CO N S EQU E N C E .
MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership
Constructing your foundation.
As an MIT Sloan Fellow, you will work through a rigorous
curriculum built on a foundation of three interdependent
pillars that are strengthened throughout the year.
Leadership
MIT defines successful leadership by impact, not position.
Our program has educated generations of leaders who
have gone on to shape the futures of organizations and
events. We integrate the teachings of the most influential
experts on leadership—researchers and practitioners—
Elevate your career with three powerful pillars.

to begin. Alumni say this “laboratory” is a lifealtering, career-making experience unequaled in
innovate and embrace change
If the 25,000+ companies founded by MIT alumni formed
an independent nation, it would have the 11th-largest
economy in the world. As an MIT Sloan Fellow, you are
positioned to tap this ecosystem to develop a new
enterprise or drive productive change at an established
organization. You will leave the program equipped to
the world today.
See for yourself.
“I think of transformation as a complete change of
mindset. And transformational is what this year
has been for me. It has reshaped my perspectives
about life—professional and personal—helped me

countries, you share strategies, hard-won wisdom, and
successes—as well as your most stubborn challenges.
After one year in the MIT Sloan Fellows Program, you will
›› view the world through a broader lens with a greater
understanding of how economic, social, and political
factors can impact an organization
›› acquire the skills, credibility, and confidence to conduct
business globally
›› rely on a network of trusted advisors in virtually every
region of the world
A GLOBAL COMMUNITY
Absorbing collective wisdom.
Immersing yourself for one year with 120 gifted
leaders from across the global management
spectrum is like spending a year with 120 living
case studies. As your peers share perspectives
gained and lessons learned during the course
of their careers, their experiences become your
experiences—how a Turkish retailer successfully
spans borders in the Middle East, for example, or
how a European diplomat negotiates complex
multinational agreements.
Magnify your world.
“Your fellow students are the best of the best.
I remember looking across the classroom and
thinking: just the dozen of us in this room
could change the world.”

Bringing families into the
network.
The partners and families of your peers
are key members of the personal and
professional network you build in the
program. Partners and families are fully

community, participating in communitywide activities and cultural events. They

By graduation, families have forged lifelong
friendships within the MIT Sloan Fellows
community and beyond. Many look back on
their year in New England as one of the best
of their lives, an invaluable bonding
experience, a year of pivotal growth for
adults and children alike. As Scott Gutz,
SF ’08, remembers, “My family had an
MIT Sloan Fellows experience that was as
precious to them as mine was to me.”
