About Us

At Gies College of Business, our faculty teach a curriculum based on putting purpose to practice while conducting and applying rigorous research to contemporary business problems. Our approachable faculty are leaders in their fields – many with decades of industry experience – who set the standards of excellence in their research, teaching, and mentoring.

The Collaboratory Mission

While everyone understands the value of data, there is a significant shortage of talent and capabilities among firms to leverage this asset strategically and to combine the understanding with robust operational execution across the value chain. The IOSA faculty have a well-rounded knowledge of analytics, machine learning, dynamic operational decision making, artificial intelligence, and algorithms that can contribute to addressing this shortage.

Our Goals

  1. Empower firms to use data as a strategic asset by leveraging research backed insights and faculty expertise.
  2. Create a community council of partnerships and researchers by providing a structured engagement model.
  3. Create a knowledge portal through curation and publication of research outputs.
