🎓✨ Celebrating a Milestone: Completing the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) Program at Northwestern | Kellogg ✨🎓 Just a year ago, I was on the cusp of embarking on educational journey, contemplating the Chief Digital Officer Program at Northwestern | Kellogg. Despite the uncertainties and challenges of juggling professional commitments with intensive study, I took the leap, driven by a deep desire to enhance my expertise and continued learning. Today, I am thrilled to share that after countless hours of studies, discussions—squeezed into evenings and weekends—I have earned my Executive Scholar Certification from Northwestern | Kellogg for Chief Digital Officer (CDO) Program. This rigorous one-year course was a deep dive into Digital Transformation, covering critical aspects such as Change Management, Program Management, Technology Leadership, Executive Communication, and Leadership. I chose to specialize in Digital Marketing and AI Strategies, Product Strategy, and Growth Strategies, which perfectly complement my existing skills in Data and AI. The journey was nothing short of incredible. It was an honor to learn from some of the finest professors at the Kellogg School of Management and to engage with some of the brightest minds in the industry. Along the way, I also forged lifelong friendships with fellow industry veterans and Digital Leaders. A special thanks to my family, whose unwavering support was my cornerstone. Their encouragement enabled me to excel both in my professional life and in my studies. Furthermore, I am grateful to my workplace—my managers and team have been incredibly supportive, allowing me to apply new insights and strategies in real-world scenarios, enhancing both my growth and our collective success.

How MIT Sloan Got Its Name: The Real Story Behind the Naming Did you happen to know? The MIT Sloan School of Management owes its name to the Sloan Programs (MIT Sloan Fellows MBA/MS, Stanford Sloan MSx and LBS Sloan MSc), not vice versa. Here’s how it happened: In the early 20th century, Alfred P. Sloan, the legendary leader of General Motors, faced a significant challenge: his engineers needed more managerial skills. To address this, Sloan collaborated with MIT’s Erwin H. Schell to create the 1st* university-based full-time executive education program in 1931, the Sloan Fellows Program. Sloan's vision continued. Recognizing the broader need for management education, he endowed MIT with $5.25 million through the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which led to the establishment of the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1952. So next time someone mentions the MIT Sloan School of Management, remember: it’s named after the groundbreaking Sloan Programs, of which the very first was created at MIT to turn GM engineers into top-tier managers. MiM programs are for graduate students to set sail for their careers, Full-time MBA programs are for junior management career transitions, and Executive MBA programs are mainly for accelerations to mid-level management posts. The Sloan programs have multiple purposes but are mainly for mid-to-senior leadership preparations. By Alfred P. Sloan’s design back in 1930, MIT Sloan programs aim to prepare mid-career engineering managers for senior positions. The Stanford Sloan MSx program is designed for experienced emerging leaders transitioning to mid-level roles, particularly in technology and entrepreneurship. The LBS Sloan program targets senior executives looking to accelerate into the senior management team, C-suite roles, and other top management positions such as Board of Directors, non-executive directors, and senior advisors. It selects students with senior executive experience and deep leadership connections from world-class organisations, globally industry-leading firms, or the heart of governments. * The world's first part-time Executive MBA was launched at the University of Chicago in 1943, while the full-time Sloan Fellows began teaching in 1931. #ManagementHistory #BusinessEducation #Leadership #Innovation #MIT #GM #SloanPrograms #MBA #EMBA #ExecutiveMBA #ExecutiveEducation #SloanFellows #ManagementEducation #LBS #Stanford #MIT Stanford University Stanford University Graduate School of Business London Business School
