Programs & Events
Roundtable on Digital Strategies
This year, the center organized three corporate roundtables for the Roundtable on Digital Strategies series. Each roundtable consisted of 15-20 CIOs and functional VPs from Fortune 1,000 companies and 2-3 senior academics engaged in a day-long moderated roundtable discussion. Together they shared perspectives on a specific business issue, wrestled with concerns common across sectors, and worked to identify digital strategies that create and sustain competitive advantage. Event summaries and/or content overviews (and much more) are available for each roundtable at the links below:

Executive Education
This year, in partnership with Tuck’s Executive Education, the center facilitated and carried out the Business Essentials for the Information Security Professional (BESP) program for 32 CISOs. This executive education program sought to enhance leadership, financial, and communication skills, so that participants may engage more effectively with other business leaders throughout their enterprise. Participants learned to refine their understanding of risk management and decision making and had the opportunity to share best practices with colleagues from other companies to gain insight into the real-world issues they are facing today. For more information, see the link below: Business Engagement and the Information Security Professional, Held May 12-16 in Hanover, NH at the Tuck Campus.

The BTIS is a center-sponsored offering that hosts leading experts to discuss new technologies, innovations and trends. In addition to Tech@Tuck, this year the center held eight events around the topic of video technology.
