Webinar by Professor Simon Johnson
Joe Coughlin Director, MIT AgeLab
In a rapidly expanding digital marketplace, how can we stay on top of rapid - and sometimes radical - change? How can we position our organizations to take advantage of new technologies? How can we track and combat the security threats facing all of us as we are swept forward into the future?
Gareth McKinley Professor of Teaching Innovation in Mechanical Engineering
The digital future is here, and the threat of disruption looms large. In a rapidly expanding digital marketplace, legacy companies without a clear digital transformation strategy are being left behind. COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the transition to a digital future. To succeed companies must embark on the difficult path of digital transformation…and that doesn’t mean creating another app. But what does digital transformation mean for your company and your business? How can we stay on the top of these rapid changes? What challenges have many high-profile companies faced? How can you prepare to succeed in a changing digital climate?
Join the MIT Industrial Liaison Program for a webinar: Rapid Prototyping with MIT Professor Neil Gershenfeld, the director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms and Associate Professor Skylar Tibbits, the founder of the Self-Assembly Lab at MIT. This two-hour rapid prototyping online seminar will provide an update on how to make (almost) anything, breaking down boundaries between the digital and physical worlds to Self-Assembly a process by which disordered parts build an ordered structure through only local interaction.
