2019 Representative to MIT CISR Research Forum (Europe)

ISACA seeks up to three senior-level members to represent ISACA at the MIT CISR 2019 Research Forum (Europe), hosted by Heineken in Amsterdam.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Information Systems Research (MIT CISR) forums are intended for sponsor and patron senior-level managers from any part of the organization (e.g., from both within and outside the IT unit) who are responsible for digital transformation, such as designing, building and applying capabilities that leverage digital technologies to improve operations and/or customer offerings. The agenda will draw on new research or build extensively on current research projects to provide new insights into challenging problems as companies transform for digital. Sessions by MIT CISR researchers Jeanne Ross, Joe Peppard, Barb Wixom, Nick van der Meulen and Nils Fonstad will be highly interactive and include data and cases from multiple sectors.

MIT CISR is a partner of ISACA’s, and this opportunity offers a unique learning and networking opportunity for selected participants. Review the conference agenda here.
