August 12 Episode #3 - On-demand Video Stream

The video stream of the August 12 episode is now available for streaming or downloading for your commute home. The overall topic of the event is “The Post-Pandemic Workplace and Customer Experience.”
 
The event had two sections. In the first, Irving Wladawsky-Berger moderated a panel on “What Will the Post-Pandemic Workplace Be Like?” with Mehdi Daoudi of Catchpoint Systems and the 2019 CIO Award winner Eash Sundaram of JetBlue. 

The second panel, “Driving Customer Experience Strategies Through Technology,” was moderated by Paul Michelman, MIT Sloan Management Review. Paul was joined by Gail Evans of Mercer, Akash Khurana of McDermott Inc, and MIT Sloan’s Dr. Renée Gosline. Dr. Gosline also presented an overview of her research work on the consumer decision process.

Planning for 2021 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium
or Digital Learning Series
Believe it or not, we're already beginning to plan for 2021. We don't yet know what will be possible, but we do know that we are committed to delivering excellent discussions targeted at the CIO community. We will periodically survey our audience to help with our planning process. Results will be discussed during the monthly updates that I do with Christopher Reichert.
