 FROM THE SENIOR ASSOCIATE DEAN

Our portfolio also includes an ever-evolving range of

formats, from in-person and live-online experiences
to on-demand Business Sprints and immersive
“Academies”—two-week courses held on campus that
afford participants a deep dive into critical business
topics. Our new AI Executive Academy (page 15),
for example, brings together world-renowned faculty
and thought leaders from across MIT to create a
unique and inspiring learning experience at the true
intersection of management and technology.

In short, we promise to keep “thinking forward,” so

that we can provide you with the insights you need in
ways that fit your personal and professional life. Thank
you for choosing MIT Sloan Executive Education as
your partner in your lifelong learning journey.

I look forward to seeing you online

and tools, including:

JARED CURHAN’s sophisticated AI chatbots for honing and practicing negotiation approaches
JOHN STERMAN’s climate impact simulator, En-ROADS
KERI PEARLSON, STUART MADNICK, and MICHAEL SIEGEL’s holistic approach to mitigating cybercrime
BILL AULET’s 24-step entrepreneurship method
PAUL MCDONAGH-SMITH’s Algorithmic Business Thinking framework for solving immediate business challenges
NELSON REPENNING’s Dynamic Work Design for finding and fixing issues in workflow
… and many more groundbreaking approaches that are changing the way business is done. You can sample some

 LEARNING IN ACTION
The link between theory and practice—between thinking and doing—is fundamental to MIT’s
educational philosophy. Our Executive Education courses share MIT’s motto of mens et manus
(mind and hand) and present practical solutions to real problems. As you learn from the world’s
leading management thinkers, you will expand your toolkit to include new frameworks, models,
and mindsets you can immediately apply to the biggest challenges in your organization and in
your field. Here are just a few of the ways to experience action learning in our courses:

 LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WOMEN’S
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Q&A with Program Director Molly Schneider

Q: Who should attend the Women’s Leadership Program?

A: This experience is ideal for women in mid- to senior-level positions who

are either seeking a general management or C-suite role or looking to pursue
other opportunities that would leverage their accumulated expertise. It’s for
women who are asking ‘what I can contribute to an organization,’
or ‘what I can contribute to this world, and what is the impact that I’m hoping
to have?’

Q: What sets this program apart from others like it?

A: When Fiona Murray and Elsbeth Johnson designed the curriculum for this
course, they were aware that other programs focus primarily on how to gain
influence and improve skills of persuasion. They felt that the conversation we
really need to have is, ‘how do women get themselves in positions of power
where they are the ones making the decision?’ and ‘how do they pass that
power onto a plausible, credible bench of other women candidates as their
successors?’. This program is about authentic leadership—and it’s also very
clearly about positional power.

Q: What will participants take away?

A: Women will leave this program with a realistic

plan to achieve their specific goals. They
will also have a better understanding
of what often holds women back from
gaining or maximizing power and
how to overcome these issues. They
will be better negotiators, better
communicators, and they will
understand how to embody
an authentic leadership style
that is informed by their past
experiences. And they will
leave with a new network of
women they’ve met through
this program who are facing
similar challenges and who
are ready to support each
other—for the long term.

STANDARD BANK GROUP UNLOCKS BOUNDLESS GROWTH

WITH MYCELIUM
MycoHAB Namibia recently welcomed visitors to a house made entirely of MycoBlocks—a durable
substance produced from the root system of oyster mushrooms (mycelium) digesting invasive
encroacher bush. MycoHAB is an initiative of BioHAB, a joint effort among the Johannesburg-
headquartered Standard Bank Group (SBG), MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, the MIT Label Free
Research Group, and architecture firm Redhouse Studio.
“With MycoHAB, we hope to proactively help societies to leverage technological innovation and
digital fabrication to benefit communities and individuals,” explains former SBG executive Carolyn
Kirksmith, who first had the idea during a Custom Program at MIT. An Executive Education session
titled “Lab-to-Market, the MIT Way” made a profound impression on the bank’s executives and
planted the first spore from which MycoHAB grew. Read more.

THE MIT BAIN SUSTAINABILITY IN ACTION PROGRAM

For companies in any industry, sustainable operations are no longer a “nice-to-have” goal but a
prerequisite for survival. This is why it was important for us to partner with Bain & Company in
realizing the global management consultancy’s bold vision to equip nearly 13,000 of its consultants
with the knowledge essential to advising clients on sustainability strategy in every sector.
The program, featuring a unique blend of asynchronous modules and live online sessions, covered
a wide range of key sustainability topics, and its success extends beyond completion certificates,
with the asynchronous assets now being used across Bain to upskill consultants globally.
The curriculum covered a broad scope of critical sustainability topics such as climate change,
business sustainability, technological impacts, agriculture and bioengineering, and more,
ensuring that participants understood the various facets of sustainability to be effective advisors
to their clients. Read more.

RE-IMAGINING CONVENIENCE
U.S. convenience stores serve nearly half of the population daily, providing essential services like
groceries, fuel, and meals. Dr. Zeynep Ton, MIT Sloan Professor and co-founder of the Good Jobs
Institute, notes “they employ over 2.5 million people in the U.S.”
In 2020, the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) partnered with the Good Jobs
Institute to help members implement the Good Jobs Strategy. This approach integrates employee
investment with operational choices to create engaged workers, satisfied customers, and improved
business performance.
During their time on the MIT campus, executives explore topics like strategy, digitization, and
organizational psychology. The program helps the association build stronger relationships with its
members and, in turn, helps retailers empower their employees to drive meaningful change in their
companies and the industry as a whole. Read more.
