How Data Can Benefit Colleges & Universities: Part 1

Data remains an important resource for higher education institutions, as it can be used to make logical decisions and identify future trends. Moreover, data validates these institutions’ decisions and allows them to discover new opportunities, while building integral stakeholder relationships.

In this first episode of a two-part series within Cherry Bekaert’s Digital Journeys podcast, Jim Holman, Director and Strategy & Operations Leader, welcomes Anthony Pember, Director in our Digital Advisory practice. Together, they unpack the value and benefits of data so that higher education institutions can make better and faster decisions.

Listen to our first episode of the series to learn more about:

  • Adopting data-centric strategy to drive organizational change across higher education institutions
  • Complying with the regulatory environment mandated by educational and government entities
  • Understanding the importance of data analytics to grow business value and maximize ROI
  • Gaining insight into the effectiveness of higher education metrics and demographics

Stay tuned for part 2 of this series, when we will discuss how data can help with student success, such as steps to consider when advising students on their career paths.
