Course Details

Every executive, regardless of their industry, is trying to build a winning team; one that can deliver results in high pressure situations, again and again, despite competition and external market forces. As we endeavor to build such teams, lead them through adversity, and sustain wins over the long term, we can look to superior sports teams for inspiration and answers. 

Data-Driven Teams: The Art and Science of Winning examines how high-performing teams differ from their competitors across four main dimensions: talent, system, leadership, and culture. Drawing on best practices from the sports industry, this new course explores how data can be applied across each of these factors, from identifying talent to measuring your team’s culture.

Through classroom discussions, guest lectures, and project work, you will learn how to:

  • Identify and evaluate talent
  • Design a system that maximizes the potential of the talent on your team
  • Optimize your system to win more consistently 
  • Make winning a more replicable outcome for your teams

Upon successful completion of your course, you will earn a certificate of completion from the MIT Sloan School of Management. This course may also count toward MIT Sloan Executive Certificate requirements.
