An online program for updating your competitive advantage
Our online program, Management of Technology: Roadmapping & Development, provides an overview of the principles, methods, and management tools for technologically enabled systems and organizations.
During the program, you will take the journey of technology through its history, its different tools and methods, its fundamental limits, and the theory and empirical evidence for technology evolution over time. All this is supported by a rich set of examples and practical exercises from aerospace and other domains such as transportation, energy, communications, agriculture, and medicine.
By the end of the program, equipped with this knowledge, you’ll be able to lead the implementation of technology in your organization.
The skills you will develop
1.
You will learn to quantify technological progress
over time using relevant figures of merit (FOMs).
2.
You will be able to perform a search for technologies
using a systematic scouting approach and comprehensive intellectual property (IP) search.
3.
You will know how to map one or more technologies
to a target product and/or service of your choice and set realistic FOM-based targets.
4.
You will understand how to quantify
the financial and societal value of a technology in its context.
5.
You will be ready to shape the R&D strategy
and portfolio of an organization based on a set of technology roadmaps and by creating an effective environment for R&D project execution.
In addition, you will receive a Certificate of Completion
All participants who successfully complete the program will receive an MIT Professional Education Certificate, in addition to Continuing Education Units (CEU*).
* A CEU is a unit of credit equivalent to 10 hours of participation in an accredited program for professionals.
This program is aimed at
- CTOs, CINOs, AND LEADERS
of technological departments or projects.
- TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS
who want to obtain a broader strategic vision of technology management.
- CEOs, ENTREPRENEURS, AND FUNCTIONAL MANAGERS
who seek to create new business models and/or scale up their current operations.
- C-SUITE
(especially CTOs, CIOs).
- R+D PROJECT EXECUTIVES
and project managers.
- INDIVIDUAL ENGINEERS
who want to move up within their organizations.
- ANY ROLE
within R+D.
- OTHER PROFILES
that can benefit from this program: engineers, physicists, mathematicians.

Olivier de Weck is a leader in systems engineering research. He focuses on how complex man-made systems such as aircraft, spacecraft, automobiles, printers, and critical infrastructures are designed and how they evolve over time. His main emphasis is on strategic properties that have the potential to maximize lifecycle value. Since 2001 his group has developed novel quantitative methods and tools that explicitly consider manufacturability, flexibility, commonality, and sustainability among other characteristics. Prof. de Weck’s teaching emphasizes excellence, innovation, and bridging of theory and practice.
Prof. de Weck holds degrees in industrial engineering from ETH Zurich and aerospace systems engineering from MIT. Before joining MIT, he was a liaison engineer and later engineering program manager on the F/A-18 aircraft program at McDonnell Douglas.
