There all the schools had the opportunity to catch up on their latest projects and to share their experiences and best practices through short presentations by their respective CIOs.
Furthermore, they were able to learn in depth about the work of the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business’ IT department and its contribution in this institution.
Additionally, there was a series debates that covered common topics among the IT Business School community such as the challenges of managing large CRM implementations, adopting cybersecurity best practices with the minimal impact possible on the organization, trends in data & analytics, or the application of the latest audiovisual technologies available for online programs.
Finally, all the BCD meeting attendees had the opportunity to visit Emory Goizueta’s facilities and engaged with top leadership from the School.
