The Challenge

Adoption of BI tools remains below 25%

since 2005*

• Data stale and buried in silos, hard to share across departments

• Information hard to find and even harder to integrate

• Strategic plans static, out of date, not aligned across institution

• Staff not using data to improve decision making

• Systems expensive and risky to install and maintain

• User interface confusing and difficult to navigate*Cindi Howson, Principal, BIScorecard,

“The Successful BI Survey,” 2013

• Just brought in to lead university through a major transformation.

• Accustomed to spending first 20 minutes of day reviewing data. Culture shock.

• “We can’t get that information” is common response, yet accountability looms large.

• Staff are clearly frustrated by requests for data that is difficult to access or simply doesn’t exist.

• Investing more resources in existing BI systems will only increase cost, risk, and agility to innovate.

The Classic Higher Ed Story

“I know we’re not meeting strategic goals, but I lack data showing exactly where, why, and by how much.”

University President
