MIT CISR Summer Session 2022: Getting to Future Ready

MIT Sloan Campus | June 13–15, 2022

Future Ready companies outperform their peers on both revenue growth and net profit margin by more than 20%. But getting to Future Ready requires doing things differently. MIT CISR Summer Session 2022 is a three-day deep dive into what it takes to digitally transform your enterprise. Using as a guide the forthcoming book Future Ready: The Four Pathways to Capturing Digital Value by Stephanie Woerner, Peter Weill, and Ina Sebastian, we have developed a program that will help you determine what Future Ready means for your enterprise, explore what pathways might be best for your culture, and identify what capabilities need to be built.

A combination of lectures, case study presentations, and discussions led by MIT CISR and Sloan researchers & faculty members (see the topic list below) will be woven together with assessments and peer learning opportunities. We welcome both open-enrollment registrants and participants from MIT CISR sponsor and patron organizations at MIT CISR Summer Session each year. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance from MIT CISR.
