"Great course with amazing instructors and content"

"This course exceeded my expectations. Rather than focusing only on business model innovation concepts, it provides a practical and thought-provoking framework for understanding how strategy, organizational design, culture, leadership, incentives, and business models must evolve together. The case studies on Haier, Toyota, Sony, Samsung, and Apple were particularly valuable because they illustrated that innovation is not simply the result of creativity, but of deliberate managerial choices across structure, processes, talent, rewards, and culture. As an Enterprise Architecture and Transformation leader, one of my biggest takeaways was the importance of translating strategic intent into organizational capabilities and operating models. The course challenged many conventional assumptions about innovation, decentralization, leadership, and culture, while providing practical tools such as the Galbraith Star Model to assess alignment and drive transformation. I would highly recommend this course to executives, transformation leaders, enterprise architects, strategists, and anyone responsible for helping organizations adapt to changing business environments. It offers a unique combination of strategic thinking, organizational design, and real-world examples that can be applied immediately."

"Though a short duration course, I really state it was oustanding not only by the fact the subject is relevant and updated but also by extensive track record experience and teaching practice of our teacher (Mr. Bill Fischer). I highly recommend to invest on it and also feel the atmosphere of this renowned University."

"The Business Model Innovation for Organizational Transformation course, organized by MIT and led by Professor Bill Fischer, was a transformative experience. My primary goal was to gain deeper insights into business model innovation and business strategies to implement in my organization and also to assist entrepreneurs in leveraging their businesses. This course not only met but exceeded my expectations. The course introduced the Business Model Canvas as a revolutionary framework for rethinking and designing business models. Professor Fischers engaging teaching style and thought-provoking insights challenged traditional decision-making approaches, encouraging a shift toward design thinking and co-creation. His emphasis on generating better questions rather than settling for quick answers was eye-opening and impactful. The real-world case studies were a highlight of the course. While all were valuable, the story of Nespresso stood out as a game changer. It illustrated the company's years-long struggle to develop a successful strategy, ultimately transforming their coffee machines and capsules into a globally recognized and profitable business model. This case study vividly demonstrated the power of persistence, innovation, and strategic design. Professor Fischers dynamic instruction, likened to a maestro conducting an orchestra, made complex ideas accessible and actionable. His ability to inspire participants to think beyond conventional boundaries was truly remarkable. A personal highlight for me was the opportunity to take a photo with hima keepsake from an unforgettable learning experience. This course challenged my leadership thinking and reinforced the importance of staying true to my values while embracing innovative approaches. I highly recommend Business Model Innovation for Organizational Transformation to business leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators seeking practical tools and fresh perspectives to navigate todays ever-changing business landscape."

"Course was okay except that most of the examples and illustrations were skewed towards the West. No efforts were made to globalization with examples and illustrations from other developing economies."

"Very interesting and enlightening program"

"In total the course was inspiring and a good pace. Room for improvement to add the last star: it was very much geared to one case (Nespresso) and focused on B2CThe Heier b2b case was touched, a bit more depth would have been great."

"Overall the professor has very deep understanding of the topic and has the ability to explain the topic with cases and makes the studies more relatable which helps digest all the information faster and efficient"
