Event Details
OCMBA is proud and fortunate to have Professor Carter Cast as our February keynote speaker to address his views on "The Right and Wrong Stuff" highlighting his original look into the rules and rituals of business life – why some people make it big while others, equally experienced, talented, and credentialed, fall by the wayside – all based on Cast's personal experiences, fly-on-the-wall observations, and deep research into the topic of career derailment and what high performers do differently than the rest.
Carter Cast is available to meet 1:1 with select executive management teams and leaders in advance of the OCMBA event. Scheduling inquires can be directed to Carlos Paret.
Attendance at OCMBA events is exclusively for the alumni of the 15 member business schools and their guests. For questions, please contact your OCMBA hosts for this evening: Richard Park (Kellogg), Scott Shea (Chicago Booth), or Jennifer Chang (MIT Sloan)
