“The MIT programs were very eye-opening. Our organization has a strong history of innovation but I still learned to see things from a different point of view. This resulted in several new projects and business opportunities. It is very refreshing to learn from professors who did the research and wrote the books opposed as to someone who has simply memorized the material.”
