Cheap, robust AI-driven software begins “eating the

AI-powered customer-service system, which can read customers' moods and respond accordingly. “

PROFESSIONALS ARE BEING REPLACED BY DISRUPTION &

AUTOMATION

“Along with the millions of jobs that will be automated out of existence, tens or even hundreds of millions more will be heavily augmented by robot assistants (with a commensurate reduction in salary). These changes will fundamentally alter the landscape of employment, and anyone interested in earning a salary in 20 years’ time is well-advised to consider how these circumstances will affect their career.” – Zach Mayo

Nearly half of … jobs today could be automated in ‘a decade or two.’” -- Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne

AUTOMATION IS AFFECTING ALL PROFESSIONAL OCCUPATIONS

Now, researchers are beginning to see that artificial intelligence, robotics and new disruptive

technology are challenging white-collar professions that previously

seemed invulnerable.”

– Erik Sherman

“Until recently, it was largely blue collar jobs that have felt

the brunt, as technologies automated assembly-line

work….

NO. Not a tired, old teacher lecturing from a notebook to a room full of sleepy adults….

YES. In rotation, Teams act as either Players (Teams presenting their analyses and recommendations) or Coaches (Top Management Teams who aggressively - but politely - question the presenters and poke holes in the Players’ logic).

case-driven courses

"I took 3 courses with Prof. Hackett in the fields of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The courses helped me to understand

diverse industries and gave me the opportunity to practice and develop thought processes in strategic situations.

I was able to apply that knowledge and experience in my post-merger integration work, including when I had to make

recommendations to executive leadership.

The courses I took with Prof. Hackett laid the foundation of who I am as a business professional, and they are the ones that I

remember the best from my time as an MBA student." – Corina Stan, MBA.

MDI.TOKYO

“I’ve had the pleasure to take Entrepreneurship, Negotiation, and Innovation courses with Prof.

Hackett. I've applied what I learned in his courses to the creation of three very successful products for my company that are revolutionizing the local

market.“- Fernando Ma, MBA

Design Lead at BCP Innovation Center.

MDI.TOKYO

“I took five Courses with Professor Hackett. I learned theory, and how to apply it in the real world. Specifically, I used what I learned to help reshape my family business' online

strategy. This resulted in a 42% y-o-y increase in revenue from online purchases.

– Ronnie Sandström, MBA.
