a member of the Oxford community, and would like to join GOTO, please contact goto@sbs.ox.ac.uk. We have worked with a number of international academic organisations including Waseda Business School in Japan and aim to continue expanding the GOTO community to include other academic institutions.
