Calvin has found that the courses at MIT don’t exist in a vacuum but
instead resemble puzzle pieces that fit together. “You might learn
a framework in one program, then eventually learn a
different component in another, and one day you
find yourself linking the two to compose
a solution to a problem.”
You may have read their books, practiced their frameworks, and applied their
discoveries in your work and in your life—from system dynamics, pioneered
by Jay Forrester fifty years ago, to …

FACULTY CORNER
DEBORAH ANCONA
“It is a pleasure to teach in the Executive Education programs, as there
are motivated executives from around the world who are excited to
learn and to apply our models to their organizations. These classes blend
theory and practice so that each informs the other. Participants are usually
ready to jump into action immediately, forcing us to think about how our
work can be applied to today’s organizational problems and challenges.
The courses are also an opportunity to get to know participants and
organizations in some depth so that our work is more about working
collaboratively rather than as a transaction.”
Deborah Ancona is the Seley Distinguished Professor of Management,
a Professor of Organization Studies, and the Director of the MIT Leadership
Center at MIT Sloan. Her pioneering research into how successful teams
operate has highlighted the critical importance of managing outside, as well
as inside, the team’s boundary. This research directly led to the concept of
X-Teams as a vehicle for driving innovation within large organizations.
She teaches in Neuroscience for Leadership (page 23) and Transforming
Your Leadership Strategy (page 23).
VIVEK FARIAS
“I enjoy teaching in Executive Education. Our participants are acutely
aware of the opportunity cost of their time. This awareness makes them
eager to soak up every last morsel I have to offer in my lectures. At the
same time, their diverse experiences across sectors and verticals adds
a tremendous amount of context, color, and even counterpoints to the
pedagogy. As such, I feel like I come away from a session rejuvenated
and having learned as much as my students.”
Vivek Farias is the Patrick J. McGovern (1959) Professor and an Associate
Professor of Operations Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
His research focuses on the development of new methodologies for large-

ROBERTO RIGOBON
“The world has become increasingly complex. Populism, central banking
decisions, and trade wars are affecting companies everywhere. I love the
fact that our participants bring the experience of how their businesses are
affected by the global environment and share that dose of reality in our
discussions. Macroeconomics should be intuitive, relevant, and fun. Their
knowledge complements our discussions perfectly.”
Roberto Rigobon is an economist whose research focuses on the causes
of balance-of-payments crises, financial crises, and the propagation of them
across countries——the phenomenon of contagion. He is the Society of Sloan
Fellows Professor of Management and a Professor of Applied Economics at
MIT Sloan. He is also a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic
Research, a member of the Census Bureau’s Scientific Advisory Committee, and
a Visiting Professor at Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Administración in
Venezuela. Roberto teaches in Blockchain Technologies: Business Innovation and
Application (self-paced online) (page 31) and Understanding Global Markets:
Macroeconomics for Executives (page 23).
JEANNE ROSS
“Executive Education sessions provide a lab for sharing findings, testing
frameworks, and planning how to apply useful insights. I thoroughly enjoy
the opportunity to engage deeply with thoughtful practitioners.”
Jeanne W. Ross is a Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Center for Information
Systems Research (CISR), where she directs and conducts academic research that
targets the challenges of senior level executives at CISR’s more than eighty global
sponsor companies. She studies how firms develop competitive advantage through
the implementation and reuse of digitized platforms. She teaches in Revitalizing

NEIL ACKERMAN
UNITED STATES
MIT Sloan Executive Certificate holder Neil Ackerman has many achievements
to his credit, from inventing and managing Amazon’s global Small and Light
program to spearheading Mondelez International’s direct-to-consumer supply chain
models. Leveraging his outstanding leadership agility, and with 10 patents to his name,
he is now a senior director of supply chain planning and innovation for global healthcare
giant Johnson and Johnson. Neil acknowledges that he’s been on an amazing journey—
one in which MIT played a significant role.
When Neil first came to MIT in 2008, it was to pursue an MIT Sloan Executive Certificate
in Strategy and Innovation. During his programs, Neil learned that nothing happens
without an efficient and effective supply chain. “I immediately began developing
frameworks for applying what I learned to my work. And it’s how I discovered my

passion for supply chain.” Neil returned to MIT Sloan in 2010 to earn an Executive
Certificate in Management and Leadership, with the goal of deepening his skills in
those areas as well.
“I’m not naïve about what MIT Sloan Executive Certificates has done
for me. In addition to the skills and frameworks you can acquire,
it’s important to realize that the reputation of MIT Sloan is
very meaningful in the business world.”
