MIT Sloan Internet of Things: Business Implications and Opportunities – Participant Testimonials
The Internet of Things (IoT) is deeply embedded in the fabric of how we live, work, and play. It’s commonly understood to entail the inter-networking of devices in the physical world by fitting them with sensors and network-connected devices. When used effectively, this technology can be exceptionally advantageous to both those who produce it and those who consume it. In business, IoT can enhance productivity, further the acquisition of critical knowledge, and optimize strategic decision-making.1
Increasingly, organizations are recognizing IoT’s business implications and opportunities. Forecasts for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market predict growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.5 percent by 2028, to $1 842 billion.2
For businesses, two questions emerge:
- How do we leverage these new technologies? and
- How can we implement non-disruptive solutions that we can introduce to the network without posing considerable risks?
The challenge is to leverage these new technologies while limiting interruption and minimizing risk.
The Internet of Things: Business Implications and Opportunities online short course from the MIT Sloan School of Management looks at the field of IoT, systematically unpacks the methods that allow a business to successfully integrate technology into all spheres of its operation.
Real-world case studies, senior executive interviews, self-assessments, and practical assessments guide participants as they construct a personal roadmap to gain strategic advantage from IoT.
The six-week program from MIT Sloan, delivered in collaboration with GetSmarter and facilitated entirely online, will equip you with the ability to:
- Assess the state of digital mastery in an organization of your choice
- Apply a checklist to assess the state of leadership in an organization of your choice
- Apply a checklist to assess the state of technology in an organization of your choice
- Recommend IoT interventions to promote coordination and control in case study organizations

MUFADDAL PHOTOGRAPHER
Senior Director, nVent, U.S.A
“This is an excellent program that gives practical, real-world examples of the what, why, and how of IoT. But it goes beyond that: the program gives you a repeatable framework to apply digital transformation – regardless of technology – over and over again. The online learning experience was seamless and friction-free. The interface was simple and didn’t require any time to get used to. Timelines and expectations were communicated clearly. Assignments were built upon the coursework and made you think broadly and strategically on how to apply the learnings to your organization (or a use case of your choice). Highly recommend this course to build a good foundation in an area that is poised for growth and will end up being transformative, disruptive, and pervasive.”
