Letter from the Directors
Dear Stakeholder,
The Center for Digital Strategies focuses on enabling business strategy through digital strategies that harness a company's unique competencies. We are excited to report our progress this year in achieving this mission within all three of our key constituencies: research academics, corporate executives, MBA students.
With awards of over one million dollars this year from the Department of Homeland Security and the National Institute of Standards, we initiated major new research efforts in information security and trust. Early results from this work have been accepted in the most prestigious research conferences and highlighted in managerial articles published by the business press. Related work was also published in a presidential report (National Infrastructure Advisory Council) with CDS participation in the study group. Our security research has also impacted the top corporate security managers in the country through our workshop for chief information security officers. Finally, the academic research conference on supply chain management that we held last year precipitated a special issue of the academic journal Interfaces that we edited—extending and archiving the impact of this world-class event.
Our corporate roundtable series enjoyed growing influence and deep participation from our core group of Fortune 500 firms. Executives from 3M, Bechtel, Cargill, Cisco, Dell, Eastman Chemical, Eaton, GM, Hasbro, HP, IBM, Owens Corning, and Select Comfort, along with academics from Tuck, Michigan, Columbia, Babson, and Minnesota, participated in this series of three roundtables. We also launched our first joint-venture with Tuck Executive Education and Brimstone Consulting, hosting a workshop for CIOs on strategic partnering and leading change.
This year yielded a number of publications and media mentions in high impact venues including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and Financial Times. With the San Francisco-based firm Enterprise Insight, the center launched an online magazine entitled "CIO Leadership Notes". This series of interviews with leading CIOs aims to provide provocative and relevant thought-leadership content to the community of large-enterprise CIOs. We also re-launched Radio Tuck with a wide-range of actively accessed podcasts of executive interviews.
Internally, our Tech@Tuck MBA events brought leading technology executives from different industries together to discuss the emerging digital home. As with all Tech@Tuck events, we also put a wide range of state-of-the-art technology into the hands of our students. Additionally, we developed two new cases that impacted the MBA core curriculum and executive education. And we hosted a range of speakers in our research seminar series entitled "Technology, Innovation, and Learning".
We invite you to read our Annual Report below to get the details on events, people, and publications, and learn more about the center's exciting accomplishments.
Sincerely,
| M. Eric Johnson |

Corporate Roundtables
This year, the center organized three corporate roundtables for the Thought Leadership Roundtable on Digital Strategies (TLRDS) series. Each TLRDS 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:
Leveraging the Enterprise through Process Transformation

Strategic Partnering: Managing Joint Ventures and Alliances
February 28, 2006, Durham, NC

In addition to hosting the roundtable series, the center hosted two workshops.
In March, the center co-hosted with the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection a security workshop to discuss the challenges of organizing for security. CISOs and other senior security executives from 17 Fortune 500 firms participated in this event—including 3M, Bank of America, Bose, Cisco, Colgate-Palmolive, Eastman Chemical, Eaton, IBM, Medtronic, Pep Boys, Time Warner Cable and the U.S. Army.

Tech@Tuck
Tech@Tuck is a center-sponsored series of annual events for the Tuck and greater Dartmouth community that highlight digital technologies and their personal or business implications. This series features panels comprised of executives debating topics of interest to students and faculty, as well as hands-on demonstrations of the latest associated gadgets and devices. This year the center held two events around the topic of the Digital Home. Content overviews and other event-related materials to this year's Tech@Tuck events are available at the links below:
Intel in the Digital Home (Tech@Tuck)

The Emerging Digital Home (Tech@Tuck)

Next year's theme will be Security: in addition to hosting a panel at Tuck, we are also working with the Hopkins Center to bring "SuperVision"—a theatrical production that explores the relationship between electronic information, security, and identity—to Dartmouth.
Academic Seminars and Conferences
The center promotes research and discussion related to technological innovation and organizational learning. This year, the center continued to add speakers to the seminar series entitled Technology, Innovation, and Learning (TIL).

Website Development
During the year, the center stepped up the rotation of its content, adding new articles to the homepage more frequently. There is a new section focusing on the new seminar series, and an expanded section for the center's case studies library, including a comprehensive chart and reprint permission form. We have also added a mailing list form to collect contact information for those interested in receiving regular news from the center, and an RSS feed so individuals can receive updates for Radio Tuck.
The site has seen a marked increase in traffic, averaging more than 2,000 requests for pages per week since the beginning of this academic year. This is an increase of 46% from last year's numbers. The web sign-up forms have generated several requests to be added to our mailing list, as well as requests from professors to review cases for their courses and to see teaching notes. Our Radio Tuck RSS feed went live in December and shortly after was added to the iTunes store. After press pieces on Tuck's website and Dartmouth's VOX, the feed recorded a 150% increase in hits in the second month. The url for our site is: www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/digitalstrategies.
Below are two charts noting the increased traffic trend. For each chart below, click on the image to enlarge.
