Are you an experienced executive at an inflection point in your career? Perhaps you’re preparing to move into a C-suite role, or thinking of embarking on an entrepreneurial venture. Are you looking to broaden your global perspective by exchanging success stories (and failures) with peer executives and entrepreneurs from around the world? Are you a progressive leader who is ready to be challenged and to challenge others? Are you ready to grow your network and forge deep, lasting relationships you never thought possible in five short weeks? Then the MIT Sloan Advanced Management Program may be right for you.
MIT Sloan welcomes a select group of experienced executives to an intense, transformative learning experience on campus and in the heart of what is often referred to as “the most innovative square mile on the planet.” Designed to fit the time constraints of seasoned, mid-career executives, AMP runs for 5 consecutive weeks. Limited to a maximum of 35 participants, the program is intentionally diverse, representative of global points of view. Executives in the program may or may not have an advanced degree but all have rich work experience, including P&L responsibility and significant international experience. In line with the MIT Sloan mission, all participants have the ambition and desire to advance management practice and make a broader impact in their organizations and the world.
AMP is delivered as an integrated combination of:
Lectures
Case studies
Business simulations
Executive panels
360° feedback and 1-on-1 leadership coaching
Team-building experiences
Personal assessments
Action learning projects
During the five weeks, participants benefit from:
Exposure to MIT Sloan’s world-class faculty and their latest research
Access to the extraordinary innovation ecosystem within and around MIT, including company visits, and tours of labs and centers
Ongoing challenges to their thinking, leadership style, biases, and expectations of themselves and others
Time and resources to focus on personal projects and initiatives
Opportunities to form profound connections with participants and program alumni
AMP participants arrive with sky-high expectations for world-class learning and leading-edge research on a wide range of topics. But the reality is, they leave with much more. AMP alumni take away actionable plans for managing complex, multi-dimensional organizations in volatile, uncertain markets. They return home with renewed energy, a toolbox of new skills and frameworks, a new leadership vision, and a readiness to make a difference in their companies and in the world. And they take with them a global network of unparalleled leaders and the lifelong friendships that they forged here at MIT.
The guiding purpose of the Advanced Management Program (AMP) is to deepen the ability of experienced executives to make significant and systemic changes in their companies and the world.
As a participant, you will experience:
A deepening ability to make significant and systemic changes in your company and the world
Access to faculty, coaches, business leaders, and alumni who can help you apply the latest management thinking and frameworks to your industry, company and professional challenges
The latest insights on cutting edge topics like Fintech, Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, Cybersecurity, and Digital Transformation

Candidates for the Advanced Management Program The Advanced Management Program (AMP) is an intense and demanding experience. The best AMP candidates are seasoned executives who carry significant leadership roles in their companies. All the key elements of the AMP experience—the professors, their content, the scope of the project work, 1-on-1 leadership coaching, simulations, etc. are designed specifically for:
Seasoned executives with significant leadership roles in their companies as general managers, leaders of functions or business lines, and who have direct responsibility for profit/loss
Senior leaders with an advanced degree and 15–20 years of work experience, across several different functions and business lines
Global citizens with significant international exposure yet fluency in written and spoken English
Those with an urgent agenda for change with support from employer and family to step away for five committed weeks
The program is limited to 35 participants.
Alumni Gathering AMP alumni are invited back to campus for 2 days each June to reconnect with their peers and the MIT community. A themed agenda will bring the group together with current participants to network, learn, and share experiences.
"The program brought a diverse group of senior executives from all over the world together during an intense five week course. The open environment, the exchange and application within the MIT network made the experience very valuable and created friendships that will last a lifetime." —Finance Executive, U.S. Biotechnology Firm

The January session of AMP closely mirrors the May/June program with one significant enhancement – it includes participation in our week-long Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP) in Week 3.
EDP is an intensive yet invigorating week that puts you in the shoes of an entrepreneur with early mornings, late nights and a feeling of never quite having enough time to get everything done. That’s balanced out by incredible team camaraderie, invaluable coaching from an impressive cadre of experts, and distinct sense of accomplishment by the end of the week.
Through lectures by senior MIT faculty, visits to local startup companies, and live case studies with successful entrepreneurs, participants will be exposed to the content, context, and contacts that enable entrepreneurs to design and launch successful new ventures based on innovative technologies. Specially designed team projects give participants hands-on training and practical experience developing a business plan, while networking events bring participants together with members of MIT’s entrepreneurial community.
By the end of the week, you’ll have successfully practiced the 24 steps to disciplined entrepreneurship and be ready to embark on your own intra/entrepreneurial venture!
This combination AMP/EDP experience is suitable for all AMP participants but is especially attractive to those who have an interest in becoming more intra/entrepreneurial and need some clear guidance on how to accomplish that.
Q. What are the demographics of the cohort? A. Our diverse cohorts typically represent ~15 countries, 10 or more industries, and at least 10 different management functions. All executives have at least 15 years’ progressive leadership experience, including P&L responsibility, significant international experience and usually an advanced degree (MBA, PhD or other).
Q. Is an advanced degree required? Is a bachelor degree required? A. A bachelor degree is required. An MBA or other advanced degree is recommended, however we do make exceptions for executives with sufficiently significant work experiences that are equivalent to a “street MBA”.
Q. Which faculty teach in the program? A. The majority of faculty are the same tenured professors who teach in our Sloan degree programs. We supplement those with faculty from other parts of MIT (Engineering, Media Lab, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, etc.) and with Senior Lecturers and practitioners with strong industry experience.
Q. What differentiates the MIT Sloan AMP from other AMPs? A. There are many reputable AMPs in the marketplace. The key differentiators of the MIT Sloan program are:
1) AMP is designed around the “Four C’s”: Cohort, Connection, Content, and Context:
Cohort: Intentionally small cohort size, limited to no more than 35 participants, who are selected to maximize peer-to-peer learning. This diverse group of participants come from countries across the globe and represent various functions, industries, and experiences.
Connection: The intimate cohort size ensures plenty of opportunity for participants to network and bond with their peers and provides ample time with program faculty. Participants are also granted MIT Sloan Affiliate Alumni status which enables them to further develop relationships across the MIT community. In addition, AMP alumni are invited back to campus for two days each June to reconnect with their peers and the MIT community.
Content: The program content is carefully curated to address the kinds of decisions senior leaders need to make. From the latest in cutting edge topics (such as cybersecurity and digital transformation) to critical areas (such as leadership and innovation), participants are prepared to return home with a toolbox of new skills and frameworks to make a difference in their companies and in the world.
Context: Participants are exposed to an intense, transformative learning experience in the heart of what is often referred to as “the most innovative square mile on the planet.” They have access to the extraordinary innovation ecosystem within and around MIT, including company visits, and tours of labs and centers.
2) MIT’s motto is ‘Mens et Manus’ or ‘Mind and Hand’. We believe the key to learning is the fusion of academic knowledge with practical purpose. Our experiential approach to learning combines frameworks (based on rigorous research), examples (relevant case studies - participants are not expected to work on preparing cases each night for discussion the next day, lab/ecosystem visits, expert panel discussions) and application (table exercises, simulations, projects).
3) We offer three 90-minute, individual coaching sessions during the program. These are completely confidential and customizable.
Q. Is there any pre-work? A. Yes. We assign the equivalent of 2-days pre-work before and administer two assessments – a self-assessment and a 360 assessment – for you to complete before you arrive on campus.
Q. How much evening and weekend work is there? A. Many faculty assign pre-readings for their sessions, but the workload is generally not more than 1-2 hours per night. We do not hold classes or assign additional work on the weekends. We believe it is important for you to have ample time with your cohort outside the classroom – discussing learnings, engaging in peer-mentoring, and socializing. We also realize it is occasionally necessary for you to check back in with the office. Finally, we encourage you to stay physically active and also explore Boston/Cambridge during your free time.
Q. I’m interested in exploring other facets of MIT while I’m on campus. Is there an opportunity for that? A. Yes, and we encourage it. While the classroom days are quite full, we do try to carve out opportunities for that, and the program team can often help with making a couple of connections for you.
Q. Do I need to attend the entire program? A. Yes. It’s OK if you occasionally need to step away for an hour for an important meeting, but you are expected to be present and fully engaged during the entire program (no multi-tasking on your phone or laptop).
Q. Is there a difference between the January and June sessions? A. While the content and experience are largely the same, the major difference is the intense focus on entrepreneurship during the January session. In week 3, the cohort joints other executives in our week-long Entrepreneurship Development Program which begins on Sunday evening, January 20th. The program leverages MIT's culture of high-tech entrepreneurship to help entrepreneurs, corporate venturing executives, startup companies, and others involved in entrepreneurial environments learn what they need to develop ideas into successful businesses, and increase entrepreneurial opportunities in their corporations, institutions, and regions.
Q. Are accommodations included? A. Yes. MIT arranges and pays for studio accommodations at the Residence Inn Boston Cambridge, an extended-stay hotel by Marriott. It is a 5-minute walk from the Sloan school and 0.2 miles away from the Kendall Square subway station.
Q. Should I rent a car? A. Parking in Kendall Square is $40-50 USD per day. We recommend you consider walking/biking, using public transportation, or arranging a taxi/Uber/Lyft when possible. If you need an occasional car rental, Zipcars are available at Sloan, while both Hertz and Enterprise have pickup locations in Cambridge.
Q. Is food included? A. Breakfast, lunch and morning/afternoon coffee breaks are served in our Executive Education Suite on program days. We also sponsor one team dinner per week at a local area restaurant. You are responsible for all other evening and weekend meals, though the Residence Inn also offers breakfast daily, which is included with your room.
Q. Can my family visit during the program? A. We encourage you to gain commitment from both your employer and your family to be away for the full 5 weeks so you can make the most of this transformational experience. That said, we realize 5 weeks is a long time to be separated from your family. A few participants will arrange for their family to visit for a weekend in the middle of the program, or to join them at the end of the program for some holidays in the local area. If your family does visit at the end of the program, we welcome them to join your graduation ceremony on the final afternoon of the program. Unfortunately, we cannot invite them to any other program activities.
Q. What is the dress code? A. Business casual. Please note that our classroom tends to be chilly, so we recommend you dress in layers.
Q. When should I apply and what is the acceptance process? A. We encourage early applications and admit participants on a rolling basis. Once your application is complete and you’ve sent us a CV or LinkedIn url, we review your candidacy and contact you within a week. Candidates who appear to be a good fit are invited to a 30-minute video interview. A decision is generally made within a few days after the interview. Occasionally candidates are placed on a waitlist and notified closer to the application deadline.
Q. Do you offer scholarships? A. Sorry, we do not offer scholarships for our Executive Education programs.
If you have additional questions, you may send an email to execedamp@mit.edu. We do our best to respond quickly, but please allow a few business days.
Please note that faculty are subject to change and not all faculty teach in each session of the program.

Professor of the Practice, Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management Managing Director, The Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship
Bill Aulet is the managing director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship at MIT and Professor of the Practice at the MIT Sloan School of Management. The center is responsible for entrepreneurship across all five schools at MIT starting with education but also extending well outside the class room with student clubs, conferences, competitions, networking events, awards, hackathons, student trips and most recently accelerators.
Bill teaches at least three different classes per year (introductory to advanced entrepreneurship classes) in addition to his responsibilities of running the center. His work has won numerous awards and most recently, in April 2013, Bill was awarded the Adolf F. Monosson Prize for Entrepreneurial Mentoring at MIT.
During his three year tenure as the head of the Trust Center, he has conceived, designed, and overseen the implementation of many new innovative programs including: MIT Clean Energy Prize, Trust Center TV, Energy Ventures Class, Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program (REAP), MIT Entrepreneurship Review, Entrepreneurial Product Marketing and Development Class, Linked Data Ventures Class, Founders Skills Accelerator, t=0 Entrepreneurship Festival, Beehive Cooperative, Entrepreneurs Walk of Fame, Corporate Innovators Sponsor Group, Applications of Advanced Entrepreneurial Techniques "GSD Ninjas," and Global Founders’ Skills Accelerator.
Prior to joining MIT, Bill had a 25 year track record of success in business himself. He has directly raised more than $100 million in funding for his companies and more importantly has led to the creation of hundreds of millions of dollars in market value in those companies.
Bill started his career at IBM getting training and experience in technical, marketing, sales, financial, and international business operations and management. After 11 years, he was named an MIT Sloan Fellow which resulted in him attending MIT for a one year degree program. Upon graduation, he resigned from IBM and became a serial entrepreneur running two MIT spinouts as the president/chief executive officer (Cambridge Decision Dynamics and then SensAble Technologies). The latter became a two-time Inc. Magazine 500 Fastest-Growing Private Company. With a presence in over 20 countries, SensAble also won more than 24 awards and was featured in FortuneMagazine, BusinessWeek,TheWall Street Journal, and many other publications for its innovative products and strong business foundation.
In 2003, he was recruited as chief financial officer to co-lead a turnaround of Viisage Technology, a security technology company with a dual focus in the areas of drivers’ licenses and facial recognition. During his tenure of two and a half years, Viisage developed a new strategy, overhauled its operations, made three major acquisitions, executed two major fundraising rounds and as a result, its market value increased from $50 million to over $500 million.
Today, in addition to his work at MIT, Bill works with individuals and companies to become more successful through innovation-driven entrepreneurship. From single entrepreneurs trying to launch new ventures all the way up to large multi-billion dollar corporations seeking to achieve their goals through entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, and innovation, the same fundamentals have been successfully applied. He also serves on the board of directors or advisors for a number of companies. He is a regularly featured speaker at management leadership programs on topics such as entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, entrepreneurial marketing, technology innovation, creating sustainable and rapid profitable growth, financing strategies, and operational excellence. He writes as much as possible in places such as Xconomy.com, MIT Sloan Experts, The Boston Globe, the Kauffman Foundation, The Huffington Post and the MIT Entrepreneurship Review.
A former professional basketball player, Bill lives in Belmont, Massachusetts with his wife and has four grown sons. Mr. Aulet holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Harvard University and an SM from the MIT Sloan School of Management.

Pierre Azoulay is the International Programs Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.
His current research focuses on empirical studies of the supply of biomedical innovators, particularly at the interface of academia and the biopharmaceutical industry. He also is interested in the topic of academic entrepreneurship, having recently concluded a major study of the antecedents and consequences of academic patenting. In the past, he has investigated the impact of superstar researchers on the research productivity of their colleagues, and the outsourcing strategies of pharmaceutical firms, in particular the role played by contract research organizations in the clinical trials process.
At MIT Sloan, he teaches courses on competitive strategy and innovation strategy to the EMBA students and Sloan Fellows, as well as a PhD class on the economics of ideas, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
He holds a Diplôme d’Études Supérieures de Gestion from the Institut National des Télécommunications, an MA from Michigan State University, and a PhD in management from MIT.
Senior Lecturer, Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management
Phil Budden is a Senior Lecturer at MIT's Management School, in Sloan's TIES (Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Strategic-management) Group, where he focuses on 'innovation-driven entrepreneurship' (IDE) and innovation ecosystems.
Phil co-teaches in the successful 'Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program' (REAP), an ExecEd program for regional teams from around the globe interested in accelerating 'innovation-driven entrepreneurship'; in the related 15.364 class, known as the 'Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Lab' (REAL), aimed at MBAs and Sloan Fellows; and on similar topics in a variety of degree and ExecEd settings.
Phil's approach combines academic, historical and real-world perspectives on how different stakeholders - including Entrepreneurs, Universities and 'Risk Capital' providers, alongside Corporate enterprises and Government policymakers - can all contribute to building successful innovation ecosystems. Phil is currently on leave from the British Government, and joins MIT having worked recently in Boston's private sector for the Royal Bank of Scotland's US subsidiary, Citizens Bank, where he focused on financing transatlantic (especially British-American) trade and investment. His background as a diplomat makes him well-suited to the 'global innovation' of REAP/REAL, the interplay among the REAP teams, and the negotiations within the 'innovation ecosystems' (especially between Corporate and Government stakeholders).
In the fall of 2012, while a Visiting Scholar at MIT, Phil had undertaken a project on innovation and entrepreneurship for the British Prime Minister's office at No 10 (and UK Trade and Investment) to inform the UK's Entrepreneurs Campaign. From 2007 until 2012, he had served as the British Consul General to New England, in which role he had been responsible for transatlantic business issues, including trade and investment, corporate/government affairs, as well as science and innovation, leading him to an abiding interest in entrepreneurship. In that time, he also moved the British Consulate to One Broadway (aka e70) to be closer to MIT, Sloan and Kendall Square.
Prior to MIT, Phil had joined the British Foreign Office in 1993, and spent his first decade as a diplomat focused on Britain's membership of the European Union (EU), involving its key economic, financial and technology policies. After 9/11, his second decade as a British diplomat was spent in the US: first at the British Embassy in Washington (2002-2007), focused on transatlantic economic and business issues, including technology security, international science and innovation links, and trade policy; and later based in Boston (2007-2012) as Her Britannic Majesty's Consul General to New England.
In sum, Phil has held these posts with the British government: British Cabinet Office, London (5/6/2001 - 6/30/2002); British Embassy, Washington DC (7/1/2002 - 8/5/2007); 1st Secretary (UK-US Technology, Science & Innovation) Washington DC; Adviser to the PM at No10 (European/institutional strategy) London, UK.
Phil holds a BA and MA in History from Lincoln College, the University of Oxford; an MA in History and Government from Cornell University; and a PhD (DPhil) in History and International Political Economy from the University of Oxford.
Watch: The Advanced Management Program Overview
The MIT Sloan Executive Education Advanced Management Program (AMP) is a month-long senior executive program designed for a select group of experienced executives who are willing to create and sustain a learning community. AMP participants will acquire new frameworks and skills for which MIT Sloan is world-renowned; make connections with colleagues who share similar experiences; and develop an expanded sense of themselves as enterprise leaders.
What makes MIT Sloan's Advanced Management Program different? Ask Joe Hartz.
If you're a senior executive seeking improved performance and confidence at managing organizations, then you may be exploring advanced management programs (AMPs). Why select MIT? In 2016, Joe Hartz, then COO (now CEO) ofUGI Energy Services, asked himself the same question. In pursuit of an exceptional advanced management program that would meet his needs and fit his schedule . . .
[Innovation@Work Blog] The MIT Sloan Advanced Management Program—A Transformational Experience
The MIT Sloan Advanced Management Program (AMP) is an intensive learning experience geared toward the seasoned professional who needs to balance accelerated learning options with the demands of a full-time career.
Court Chilton explains why maturity is important for leaders as they take people, teams and organizations into new, uncharted territory. Mature leaders invoke confidence. Chilton provides President-elect Donald Trump as an example of a leader lacking a maturity he’ll need to unite people under him. Many smart leaders have what Chilton describes as four “capabilities,” but they cannot stand alone without the corresponding four elements of emotional maturity, he says.

Use Catalytic Questioning to Solve Significant Problems
"The method, which I now call Catalytic Questioning, incorporates five simple, unconventional steps to help change our questions and creatively solve significant problems both in our personal and professional lives," writes Hal Gregersen.
Networking. It's a word that evokes very different reactions among us. Love it or hate it, you probably associate networking with making your way up the ladder, developing relationships, and expanding your contacts. But if you don't associate it with innovation and breakthrough ideas, then you're missing out on perhaps the greatest opportunity networking can provide.
