Algorithmic Business Thinking

The gap between the skillsets needed yesterday and those needed tomorrow is being widened by the ways in which algorithms, data, and transformative technologies are reshaping work and how we do it.

In this recorded webinar, MIT Sloan Executive Education’s Paul McDonagh-Smith leads a discussion and Q&A around how algorithmic business thinking can foster exploration, experimentation, and evolution in organizations.

This webinar aims to achieve the following benefits for senior executives and others:

• Begin to upgrade the way we think about, communicate around, and act upon technology in our companies.
• Help you understand and apply some key concepts at the heart of transformative technologies.
• Pull back the “curtain” to show you how algorithms and the technologies on which they are based are built, and how you might use them across your business.
