Seminar 04F - Crafting a Strategy and Action Plan for Analytics for Your Campus (separate registration required)

We'll use a Toolkit for Building Organizational Capacity for Analytics, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to review the basic concepts of analytics organizational capacity—technology, processes and practices, people and skills, culture and behavior, and leadership—to learn how to assess readiness for analytics. After discussing how to craft and execute an action plan and strategy for building analytics organizational capacity for the campus and exploring how to integrate and leverage existing processes—strategic planning, strategic enrollment management, professional development, resource allocation, accreditation, and institutional effectiveness—you'll learn how to create rapid victories demonstrating the power of evidence-based decision making, focus leadership on optimizing student success, and set stretch goals and targets. You'll also learn how to use all toolkit resources, including case studies illustrating best practices in optimizing student success through analytics and crafting action strategies to accelerate analytics capacity building.
