Building and Sustaining a Data Informed Organization

Building and Sustaining a Data Informed Organization around student success is a year-long community of practice (CoP) where the Gardner Institute will partner with colleges and universities to walk through the steps necessary to create this institutional culture. A data-informed culture is characterized by the reliance on data to guide decision-making processes, shape strategies, and inform improvements. This includes ensuring an infrastructure exists to provide faculty and staff at all levels of the organization with real-time operational data and key performance indicators, as well as providing ongoing governance and training to use the data to increase student success.
