Description:

It’s what every academic leader wants, but only a handful of institutions have achieved this culture shift. To be successful, deans and department chairs need access to quality, timely information, but many lack both the knowledge and resources to address their critical issues.

This presentation will examine the terminology and its impact on the institution, describe the challenges and benefits of its implementation, illustrate the resources/skill-sets needed, and offer real-world examples of analyses that help to predict future student demand by identifying the data elements necessary for success.

In this age of “doing more with less,” this presentation will offer methods and metrics that target roadblocks and red flags to student success and faculty productivity, providing best practices in creating a culture informed by data and not driven by anecdotes.
