MIT Sloan Strategies for Sustainable Business

 

 

 

 

 

 

MIT Sloan Executive Education offers Strategies for Sustainable Business, a three-day program that applies MIT process-improvement and system-dynamics frameworks to the topic of sustainability, providing practical strategies for building consensus and change.

This program is designed for general managers in global businesses, non-government organization (NGO) and government leaders interested in a business-centered perspective on sustainability, and innovators for sustainability. Participants learn about principles and tools for evaluating organizations on multiple dimensions of sustainability, and then use these tools to evaluate sustainability efforts of their own and other companies. They take part in a simulation, competing against each other while learning about managing resource sustainability in a common-pool resource setting.

Topics include:

* Fishbanks simulation and debrief

* Systems thinking – state of the world

* Acting locally – sustainability as process improvement and disruptive innovation

* Institutions and market failures

* Social sustainability through partnerships – Kaiser and human capital institutions

* Macro/political framework for sustainability – different approaches to development

* Social sustainability within firms – Mercadona case

* From theory to action – assessing one’s sustainability strategy

* Making it personal – leadership for sustainability
