The business environment of modern organizations is being shaped by powerful digital trends such as consumerization, platformization, and democratization.

In addition to technical acumen, successful digital transformations require careful change management of people and processes. In Module 3 of the M.S. in MIT Program, you'll learn how to manage a digital transformation journey inside your company by integrating multiple layers of understanding—from data, to architecture, to value creation.

Executives on Grounds Briefings

Executives on Grounds (EOGs), typically C-level individuals, work one-on-one with our participants. You will be asked to propose a specific digital innovation that fits the organization where you work or consult. On the final day of the module, which we refer to as "EOG Day," an EOG will meet you for a 15-minute one-on-one session. During this time, after you discuss your recommendation, the EOG will evaluate both the substance of your initiative and your ability to communicate it effectively to an executive audience.
