Format & Pricing

The next ten years will test every assumption your business was built on. Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than defences, AI is restructuring entire value chains, workforce expectations are fundamentally changing, climate regulation is reshaping supply chains and capital allocation, and geopolitical fragmentation is redrawing the map of global trade.

Most CEOs know these forces are coming. Few have the time or space to think rigorously about how they intersect, what they mean for their specific business, and how to position strategically rather than react tactically. The Moonshot Factory creates that space.

The Moonshot Factory is built for a select group of Oxfordshire CEOs and Managing Directors who are ready to step beyond short-term targets and explore what is truly possible. Across this journey, leaders combine a bold Moonshot vision with structured strategic thinking, personal leadership clarity, and peer insight from others navigating transformative change in their own organisations.  

The programme consists of six intimate, two-hour sessions held throughout 2026 at the extraordinary Rhodes House — a setting that has hosted some of the world’s most influential conversations on leadership and impact. With only eight participants, each session becomes a deliberate retreat from operational noise, offering the time and space required to think rigorously about long-term direction. 

Across the six sessions, we'll dig deep into the forces reshaping the business landscape over the next decade.

Cybersecurity & Digital Resilience – As threat actors become more sophisticated and AI-enabled attacks scale, how do you build resilience without paralysing innovation? What does board-level cyber strategy actually look like?

Workforce Transformation – Generational shifts, hybrid work permanence, AI augmentation, and talent scarcity are colliding. How do you build organisations that attract and retain the people you'll need in 2030?

Climate Risk & Opportunity – Regulation is tightening, investors are demanding disclosure, and supply chains are vulnerable. Is climate a compliance burden or a competitive advantage for your business?

AI & Automation – Beyond the hype, where will AI genuinely transform your industry? How do you identify the applications that matter versus the noise? What capabilities must you build now?

Geopolitical Fragmentation – Supply chain sovereignty, trade restrictions, regional instability. How do you build resilience and optionality into long-term planning?

Market & Customer Evolution – Your customers' expectations in 2030 will be radically different. How do you anticipate rather than follow these shifts?

These are not abstract topics, and each session examines how these forces specifically impact your business, your sector, and your strategic options. Through structured exploration and peer challenge, you'll develop clarity on where to focus, what to build, and what bets to place.

This is a peer-to-peer strategic exploration. Each session combines expert framing of a major challenge with deep-dive application to your specific business:

• Given cybersecurity's evolution, where are you genuinely vulnerable and where are you over-investing?
• As AI reshapes productivity, which roles in your business become more valuable and which become obsolete?
• If climate regulation accelerates faster than expected, what does that do to your business model?
• What would it take to make your workforce strategy a genuine competitive      advantage rather than a constraint?
• Which geopolitical scenarios would fundamentally alter your growth assumptions?

These conversations sharpen strategy, surface blind spots, and illuminate the choices that separate businesses that thrive from those that merely survive the next decade. 

Understanding the challenges is essential, but it's not enough. The Moonshot Method provides the framework to convert insight into action.

Strategic Clarity – Given these intersecting forces, what bold position should your business occupy in 2030? Which challenges become opportunities? Which assumptions must you abandon?

System Architecture – What capabilities, partnerships, and organisational structures do you need to build? How do you phase the transformation without losing focus on current performance?

Leadership Execution – What kind of leader must you become to navigate this complexity? How do you build a leadership team capable of executing in uncertainty?

You'll leave with both the strategic clarity about which challenges matter most to your business, and a practical 12-24 month action plan for positioning toward them.

By the end of the year, you will leave not with abstract ideas, but with a rigorous 12–24 month action plan, a clearer sense of your evolving leadership role, and a strategic framework you can use for every major decision ahead. The Moonshot Factory is for leaders who know that the next chapter of growth demands different thinking — and who are ready to shape, not simply survive, the future.
