With carbon emissions reduction a top concern, tech leaders are building capabilities that help companies reduce their own emissions and those of suppliers and customers.
Top tech leaders are spending less time collaborating with peers and more time meeting customers and developing innovations.
"We found that a company must perform organisational surgery, often reorganising many times to create [new digital value]."
Addressing the challenges of businesses transformation, "Future Ready" serves as a transformation playbook.
"Transforming a company to succeed in the digital economy requires a vision and a playbook to help leaders deliver on that vision."
"Future Ready” provides sharp analyses, and benchmark assessments to help understand data and embrace organizational disruptions.
In this period of digital disruption, businesses focused narrowly on value chains are at a disadvantage. Next-generation enterprises need to think more broadly about their business ecosystems, leverage digitization strategy to understand their customers better, and establish options for future success. Drawing on cutting-edge research, this course engages participants in a framework for seizing on all the above.
The Executive Program in General Management (EPGM) is a multi-modular general management and leadership program that introduces mid-career managers and leaders to the latest in MIT thought leadership on innovation, strategy, decision-making, and leadership.
