Higher education institutions face common challenges and opportunities when it comes to leveraging siloed data to solve challenges ranging from business, enrollment, learning, to student success initiatives. This session provides a blueprint for higher education institutions - wherever they are on their data journey. Working backwards from strategic objectives, this session will cover steps necessary to progress on the data journey, including assessing current capabilities, exploring multiple paths forward, selecting the right path, building an implementation plan, and deploying. We will be sharing real customer experiences and inviting attendees to get hands on practice with each of the steps. If you are in a leadership position at your institution, or are aligned with IT decisions, please consider attending.
