MIT Sloan Business Schoolhttp://mitsloan.mit.edu/ MIT Sloan Executive Education - http://executive.mit.edu/ MIT Sloan Executive Education programs are designed for senior executives and high-potential managers from around the world. From intensive two-day courses focused on a particular area of interest, to executive certificates covering a range of management topics, to custom engagements addressing the specific business challenges of a particular organization, our portfolio of non-degree, executive education and management programs provides business professionals with a targeted and flexible means to advance their career development goals and position their organizations for future growth. Implementing Improvement Strategies: Practical Tools and Methodshttp://executive.mit.edu/openenrollment/program/implementing_improvement_strategies_practical_tools_and_methods/17 This program goes beyond traditional Toyota-style tools and far beyond the factory floor, translating Toyota methods to western cultures and language, and to industries to all kinds. It provides participants with a framework for understanding what drives improvement and how it can be implemented in every function across the organization. It also helps leaders see how these methods can be applied and integrated with major business targets and work streams. It focuses on the thinking behind the tools and methods, allowing improvement to be accomplished in a rapid and natural way. The course helps managers identify the true value-added elements of work and understand the good practices that they already have in place so that they can build on their successes in a principled way rather than forcing a formulaic, programmatic approach. Inspired by extensive research on several leading companies, this program highlights the principles and practices that have enabled several such companies to consistently and significantly outperform their competitors year after year. The main purpose of this program is two-fold: one is to help participants understand how continuous improvement strategies, sustained over a long period of time, affect core business metrics and contribute to the success of the organization from bottom-up and top-down perspectives; and the other is how to change the way managers see work and their own roles as leaders in the culture of improvement. This program will enable participants to: Understand the principles and approaches that drive improvement; and apply them in all areas in the context of a particular company, thus creating a tangible culture of continuous improvement Implement improvement naturally in their everyday work, not from a prescribed list, but from a deep personal understanding of the principles Recognize successful improvement initiatives already in place and build on them Identify the true value-added aspects of work performed by individual workers and the entire organization Ensure that business targets and improvement activities are tightly linked at every level Develop inquiry and evidence-based problem solving skills for individuals and for organizations Transform managers from controllers to enablers by leveraging the relationship between designing the work well and the engagement of employees that follows Generate “pull” from within the organization for new methods of work Make results (and problems) visible so that they can be addressed constructively Not just remove defects, but learn how to design work correctly from the beginning Dates: Apr 02-03, 2013| Jul 11-12, 2013| Nov 21-22, 2013 Certificate Track: Technology, Operations, and Value Chain Management Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts Tuition: $2,900 (excluding accommodations) Program Days (for certificate credit): 2 E-mail: sloanexeced@mit.edu Table of Contents Transforming Your Leadership Strategyhttp://executive.mit.edu/openenrollment/program/transforming_your_leadership_strategy/35 This program is built around MIT's unique Distributed Leadership Model―a powerful, innovative approach to executive leadership that lies at the core of leadership development at MIT, and the result of an intensive, four-year research project at the MIT Leadership Center to identify more effective strategies for leading in a networked economy. Tested in diverse, real-world settings, the model allows managers to succeed as leaders by being flexible and adaptive in new and unexpected ways through the application of two key concepts: A 4 Capabilities Leadership Framework that makes it possible to harness, align, and leverage the leadership capabilities that exist throughout an organization, and X-Teams, a revolutionary approach to creating flexible, outwardly-focused project teams that enables managers to both keep current with shifts in markets, technologies, and competition, and accelerate the pace of innovation and change Upon completion of this program, participants will gain an understanding of how to: Innovate and move quickly from generating ideas to executing and diffusing them throughout the organization Unlock crucial information, expertise, and new ways of working together, wherever these qualities reside within or outside the company Succeed in a competitive “flat world” of new organizational architectures; smart, orchestrated networks; and tiny firms that do not need huge capitalization to compete Make their organizations more agile, responsive, and creative Dates: Apr 09-10, 2013| Jun 20-21, 2013| Nov 19-20, 2013 Certificate Track: Management and Leadership Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts Tuition: $2,900 (excluding accommodations) Program Days (for certificate credit): 2 E-mail: sloanexeced@mit.edu Table of Contents Creating High Velocity Organizationshttp://executive.mit.edu/openenrollment/program/creating_high_velocity_organizations/40 Some organizations achieve such exceptional levels of performance—time to market, quality, safety, affordability, reliability and responsive, dependability and adaptability, that put their rivals to shame. Though few in overall number, they exist in high tech and heavy industry, product design and production, manufacturing and services such as health care delivery. What is the ‘secret’ of their success? The select few are capable of generating and sustaining such high velocity, broad based, relentless improvement and innovation, that they achieve unparalleled levels of excellence. Creating High Velocity Organizations will introduce the fundamental principles by which such acceleration occurs, give examples of those principles in practice, and give participants an opportunity to test how those principles can be applied and translated to their own work. Learning Experience Creating High Velocity Organizations employs several teaching techniques—presentations, case discussions, video dramatizations, and an in-class simulation —emphasizing a participatory style to maximize the opportunities for “learning by doing”. The program material is organized into thematic modules designed around the four key principles of building the discovery capability in an organization—smart work design, creative problem solving, continuous knowledge sharing, and developing of discovery skills among employees. Each module consists of several sessions, which demonstrate, first, the positive impact through successful application of those key principles, and then provides examples of negative results when those principles were clearly needed but not applied. Each session is punctuated by facilitated small-group exercises, in which participants can actively apply the ideas and examples offered in class to their own specific, real-life situations. This program will enable participants to: Create an organization where work is done by harnessing the best-known approaches available and signaling the need for new knowledge. Solve problems as they arise and to develop new understanding that prevents the problems from recurring. Multiply the impact of local discoveries by making them useful systemically throughout the organization. Lead an organization where discovery is encouraged, supported, and promoted at all times. Dates: Mar 14-15, 2013| Jul 09-10, 2013| Oct 29-30, 2013 Certificate Track: Management and Leadership Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts Tuition: $2,900 (excluding accommodations) Program Days (for certificate credit): 2 E-mail: sloanexeced@mit.edu Table of Contents Leading Change in Complex Organizationshttp://executive.mit.edu/openenrollment/program/leading_change_in_complex_organizations/22 The 21st century organization is enormously complex, difficult to understand, and even more difficult to manage. A volatile mix of dynamics is triggering changes in the workplace. As the complexity increases, effective managers must have a strong knowledge of the people in the organization and the tasks they perform. And they must have the skills to use that knowledge in practical and flexible ways. This program will present innovative perspectives on managerial problems and offers practical ways to solve them. The issues examined apply across organizations, national boundaries, and technical domains. Examined in a carefully sequenced schedule of daytime (and sometimes evening) lectures and workshops, program topics will include: Forces that are transforming traditional management goals and practices New perspectives on managerial decision making—what managers can learn from recent studies on information processing, cognitive biases, and individual problem-solving skills Improving the quality of decisions made under conditions of ambiguity, uncertainty, and risk Techniques designed to insure the success of temporary, problem-focused groups such as task forces and project teams Innovative incentives that organizations can offer to attract, retain, and manage employees who do not respond to familiar workplace rewards or aspire to traditional careers Critical success factors for implementing technological change in environments where failure rates are commonplace and few technologies seem to be implemented smoothly Diagnosing organizational cultures, the role and process of cultural change, and what managers can do to understand and shape that culture Participants in this program will learn to understand and harness such critical factors as: Strategic organizational design Informal networks Leadership styles Negotiation skills Dates: May 19-24, 2013 Certificate Track: Management and Leadership Location: MIT Campus, Cambridge, Massachusetts Tuition: $8,800 (excluding accommodations) Program Days (for certificate credit): 5 E-mail: sloanexeced@mit.edu Table of Contents Building, Leading, and Sustaining the Innovative Organizationhttp://executive.mit.edu/openenrollment/program/building_leading_and_sustaining_the_innovative_organization/4 This program is designed to help spark the breakthrough ideas business leaders need to create successful competitive products for the future. Drawing on the latest MIT Sloan research, the program will offer a set of strategies for growing companies in the face of changing markets, technologies, and consumer demand.

The digital marketplace is redefining customer relationships, the way employees work, and how companies build and exploit internal and external capabilities. This new program is designed to guide senior executives as they attempt to meet the complex challenges of competing in the digital marketplace. Based on extensive MIT research, it provides insights into how firms can achieve competitive advantage by providing unique digital content, an exceptional customer experience, and superior digitized platforms. At MIT Sloan, we have created frameworks to help enterprises define and build powerful digital business models business frameworks to help enterprises define and build powerful business models that will facilitate their ability to compete in the global digital economy. Revitalizing Your Digital Business Model will help senior managers address the following issues: What is the source of competitive advantage for your digital business model? How can you manage business complexity in the global digital economy? How do you design your organization to ensure ongoing development and exploitation of internal and externally available business capabilities? How can you ensure that every employee uses the growing availability of data to contribute to the enterprise’s business objectives? Using lessons derived from the experiences of successful traditional and "born-on-the-web" companies in the digital economy, the program offers an expert faculty, a self-assessment exercise to help you benchmark the current strength of your own digital approach, frameworks of effective digital business models, and consulting group sessions to help you identify and work on next steps. At the conclusion of this program, executives will be better prepared to address the following issues: What digital capabilities do you most need to focus on? What data is most critical to your people's ability to work smarter? How can you derive value from business complexity while keeping that complexity manageable? What metrics can you use to track whether you are delivering customer satisfaction on a daily basis? How will you gain competitive advantage in the digital economy? Dates: Mar 28-29, 2013| Oct 17-18, 2013 Certificate Track: Strategy and Innovation Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts Costs: $2,900 (excluding accommodations) E-mail: sloanexeced@mit.edu Table of Contents Strategy in a Global Worldhttp://executive.mit.edu/openenrollment/program/strategy_in_a_global_world/48 This program is based on a new view of the world and how business at all levels must work in the context of a globalized world. The global world is no longer simply a source of new markets or cost factor savings; it is a source of innovation. To survive and prosper today, companies must expand their focus beyond the traditional views of the world to truly developing a wider vision that encompasses all aspects of being a global organization capable of developing and delivering a proposition that takes advantage of global integration to create value from and for the world. Why did global integration turn into a strategic imperative for so many industries and companies over the last couple of decades? Why is it so challenging for existing, established multinational companies? This program addresses how the current world makes a big difference for internationalization and a global strategy – and why incumbent multinationals and emergent multinationals have fared so differently in the dire straits of the new, global(ized) world. The course introduces the concepts and frameworks used to understand the relevance, the challenge, and the management of global integration in multinational corporations. Strategy in a Global World provides a systemic approach to strategy and the relentless quest for discovering "why and how", not just "what". Participants in this program will learn how to think strategically in a globalized world. They will understand the value of global integration, the implications for business enterprise and management, and the keys to global performance. Participants will also learn how to reach new markets and harness human resources from beyond their existing borders. Participants will gain pragmatic insights on how to: Begin to assess how to develop business beyond their borders Choose among three distinct options for how to grow their businesses Creatively choose how to grow: partnerships, networks, and more Recognize and harness the value of having a global scope Many participants may leave the program realizing that the optimum policy for their companies now will be one that was not there before: being a local company with a global strategy.
