Executive Intelligence

Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment cannot exist solely in the Institutional Research and Effectiveness offices. Implementing institutional strategies requires that departments at every level (such as Student Services and Academic) be able to define and monitor quantitative and qualitative goals. Administrators, Institutional Researchers, and Planners must be able to view the status of these goals on a timely basis without repetitive, time-consuming data entry.

Monitor Quantifiable KPI’s

Define an Institutional Framework

• Create measures and weighting factors for each strategic priority
• Structure KPI’s by strategic priority or by your organizational structure

Automate Data Collection and View All Data Consistently

• Automate integration of outcome information from your ERP (i.e. Datatel Colleague, PeopleSoft, Banner, etc.)
• Make use of computed metrics not available on your ERP (i.e. stop-outs, cohorts, learning communities, etc.)
• Automate integration of student services / intervention metrics via theStudent Engagement module (i.e. How many at-risk students were seen by advisors? How many students were successful - persistence / graduation / transfer?)
• Automate integration of other data sources (i.e. National Student Clearinghouse, CCSSE, NSSE, etc.) to show transfer or student satisfaction

Drill-down on Problem Areas

• See progress through easy to understand “red, yellow, green” indicators
• Drill-down to underlying metrics (i.e. “Retain 72% of students in core curriculum.”)
• Web-based and seamless drill through to the Research Intelligence module for more in-depth analysis (i.e. view student performance by demographics, cohort, test scores)

Key Performance Indicators

Note: The KPI views have been based on the work done by the Baldrige Award-winning school, Richland College.

Consistently Report Progress

Create a Distributed Institutional Effectiveness Process

• Allow people at all levels of your institution to define and monitor key performance indicators for their functional areas (academic and student services)

• For each measure, assign owners to ensure follow-through

Program Review (Planned Module)

• Allow academic department heads to see detailed performance of their program and create Unit Action Plans
• See Profit / Loss by program

Personalized Reporting and Collaboration

My Reports

• Executives receive reports on the progress of their areas (such as academic, student services, etc.)
• Automatically receive reports at on a specific schedule (i.e. every week, census day, etc.)
• Receive reports as email attachments (i.e. PDF, Excel, etc) with a link to interactive web-based reports

Reporting Services

Web-based Collaboration

• Upload files of any type to “My Reports” (i.e. Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.)
• Publish / Share reports with others to collaborate on issues
