From the groundbreaking work at MIT research centers to the inspiring success of the MIT Clean Energy Prize to the award-winning efforts of the MIT Entrepreneurship Center, the entire Institute, along with its many partners in the business community, is fully committed to solving the energy challenge.

Clean Energy Ventures: Creating Innovative New Businesses Through Entrepreneurial Management is a new four-day program designed to enable senior executives from corporations, government agencies, and non-profit organizations to more effectively encourage, lead, and manage the entire venture creation process for clean energy—be they stand-alone new ventures or pioneering undertakings inside of larger organizations.

The program is led by Bill Aulet, Managing Director of the MIT Entrepreneurship Center. Aulet is a highly accomplished business leader with a track record of success over 25 years, having founded a number of companies that have received dozens of industry awards and features in Fortune Magazine, BusinessWeek, and The Wall Street Journal. He has taught and worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Aulet’s courses at MIT explore the new brand of entrepreneurship and innovation required to meet the energy challenge. Aulet is also the chairman of the MIT Clean Energy Prize.

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.

AN MIT SLOAN EXECUTIVE CERTIFICATE is a formal recognition of executives' dedication to development—of their business and their own professional expertise. Upon completion of four or more open enrollment programs within a four-year period, participants receive an official MIT Sloan certificate of achievement. Certificates are offered in three areas of concentration tailored to meet executives' specific interests and goals.

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

This track introduces breakthrough concepts that can help to identify, capture, and deliver on great ideas and to successfully drive innovation throughout the organization. Participants learn new strategic approaches and tools for managing products, technology, and innovation, as well as for discovering new sources of profitability.
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.
