B4 Events

Join Corum Quarterly, where senior decision-makers share experiences, discuss strategy & shape new ideas through trusted peer conversations.

Corum Members Only

Join us for the fourth B4 Corum Quarterly at Silverstone Interactive Museum as we bring together leading experts for an insightful panel discussion exploring the challenges, opportunities and innovations shaping the future.

Panel Title: The Winning Edge: What Business Can Learn from Elite Sport

Panel Themes: Fine margins. High expectations. Relentless deadlines. Lessons from working alongside the best.

What separates good performance from exceptional performance? How do the best teams prepare, adapt and respond when the pressure is on? And what can business leaders learn from those who operate in the demanding world of elite sport?

At our next Corum Quarterly, hosted by Silverstone Museum, we'll explore the lessons that connect professional sport with successful businesses, from leadership and resilience to teamwork, preparation and the relentless pursuit of improvement.

Bringing together four very different perspectives, our panel will share experiences from Formula 1, professional cricket, specialist engineering and executive leadership coaching.

Our panellists

• Rob Jaina – Director of Learning and Curation, Silverstone Museum. Drawing on extensive experience in motorsport, including marshalling, commentary and working alongside racing teams, Rob will explore the importance of preparation, precision and uncompromising standards.
• Sarah Jaycock – Director, High Spec Composites. Sarah's business manufactures high-specification carbon fibre components for Formula 1. She will offer a fascinating perspective on adaptability, engineering excellence and the importance of creating the right conditions for individuals to perform.
• Dr Emma Georgiou – Executive Coach and Leadership Development Consultant. Emma works with leaders and teams across motorsport and other complex organisations. Her Formula 1 experience includes work with leaders at Red Bull Racing and Haas F1 Team. She brings insights into leadership behaviour, communication, trust and sustaining high performance under pressure.
• Jack Brooks – Former Professional Cricketer. An Oxfordshire-born cricketer who turned professional at 24 and enjoyed a successful 16-year career, Jack brings firsthand experience of resilience, motivation, teamwork and performing at the highest level.

What we'll explore

From the smallest marginal gains to the biggest leadership challenges, we'll discuss how elite performers and organisations approach preparation, respond to setbacks, adapt to individual strengths and maintain exceptionally high standards.

Most importantly, we'll consider what these experiences mean for business leaders and what practical lessons they can take back to their own organisations.

Moderated by Richard Rosser, CEO of B4, the discussion will be conversational, thought-provoking and grounded in real experiences.

Join us at Silverstone Museum for an engaging morning of insight, shared experiences and valuable connections with fellow senior business leaders.

Corum. Better conversations. Better decisions. In person.

Join Marnie Wills, Business With AI Strategist for our next Ecosystem Roundtable at B4.

About the session

AI is no longer a question of if — it’s a leadership reality.

This intensive is for senior leaders who want to move beyond the hype and develop a clear plan: understanding what AI can genuinely do today, where agentic workflows are taking organisations next, and how to develop capability, manage costs and govern AI use with confidence.

What we’ll cover

• The AI landscape: The key Large Language Models businesses should understand, their capabilities and where they can add value across different operations.
• AI agents and agentic workflows: The difference between conversational AI and AI agents — and what the next stage of AI means operationally for your organisation.
• AI governance: A practical framework you can take back to your leadership team or board.
• Cost and consolidation: How to get control of growing AI and software costs and identify opportunities to simplify your technology stack.
• Disruption and opportunity: How to assess your market’s genuine readiness for AI-driven change without being distracted by FOMO.
• Your 90-day strategy: Build a clear, sequenced AI action plan for your organisation before you leave the room.

What you’ll leave with

• A clear understanding of where your organisation sits on the AI maturity curve
• A practical AI governance framework
• A process for staying on top of AI-driven changes affecting your sector
• Your own written, sequenced 90-day AI strategy and action plan

The session combines practical exercises, small-group discussion and dedicated time to work on your own organisation and strategy.

About Oxfordshire Business Consultancy Ltd

We established Oxfordshire Business Consultancy Ltd to enable senior business professionals in our team of highly experienced associates to connect with the Oxfordshire business community. In contrast to this highly digital and online world, we originally met and worked together in more analogue settings. As a result, through many experiences over many decades, our collective passion for improving businesses by focusing on our people, their skill sets and motivation has never lessened.

Our team members no longer seek a full-time role or a long-term contract; each and every one retains a curiosity and desire for business performance and improvement. Without question, we have a reflective appreciation of those senior people who helped our careers and a resultant realisation that giving back to others on their journey, in a similar coaching, mentoring or project improvement capacity, is equally rewarding.

It’s often said that the more senior the role, the more isolated one can become. Let’s have a chat about the issues in your business on November 18th and discuss some of the tried and tested initiatives that have helped create a shared continuous improvement ethos, which can lighten the load and lead to greater success.

Limited to 10 guests

Parking: Available on-site

Breakfast: Pastries and fruit on arrival, tea and coffee while sharing perspectives and experiences with fellow business leaders.

The Oxfordshire Business Summit 2027 will see business leaders from across Oxfordshire once again congregate at Blenheim Palace.

Oxfordshire Business Summit 2027

Following the continued success of the Oxfordshire Business Summit, business leaders from across the county will once again gather at the iconic Blenheim Palace for one of the region’s most influential business events.

In partnership with Blenheim Palace, B4 is delighted to announce the provisional return of the Oxfordshire Business Summit on Thursday 13th May 2027.

To reward this year’s attendees with priority access, we are releasing an exclusive allocation of just 50 advance tickets at £400 + VAT ahead of the general public launch later this year.

As the date remains provisional pending final confirmation with the venue, all early purchasers will be contacted before the end of June 2026 with confirmed event details. At that stage, ticket holders will have a 30-day window to either:

• Confirm and retain their place
• Request a full refund
• Transfer their ticket to another delegate

Tickets can be purchased online or reserved via invoice request.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Blenheim Palace for another exceptional Oxfordshire Business Summit.

More About B4 Platinum

Our members genuinely care about supporting one another and collectively we can help each other unlock solutions for growth against a backdrop of a challenging economy, changing consumer demand, and new and emerging technologies.

As such, we have identified numerous organisations that would be excellent partners of B4. We’re looking to build a platinum membership of talented, caring, and forward-thinking companies with whom we can collaborate to achieve our vision, which is based upon five enabling principles of community, voice, learning, connections and celebrations.

B4 was established 20 years ago, and what we have learnt from our members over the years is that they value the diverse range of organisations that make up the B4 community. They are also keen to welcome new members to experience the broader impact that a growing community can deliver for themselves and others.
