RAPID CHANGE

AI & Software Automation.
Cheap, robust AI-driven
software begins “eating the
world.”
“ING Bank recently announced plans to save €900 million ($1 billion) a year by cutting 5,800 jobs as part of a “digital
transformation.” A further 1,200 employees will have their jobs changed or moved…. RBS is about to launch an online,
AI-powered customer-service system, which can read customers' moods and respond accordingly. “

3. PROFESSIONALS ARE BEING
REPLACED BY DISRUPTION &
AUTOMATION
“Along with the millions of jobs that will be automated out of existence, tens or even hundreds of
millions more will be heavily augmented by robot assistants (with a commensurate reduction in
salary). These changes will fundamentally alter the landscape of employment, and anyone interested in
earning a salary in 20 years’ time is well-advised to consider how these circumstances will affect their
career.” – Zach Mayo
MDI.TOKYO
Nearly half of … jobs today could be automated in ‘a decade or two.’”
-- Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne

4. AUTOMATION IS AFFECTING ALL
PROFESSIONAL OCCUPATIONS
Now, researchers are beginning to
see that artificial intelligence,
robotics and new disruptive
technology are challenging white-
collar professions that previously
seemed invulnerable.”
– Erik Sherman
“Until recently, it was largely
blue collar jobs that have felt
the brunt, as technologies
automated assembly-line
work….

NO. Not a tired, old teacher lecturing from a notebook

YES. In rotation, Teams act as either Players (Teams presenting

Management Teams who aggressively - but politely - question
the presenters and poke holes in the Players’ logic).

17. "I took 3 courses with Prof. Hackett in the fields of Innovation
and Entrepreneurship. The courses helped me to understand
diverse industries and gave me the opportunity to practice and
develop thought processes in strategic situations.
I was able to apply that knowledge and experience in my post-
merger integration work, including when I had to make
recommendations to executive leadership.
The courses I took with Prof. Hackett laid the foundation of who
I am as a business professional, and they are the ones that I
remember the best from my time as an MBA student."
– Corina Stan, MBA.
MDI.TOKYO

18. “I’ve had the pleasure to take Entrepreneurship,
Negotiation, and Innovation courses with Prof.
Hackett. I've applied what I learned in his courses
to the creation of three very successful products
for my company that are revolutionizing the local
market.“
- Fernando Ma, MBA
Design Lead at BCP Innovation Center.

19. “I took five Courses with Professor Hackett.
I learned theory, and how to apply it in the
real world. Specifically, I used what I learned
to help reshape my family business' online

increase in revenue from online purchases.
– Ronnie Sandström, MBA.
