Letter from the Directors
Dear Stakeholder,
This has been another exciting year at the Center. In this report, we outline our key achievements within all three of our mission areas: Scholarly Research, Executive Dialog, and MBA Program Enrichment. As you can see, the Britt Series plowed exciting new ground focusing on the impact of mobile technology. Besides the usual lineup of outstanding speakers and panels brought to Tuck, the series included, appropriately, experiments with the use of apps to better communicate the series both within and outside of Tuck.
The Roundtable on Digital Strategies again brought leading CIOs and line/functional executives into dialog on both sides of the Atlantic. Notably, the roundtable discussed both the risks and challenges of the downturn and opportunities to build for recovery. Our security research agenda shifted to focus on healthcare—an increasingly important topic for our country and Dartmouth. The new work was jump started by a $3M grant from the National Science Foundation for a project called Trustworthy Information Systems for Healthcare. In that project, CDS is part of an interdisplinary team including researchers from the Dartmouth’s medical school, sociology, and computer science. And like other years we ran both our CISO workshop and our BESP executive education program for information security professionals.
We were really pleased to welcome Kelli Pippin onto our team as our Marketing and Web Manager—she is quickly pulling our public-facing content into much better shape, with major new web initiatives underway for next year. Eric spent the year at Stanford, giving the center more west coast visibility and growing our own organizational ability to operate virtually.
With graduation over, we are excited to share the success of the past year and even more excited to further our progress for the upcoming 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 |

Corporate Roundtables
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 500 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 Engagement and the Information Security Professional (BESP) program for 17 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.
