MIT CISR Sponsor Research Roundtables

May 1, 2012 at the Microsoft New England Research & Development Center,
One Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA, USA
Microsoft NERD Center logo

Please note that registrants for the following roundtables will be placed on a waiting list,
as there are currently no seats available:

  • Surviving and Managing Business Complexity with IT
  • BYOD: Rethinking Relationships Among People, Process, and Technology

This event will be organized as a set of half-day focused roundtables on individual research topics. Research project leaders will facilitate small group discussions intended to share experiences, identify key practices, and better understand the goals, research questions, and perhaps some preliminary findings for some of our research topics. We have designed this event to give sponsors the opportunity to actively engage with, and contribute to, project teams while the research is in progress.

Individuals may attend one session for just a half day or participate in two sessions covering the full day. Only one individual from an organization may participate in a roundtable, except in the morning and afternoon roundtables led by Jeanne Ross, in which a business/IT pair is welcome.

Early registration is strongly recommended, as group sizes are limited.

Follow the roundtable session links in the agenda below to read the descriptions of the discussion groups.
