Letter from the Directors
Dear Stakeholder,
The 2010/11 academic year marked another important year of growth and accomplishment for the Center. We saw our research having more impact than ever before, with premier media coverage from the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and Bloomberg Business Week. We pushed harder into Europe, launching a European version of our successful CISO Workshop and strengthening our academic ties. We also launched a new Exec Ed program for the broadband industry. We did this while making gains in both our internal and external programs.
In this report, we outline our key achievements within all three areas of our mission: Scholarly Research, Executive Dialog, and MBA Program Enrichment. Our NSF funded research on healthcare IT has grown with two full-time postdocs working to understand how IT improves healthcare quality and how sensitive patient information can be protected. The Roundtable Series again brought together leading CIOs and function executives, with conversations on innovation, leadership development, and analytics. Internally, our flagship program for Tuck – the Britt Technology Impact Series (BTIS) – canvassed the explosion of social media. We also launched new Apple and Android apps to communicated and document the learnings. To expand the impact of our programs, we launched a new website this year with an active blog and links to social media including Facebook and Twitter.
On staffing, Tim Paradis joined the team as Program Manager with primary responsibility for BTIS. Two postdoc scholars joined the research team – Juhee Kwon from Purdue University and Boris Otto from University of St. Gallen in Switzerland.
As we lean forward into a very busy summer, we excited to reflect on and share the success of the past year. To learn more, we invite you to read our Annual Report below to get all the details on events, people, and publications.
Sincerely,
M. Eric Johnson Hans Brechbühl
