A Leading Private Business School in South America

The business school aimed to establish an executive innovation centre capable of advising regional corporate partners on corporate venturing, open innovation, and technology acquisition strategies. The institution faced increasing pressure to bridge academic discovery with commercial adoption, requiring structured governance, clear IP policies, and multi-disciplinary collaboration frameworks to overcome traditional research silos.

Oxford Oracle formulated the strategic blueprint for the Executive Innovation Centre, delivering executive train-the-trainer programmes and establishing corporate engagement frameworks. Oxford Oracle deployed a multidisciplinary advisory team to execute comprehensive technical due diligence, design bespoke commercialisation roadmaps, and establish standardized stage-gate evaluation metrics. This comprehensive initiative significantly accelerated time-to-market for novel inventions while safeguarding core institutional IP rights and fostering regional economic growth.

The centre engaged over 30 leading regional corporations in its first two years, generating £1.8 million in executive consulting revenue and facilitating 8 corporate-startup co-development agreements. Furthermore, the engagement established a permanent, scalable operational blueprint, driving long-term strategic alignment, continuous revenue growth, and enhanced institutional reputation across global innovation networks.
