As your TRB planning continues, we have two more workshops that might be of interest to our members. Note that the second one is on Saturday, before the main conference begins.
1. Analyze This! Three Unsolved Planning Mysteries (Sunday, 9am-12pm)
Please join us Sunday Morning at TRB for a new kind of workshop: Analyze This! Three Unsolved Planning Mysteries. Our world is changing and so are the questions being asked by companies, planners, and decision-makers. Help us solve some newly released planning mysteries on the non-fiction best seller list by participating in this interactive TRB workshop. We selected three problems from dozens of submissions that are corporate, local, and regional in scope and require a diversity of expertise to solve. Working in small, problem-specific teams, workshop participants will develop a strategy to share with the audience, compare and evaluate their peers, and collectively develop some next steps and potential research directions.
Report in person to: Workshop #114 Sunday, January 10, 2016 • 9 AM – 12 PM • D.C. Convention Center
We will be releasing a new mystery on "Mystery Mondays" each week in December on our website in order to promote dialog ahead of time about how to approach the problems. The first mystery will be revealed on December 7th so stay tuned...
