How to Become a Data-Empowered Institution

EDUCAUSE identified “the data-empowered institution” as the top issue facing higher education IT teams in 2025—and for good reason. With financial challenges due to uncertain enrollment and the “demographic cliff” here, colleges and universities will increasingly rely on data to make critical decisions and operate efficiently for their students.

Higher education institutions are awash in data. But what does it take to truly be a “data-empowered institution?” In this practical webinar, you’ll explore methods of framing your data governance program for agility and efficacy. We will also delve into getting your teams—not just the data and analytics team—up to speed on data literacy. Finally, you’ll hear from data experts across roles and gain tangible insights for transforming your team and institution into an agile, data-literate workforce.

Learning outcomes:

  • Create an agile data governance framework.
  • Develop data literacy among your team and other institutional partners.
