Description: How to Build a Data Culture at Your Institution
Higher education leaders increasingly see the benefits of empowering staff across the institution to make data-informed decisions. Yet, getting data out of a spreadsheet and into the meetings where decisions are being made takes strategic vision, buy-in, and data literacy. In short, it takes changing people – and (perhaps you’ve noticed?) people can be hard to change. Join our keynote speaker, Dr. Tait Kellogg, as she talks about strategic steps for building an institution-wide data culture.
