While it can be difficult to see beyond the immediate crisis, your organization may need to rethink its management and leadership practices to succeed in the post-recession world.

MIT SLOAN EXECUTIVE EDUCATION programs combine innovation and entrepreneurship with strategic thinking and global leadership. We provide senior executives and high-potential managers with the critical skills required to create and lead successful organizations, even in most turbulent times.

MIT SLOAN EXECUTIVE CERTIFICATES are awarded to participants who have completed four or more open enrollment programs within a four-year period. Certificates are offered in three areas of concentration and provide executives with the opportunity to tailor their education plans to meet their own career development needs.

To qualify for each certificate, participants must complete three programs from their chosen track, along with one other program from any of the three tracks.

Strategy and Innovation
Technology, Operations, and Value Chain Management
Management and Leadership

These programs provide new strategic approaches and tools for managing products, technology, and innovation, as well as for discovering new sources of profitability. They introduce breakthrough concepts to identify, capture, and deliver on great ideas and to successfully drive innovation throughout the organization.
Nontechnical executives and tech savvy managers alike have an opportunity to learn how to recognize, manage, and profit from the significant ways in which rapidly evolving technology and global networks transform today's businesses. Namely, they learn how to model and solve problems facing large-scale projects, as well as new strategies for making smart project choices which justify outcomes and create value.
This is an ideal option for technical executives seeking to enhance their general management and leadership skills in order to become effective leaders in a dynamic business world. The curriculum focuses on core business competencies in marketing, finance, organizational processes, change management, and systems thinking.
