[Heikki Topi]

Please join us for the second webinar organized by AIS and AACSB MaCuDE
project’s IS task force on Wednesday, June 9, 2021, 10 am - 11:30 am EDT.
This webinar will provide the members of the IS community with a
preliminary overview of the findings of the second stage of the project.
These findings highlight industry needs for competencies related to big
data, advanced analytics, and AI based on interviews of industry experts
and leaders from around the globe.

Please register for the webinar at
https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sLiZyQ-SR8ixVJre8KFn3g .

The event summarizes the initial results of the in-depth interviews of
industry experts and discusses implications for future educational needs.
Building on the key observations, the webinar welcomes the participants to
join in a conversation to interpret the meaning of these findings for the
IS discipline. The discussion will particularly focus on the role of
advanced analytics and AI in future business school curricula and the ways
in which developments in these areas of study and practice are impacting
the field of IS in the business school context. The outcomes of the
conversation will inform the MaCuDE IS task force’s Stage II report to this
AACSB project as a whole. Please join us to help ensure that the voice of
the AIS community is heard in this important discussion!

Kalle Lyytinen (Case Western Reserve University) and Heikki Topi (Bentley
University) will serve as moderators of the webinar together with MaCuDE IS
task force advisory board members Olivia Sheng (The University of Utah) and
Joe Valacich (University of Arizona).
