I am a huge fan of the Franz\u00a0 Edelman Award for Achievement in Operations Research and the Management Sciences<\/a> (best work in operations research practice) given by INFORMS<\/a>.\u00a0 The applications are uniformly inspiring and the presentations go way, way beyond the norm for our field.\u00a0 The full papers, published every January in Interfaces<\/em><\/a>, are ones that I actually look forward to (something I don’t do for my own papers!), and form a big part of an MBA course I teach here.<\/p>\n

Being an Edelman finalist is a tremendous commitment:\u00a0 in addition to the full paper, the presentation generally requires the cooperation of a Cxx of the firm\u00a0 (for suitably high xx: EO is great!).\u00a0 Don’t try to get by with half-baked work here:\u00a0 you won’t get past the initial phase.\u00a0 But if you become a finalist (let alone a winner), the fame is worth it!\u00a0 This is a great opportunity to get the attention a level or three higher than you might otherwise (and give the Cxx the opportunity to brag on your behalf).<\/p>\n

If you are doing operations research that is truly changing how an organization works, I strongly encourage you to enter it in the competition.\u00a0 The initial phase only requires a 2-3 page description.\u00a0 See the full details here<\/a>.\u00a0 Deadline is October 21, so get typing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
