HBX - Harvard Business School

HBX is our vision of business education, reimagined for the digital age.

When we set out to create HBX, our mission was simple: To use technology to enhance our potential to educate leaders who make a difference in the world. We started with 100 plus years of experience in business education. We then sprinkled in every technological tool we had at our disposal. Finally, we mixed in the most critical ingredient of all, what we consider to be our secret sauce: our very own faculty, people who have spent their lives in passionate pursuit of excellence in teaching and learning.

With HBX, you'll discover that the digital learning tools are a means to an end. That doesn't mean we haven't tried to deploy these tools in a creative and ambitious way; on the contrary, we've poured hours into the conception of these learning instruments. However, the real focus has been on creating a learning experience that brings business education to life. At HBX, we believe that education should be cerebral, yes, but it should also be riveting, kinetic, social, and mind-bending. It should be a series of unanticipated discoveries that change your capacity to navigate the world.

In the months ahead, we'll be introducing you to the various components of HBX. We are starting today with our CORe program, our primer on the fundamentals of business. Soon, we will be introducing more specialized courses that focus on specific business topics. And finally, we will be introducing HBX Live!, a digital learning environment that will enable learners from all over the globe to connect in a real-time, one-of-a-kind studio classroom.

One final note.

These are the early days of online education, and we get that. Indeed, we consider the HBX of today to be very much a work in progress, and we know there will be fits and starts along the way. After all, we're all in learning mode right now.

But even though these are the early days, here is what we hope you will already see in HBX: our vision of business education, reimagined for the digital age. The case method, recast in the form of a bold, new experiment. Our commitment to the learning experience, with equal emphasis on both of those words. And a doubling down on our mission, to educate leaders who make a difference in the world.

This is HBX.
