INSTITUTIONAL DATA MANAGEMENT

CREATE YOUR DATA FRAMEWORK

DATA GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

Accurate data is integral to institutional planning and effectiveness. Data-informed decisions is the new way to create an effective strategic plan and measure its effectiveness. Creating a Data Governance Framework can help institutions develop their strategy for continuous improvement.

DATA STEWARDSHIP

THE CHALLENGES OF CAMPUSES DATA

Creating a Data Governance Framework for continuous improvement is a massive undertaking. Your attention should focus on how individual priorities blend together for the greater good of the institution. Some of the challenges faced by institutions are listed below.

COMPLEX CAMPUS DATA

The data needed for this large-scale campus initiative is complex and frequently aspirational in nature.

CAMPUS ECOSYSTEM

Most campus ecosystems have a longitudinal scope. Patience is needed to explore the process.

CAMPUS SILOED DATA

Campus data often lives in siloed areas where access and transparency, by design, are not universally shared.

DATA GOVERNANCE PLAN

We explore issues of diversity and equity as well as concepts around data collection, data security, and a data plan. When aligned with a continuous improvement model, these concepts provide the roadmap to ensure that campus data governance needs are met. To achieve the desired outcomes, we follow the following three steps of data governance.

Convene a data stewardship team
Manage a sound data infrastructure
Build a culture of data fluency

INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH

Our team works together with institutions to create sound data infrastructure. We can conduct a data readiness assessment to ensure the data infrastructure is ready for a campus-wide improvement project. We assist with creating data dictionaries, automated feeds, deploying new technologies, and structuring data for uploads in systems such as IPEDS. We provide the backbone support needed when managing new technologies throughout an initiative’s lifecycle.
