Top-performing organizations in MIT CISR research attributed more than 5 times the revenues to data monetization compared to bottom-performing organizations. Barb Wixom, Cynthia Beath, and Ja-Nae Duane describe 3 high-performance factors that amplify data monetization impact, and illustrate them with a case study of Wolters Kluwer, in our November '24 research briefing. #datamonetization #expertsolutions #dataleadership #datavaluemanagement #datalifecyclemeasurement

Despite global challenges that have distracted organizations from their response to the climate emergency, sustainability is still high on the corporate agenda. Research by Ina Sebastian has found that sustainability requires its own digital transformation.  #sustainability #climate #digitaltransformation

Nick van der Meulen describes benefits and challenges of AI automation that allows employers to assess skills, potentially with greater accuracy than existing approaches.

IT leaders should embrace AI tools, such as copilots and assistants, to help employees get comfortable with more complex and impactful AI solutions, explain Nick van der Meulen and Barb Wixom of MIT CISR. #generativeAI #GenAI

All of MIT CISR is deeply saddened by the untimely passing this week of Gail Evans of Disney Experiences, an impactful technology leader and friend of MIT CISR. In 2023, MIT CISR Chairman Peter Weill interviewed Gail on how technology leaders spend their time. Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/eZeH7fA3.

MIT CISR is fortunate and proud to be part of a rich and exciting research environment like MIT. MIT faculty, scientists, and students do amazing research that yields fundamental knowledge and practical applications, and that research informs the work we do at CISR. We have also benefited from the leadership, support, and encouragement of the MIT Sloan School, including the deans and our colleagues in the IT group. We are grateful to the MIT community for the supportive environment and the sharing of ideas. And thank you to the companies and organizations that have been, and are currently, MIT CISR sponsors and patrons. Their support goes beyond funding our research to offering access, providing data, and agreeing to be case study examples—the stories that make MIT CISR frameworks come to life. Their leaders have a passion for the opportunities and challenges that IT, data, and digital create, and a willingness to share experiences and debate ideas. This helps us develop insights and understand best practices and it is an honor to be part of these conversations. This is the last entry in our series of MIT CISR 50 Facts for 50 Years. It has been a delight to compile these memories and milestones and to hear from the MIT CISR community about your enthusiasm for MIT CISR! Please stay in touch.

When undertaking a sizable project, a large organization might consider partnering with a small company to leverage its greater agility. But such partnerships bring risks as well as benefits. Alan Thorogood and Stephanie Woerner work through the issues and share a case study from Bendigo Bank in their new article in European Business Review. #xtechs #bendigobank #innovation #partnerships #riskmanagement #transformation #agility

These MIT CISR 50th anniversary recollections have given us an opportunity to revisit research projects, highlight important research findings and most importantly, remember colleagues from over the years. And moving forward, we have great team in place to help make CISR 3.0: Innovate, Excite, and Scale a reality. The MIT CISR research team, Peter Weill, Stephanie Woerner, Barb Wixom, Alan Thorogood, Ina Sebastian, and Nick van der Meulen, along with industry and academic collaborators, are eager to identify new, exciting research questions, explore those questions via surveys, interviews, and other methods, and then synthesize results into best practices and frameworks that companies can use. Supporting the research team and our consortium members is the MIT CISR administrative team, among the best in the business. Christine Foglia, our Associate Director, leads the administrative team—and oversees the consortium member processes and platforms as well as events and financial analysis and control. Cheryl Miller manages our research content production and technology, getting the briefings out every month like clockwork and ensuring the website works smoothly. Isobela Byerly-Chapman works with Chris and Cheryl (and we’ve discovered she has deep talents in design and video editing). Margherita Di Pinto supports Stephanie and Barb, and helps Barb run the Data Advisory Board. Austin Van Groningen manages member engagement, adding new capabilities and processes to our member interactions, and helps bring new member offerings like Learning Programs to life. Dorothea Gray assists Peter and works with Austin on member engagement. Together, we at MIT CISR are looking forward to many more years of working and sharing with our members and the wider community.
