Executive and MBA education in the smart technology era

Loading player...
Harvard Business School (HBS) has announced the cohort of Executive Fellows for the 2021-22 academic year.
With its largest cohort yet, 29, the Executive Fellows Program seeks to leverage the expertise of outstanding practitioners to enhance teaching and learning at the School.
All fellows, including alumni, partner with an HBS faculty member to bring their business experience into the MBA program and the HBS classroom.
What struck me about this year’s cohort of fellows is just how many specialise in data science, platform technology and AI.

To talk about exec education in the smart tech age Michael Avery is joined by Johan Steyn, a smart automation and artificial intelligence thought leader and management consultant; Tumisang Nkosi (Tumi) Director: Executive Education & Programmes at Johannesburg Business School (JBS) & Kanshukan Rajaratnam (Kanshu), Director: School for Data Science and Computational Thinking at Stellenbosch University
