Cooperation may be making us "a little bit too nice" when it comes to innovation, suggests Fiona Murray. She believes there's nothing like competition for injecting energy into the process of solving key innovation problems, whether in business or society.
Alex Slawsby came to MIT Sloan already in possession of a key business principle: There may be money in a good idea, but good communication is priceless. Now this idea man is putting that principle into action as he begins a job with Innosight, an innovation consulting company. As co-president of the Innovation Club and co-author of a thesis on collective innovation, Alex has idea generation and analysis down cold. With his liberal arts undergraduate experience, he's confident in his ability to speak and write about those ideas. And with his passion for challenge and problem solving, it's probably a good idea to bet on his success. On the eve of his graduation, the eloquent Alex sat down with correspondent Scott Rolph to discuss his fond memories of MIT Sloan and his ideas on the shifting nature of innovation.
Design used to be a priesthood, says IDEO CEO Tim Brown. Art school was the path to the pulpit, and designs were unveiled with the ceremony of a Sunday sermon. But designers today have left the church for a human-centered mode of innovation. At companies like IDEO, design is about getting out into society and understanding how people think and feel about the world. It's about inspiration, ideation, and implementation. Brown described this process in a March 2006 Dean's Innovative Leader Series appearance, presented here. He is introduced by MIT Sloan Professor James Utterback.
John Sterman, Jay W. Forrester, Professor of Management and the Director of MIT System Dynamics Group, discusses the School's new portal for online case study -- MIT Sloan Teaching Innovation Resources (MSTIR). Offering free educational resources to all those interested in current management issues, MSTIR provides specific advantages over other program's case studies. Listen as Sterman discusses MIT Sloan's unique approach to the study of industry evolution, entrepreneurship, and sustainability.
Ed Roberts came to MIT as a teenager -- and never left. To say his time here has been productive would be an understatement. In addition to the four degrees he's earned and decades of teaching and research, this energetic innovator founded and chairs the MIT Entrepreneurship Center and co-founded the Management of Technology Program. His latest accomplishment is the introduction of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program. Fondly known as E&I, this phenomenally popular element of the MBA program leverages the entrepreneurial ecosystem at MIT and brings likeminded entrepreneurs together. Recently Ed spoke with correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate about his latest curricular innovation, his long journey down the entrepreneurship path, and what he firmly believes makes a great entrepreneur.
MIT Sloan Teaching Innovation Resources (MSTIR) marks its first anniversary with the debut of several new educational offerings, including the Salt Seller management flight simulator. These engaging simulations are specifically designed to give students an opportunity to apply what they've learned in the classroom to real-world management scenarios. In this new podcast, Professor John Sterman, creator of the Salt Seller and other simulations, and MSTIR program manager Cate Reavis, discuss the appeal of management simulations and give a preview of other MSTIR teaching materials.
Terri Kelly provides insights into the W.L. Gore Company, and explains its unique culture that encourages experimentation, risk taking and taking the long view.
In both lecture format and conversation with Sloan Senior Lecturer Noubar Afeyan, Rusnano CEO Anatoly Chubais presents an ambitious plan to create Russia's Nanotechnology Center--a $10 billion, entrepreneurial ecosystem that incorporates education, research and business incubation.
While the ongoing world economic crisis has left many business leaders sweating (or worse), John Chambers is rolling up his sleeves in anticipation of an eventual recovery. After every economic challenge, he says, Cisco has come out with dramatic gains in market share. This time won't be different, if Chambers' bets pay off.
Feld discusses the next generation of software in context of changes in the last twenty years, and considers software that provides an immersive experience, the prospect of decoupling mouse and keyboard and the implications of cloud computing.
There are ample opportunities for new energy entrepreneurs, these panelists agree, but motivation and certain kinds of know-how play key roles in bringing new ventures to fruition.
The fast-moving global fashion industry leaves little time for reflection, according to Ruth Sommers, executive vice president of Victoria's Secret Direct and a 2001 graduate of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership. In fashion, instinct can trump analysis, and cross-disciplinary teams demand leaders. For Sommers, a year as an MIT Sloan Fellow was a rare opportunity to pause and focus on growing as a leader and a person.

If you're looking for some great snacks to fuel a marathon study session, Susan Rogol is the classmate for you. This trained chef and Martha Stewart Living OmniMedia alum is known to make some mean steak quesadillas and phenomenal brownies. When she's not chopping and sauteing, Susan is exploring options in New Media, consuming M and Ms as part her homework for the Innovation Challenge, and attending Wednesday night Project Runway-watching gatherings with "the girls." Correspondents Scott Rolph and Michelle Choate spoke with Susan about her summer internship plans, her experience creating a new launch magazine, and what it was really like working for the controversial Martha.
MIT Sloan alum Hiram Samel runs Merida Meridian, a Boston-based manufacturer of distinctive textiles. It's a small company, but a global company, with operations in 20 countries. A 2006 graduate of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership, Samel chose the program's two-year flexible schedule option. It was a great option for a small business owner, he says -- not only because he could accommodate both school and a dynamic business but also because the learning didn't stop when he was back tending to the company.
As an MIT Museum audience peppers him with queries ranging from the barter system to development, and the role of intuition in economics, Nobel Prize-winner Robert Merton pushes back against any assumptions that he might be a "renaissance man." He carefully steers listeners to his areas of expertise -- financial engineering and innovation, and risk management.
