Data management plays a central role in leading modern business schools forward. It supports external compliance, accreditation, rankings, stakeholder accountability, strategising, risk management, internal management-by-objectives, portfolio performance measurement, assurance of learning, publishing and granting quality assurance more generally – a list that can easily be further extended. As a consequence, business schools have to collect, process, analyse and maintain more data than ever before. This trend of institutional management becoming more data-driven is likely to continue in the foreseeable future. As data management assumes a more strategic role in business school development, it also requires systematic senior management attention.
This how-to workshop will provide you with the tools to understand the power of data in creating strategies and finding smart and simple ways to source, build, embed, and recycle data for multiple purposes.
You will develop an in-depth understanding of Smart Data Management in business schools and higher education contexts, and you will be able to evaluate the positioning of your institution in the light of the basic principles and best practices of SDM.
The group exercise will provide you with practical experience, allow you to take stock of your institution’s use of data, and help you better understand the interconnectedness of various factors at play.
This workshop will be especially relevant to quality assurance professionals, professional and academic staff responsible for rankings and data management and anybody wishing to understand the power of data in business schools and higher education contexts.
