The Technology and Innovation Acceleration Program offered by MIT xPRO is a six-month online program designed to equip leaders with the skills and knowledge to navigate the intersection of technology and business. The program focuses on the six pillars of technology management: critical thinking, system thinking, creating value through emerging technologies, radical innovation, organizational strategy, and leadership.
The program is suitable for mid-to senior-level managers, functional department heads, business leaders, senior technology leaders, and consultants seeking to enhance their technology leadership skills and drive innovation within their organizations. Participants will gain valuable insights and learn how to implement critical thinking, analyze complex systems, evaluate emerging technologies, align organizational strategy, and mobilize resources to achieve breakthrough performance.
The program consists of 22 modules covering various topics such as critical thinking, emerging technologies (AI, AR/VR, quantum computing), system thinking, radical innovation, organizational strategy, leadership, and more. Participants will have access to live sessions with MIT faculty, individualized feedback on assignments, weekly live office hours for Q&A, and the opportunity to apply their learning through a final capstone project.
By completing the program, participants will earn a certificate and 10 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from MIT xPRO. The capstone project allows participants to apply the knowledge gained from the program to solve real-world challenges in their current or future technology leadership roles. The program also includes case studies that delve into strategic decision-making and critical thinking in real-world scenarios.
Overall, the Technology and Innovation Acceleration Program is designed to empower leaders to effectively manage technology and people, drive innovation, and stay at the forefront of technology advancements in today's rapidly changing business landscape.
