MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership

Teamwork

Developing a fresh paradigm for building stellar teams
At MIT, collaboration is crucial. Engineers brainstorm with computer animators, economists with neuroscientists, academics with members of government and industry. The level of interdisciplinary collaboration and cross-fertilization extends across the university landscape and reaches deep into the international marketplace.

This culture of teamwork is a defining characteristic of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership. Participants are immersed in the art and science of teams — how to build them, excel within them, and harness them for maximum results. Sloan Fellows pool their diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences to develop solutions that no individual team member could devise alone.

The MIT Sloan Fellows' collaborative approach is a carefully developed paradigm unique to this program. Fellows build strong team bonds within tight-knit core groups, while having the opportunity to collaborate with all the other members of the class. By year's end, all participants in the program have worked closely with one another.

The rigor, the close collaboration, and the spirit of shared accomplishment create enduring bonds that span the entire Sloan Fellows year and beyond. For this reason, the Society of Sloan Fellows is one of the most powerful professional networks in the business universe.
