Digital Data Design (D^3) Institute at Harvard

Technological change is reshaping business, the global economy, and societies. The accelerating pace of this change is simultaneously driven by digital, data, and design: • Digital: digitization is happening everywhere, impacting all industries, the world is getting digitized • Data: using data science and AI to analyze all facets of company, economic, and human data produced from digitization • Design: engaging human-centered design to unlock the value of data science and deploy it as a tool Leaders today identify digitization as one of their top three priorities — along with climate change and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Digital, Data, and Design Institute at Harvard (re)invents how organizations compete and thrive in the digital world and educates a new generation of leaders. D^3 (pronounced D-cubed) provides a new architecture for rigorous research, immersive learning, and cutting-edge practice by embracing close partnerships and collaborations with leaders and organizations impacted by digital transformation. Critically, the Institute houses both technical research in data science and machine learning alongside research examining broader business implications, allowing faculty in disparate disciplines to unite around common interests. D^3 is based at Harvard Business School, but seeks to engage and benefit all of Harvard. With 14 labs, 30+ faculty members, and 6 Communities of Practice, D^3 enables companies to be more competitive in the age of AI and generate new organizational models.
