Future Ready Learning Program

Exclusively for MIT CISR members

Where does your organization stand on its digital transformation? Many organizations struggle to get traction on their transformation because their people aren't aligned—or even speaking the same language—interrupting momentum and stalling progress.

Let MIT CISR show you the way! Now MIT CISR member organizations have the opportunity to get people on the same page with this new research-based learning program drawing on the book Future Ready by Stephanie Woerner, Peter Weill, and Ina Sebastian.

Pathways to Future Ready

The hybrid learning experience proceeds through a series of modules that combine readings from the book, research content on the MIT CISR website, knowledge checks, reflections, and facilitated peer group discussions. The program is expected to take 20–25 hours for an average learner to complete, including reading time.

Capture value through your digital business transformation

In this video, Austin Van Groningen, engagement director at MIT CISR,  describes how our Future Ready Learning Program will create alignment and establish a common language in your organization.
