Welcome to the second edition of the Oracle. All Change Please, All Change! Since the last ‘Oracle’ before Christmas 2021, there have been some significant developments at O HQ. Perhaps most notably, I have decided to leave my role as General Counsel (Regions) at Network Rail to focus exclusively on driving our O Shaped Purpose and Vision forward. Bringing my career on the railway to the end of the line has only been made possible by the unwavering support of the O Shaped Steering Board as well as contributions from many more of you who have participated in the GC workstreams, joined O Shaped webinars or just simply been there for me when I needed you. I am excited, nervous, but mainly bursting with pride that this is becoming a reality. Thank you for all your support in making it happen. It means the world. I am also delighted that Catherine Baker, founder of Sport and Beyond and O Shaped Steering Board member has agreed to become the Chair of O Shaped. Both personally and for the O, this is huge. Catherine’s track record of developing leaders and leadership teams across the world will be vital for O Shaped to achieve its vision. Enjoy what follows in this edition of the Oracle where, amongst other items, we share details of our first two partnerships with leading law schools and an O Shaped case study at Santander. See you soon,
