Showcase Webinar | The Strategic Era of Data and Analytics
Sponsored by Jenzabar and K16 Solutions | 2026 EDUCAUSE Mission Partners
Data and analytics are a goldmine for institutions seeking to understand enrollment trends, drive student success, consider financial pain points, and build capabilities for operational and budgetary efficiencies. However, using data effectively requires building decision-maker data skills and literacy and foundational data governance.
In this EDUCAUSE Showcase Webinar, you’ll learn from institutional and industry thought leaders as they explore how institutions can grow data competencies and leverage insights for strategic data-informed decision making.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn from examples of how institutions are using data to inform operational and financial decision-making.
- Learn strategies for developing data literacy and building a coordinated, data-centric culture across the institution.
- Articulate the strategic importance of data governance programs.
