Crowdsourcing for #internalcomms. Creating shared insight through curious met...Meaning Business
Great discoveries are driven by curiosity: capturing and applying insight takes a methodical approach. Collaborative approaches can provide communicators information from the front-line that drives greater business knowledge that can be turned into performance-driving insight. With employees accustomed to rating, sharing and peer-based recommendations outside work, crowd-sourcing is an important approach inside the company. This interactive session will explore methods that generate more than an employee wish list.
Two-way communication in a networked world: user experience (UX), appreciative inquiry and crowd sourcing

Jumbo Cafe: Building the right solution with Dr. Sanna GaspardElaine Chen
Professor Elaine Chen, Director of the Derby Entrepreneurship Center at Tufts, will be joined by Sanna Gaspard, Ph.D., CoFounder & CEO of Rubitection in an interactive workshop on how to build the right solution that solves the right problems for your target customers. We will cover how to describe your solution concept so it speaks to your customers, how to think about your competitive advantage and how to position your solution so it is different and better than the alternative. We will use Sanna's company, Rubitection, a medical devices company, as a case study to see how these frameworks and skills apply in real life.
Antifragile: Entrepreneurial Thinking in a Rapidly Changing WorldElaine Chen
In this talk, we explore the concept of "Antifragility" - the ability to survive and thrive under stress, becoming stronger and better than before a crisis. We explore how entrepreneurs fundamentally have to be antifragile, and how we might adopt this mindset and help others in our organizations to do the same.
In this talk, Elaine dispells three myths about robots taking jobs from humans, and reflects on the future of work with robots and humans working in collaboration.
MEMSI 2019: Disciplined Entrepreneurship overview | Building a Winning TeamElaine Chen
We review the Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework which helps entrepreneurs approach venture building in 3 phases: Defining who the customer is, deciding what they can do for the customer, and figuring out how to make money. We then talk about how to build an effective team, including roles and responsibilities, effective team process and conflict resolution.
Primary Market Research in Emerging MarketsElaine Chen
In this interactive workshop, we explore best practices in performing primary market research in an emerging/frontier market where the researchers themselves may not speak the language or know the culture or use case.
Introduction to Primary Market ResearchElaine Chen
In this talk, we follow the early journey of Aavia, an MIT femtech startup, and learn how they used best practices to conduct primary market research in three areas: Discovery research, solution research, and willingness to pay. We wrap up the session with an in-class exercise to practice the technique of open ended interviews.
Introduction to Disciplined EntrepreneurshipElaine Chen
In this talk, we follow the story of Spyce, an MIT startup featuring restaurants with a robot kitchen, and look at how they navigated the key themes in Disciplined Entrepreneurship: Who is your customer, What can you do for your customer, and Making Money.
In this lighthearted talk, Elaine looks at what's changed between when she graduated from MIT and when fresh graduates will hit the workforce next June - and discusses strategies for smaller companies, or companies that are not in one of the tech hubs, to attract MIT talent to go work for them.
In this ideation workshop, we start with a warmup exercise to practice the following skills: Structured independent brainstorming with sticky notes, the "check-in" method of team discussion and sharing, and the process of organizing sticky notes into categories. In the second part, we ideate problems each person wants to solve in the FinTech realm, and go through the check-in process for sharing. Participants then classify the ideas, down select to 2, then practice the "yes, and" rule in building on those 2 ideas.
In this two-part workshop, we first explore what makes a good founding team, and invite participants to reflect on what roles (hacker, hipster, hustler) they prefer and what skills they bring to the table. We further invite them to think about what they are passionate about. In the second part of the workshop, we explore the importance of defining clear roles and responsibilities, and go through Harvard University Professor Linda Hill's 5 key takeaways for good team process.
In this session we kick off MEFTI - a one-week-long FinTech startup bootcamp. We cover what to expect, do some team building, and end with a challenge for the cohort to think expansively about problems worth solving in different FinTech industry verticals.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
