Presenters Mary Hill, Programmer Analyst Supervisor MSIS • maryhill@umich.edu • M.S. in Computer Science • 20-some years experience in Commercial and University IT • Responsible for applications development/ deployment and planning
Presenters Karen Dannemiller, Assoc Director Med School IS • karendan@umich.edu • M.S. /B.S. in Computer Science • 20-some years University experience in IT • Responsible for applications development/ deployment and planning
Overview • All experiencing revenue slow downs… • Research $$ available from the government • Educational support from the State • Schools need to be proactive • If we wait to be reactive, it will be too late • Schools need to focus on what is important • Schools need to manage better/smarter
Managing Better and Smarter • What is important to us? • Where are we now? • Are we where we should be? • Don’t wait for me to ask.
What’s Important to us? • Leadership tells us what’s important • We work out… • What to measure • Where to find the appropriate data
What’s Important to us? • For example • Leadership says that research is important. • We gather $ expended, $ submitted and $ awarded by department and by researcher by year • We all agree on the data source and the calculations used.
We are so lucky!! • We are blessed with a rich /wonderful data warehouse • General Ledger • Human Resources • Actual Payroll plus Expected Payroll • Space • Etc… • In our example • We extracted research $ expended from the GL. • We extracted researchers from HR. • We gathered research $ submitted and awarded from our own application.

Managing Better and Smarter • What is important to us? • Where are we now? • Reports • Report system • Are we where we should be? • Don’t wait for me to ask.
What do we want in a report system? • Good Reports • Create quality reports which provide the data to facilitate decision making • Easily Accessible • Would be nice to have ALL reports in ONE place • And preferably on the web • Easy to find the report you’re looking for • Appropriate security

Our official version of the truth • Simple Navigation through more than 100 reports.
Select Report Category: • Conflict of Interest Management • Faculty HR • Faculty Profile • Research Expenditures and Space • Research Submissions and Awards • Space Management • Teaching Effort
Table of contents Report Catalog if unsure…
Select a department Generate Report Want report emailed? Add to favorites
Category: Submissions and Awards Topic: Committed Awards Group: Department Report: Committed by Fed FY
Category: Expenditures and Space Group: Department Topic: Research Expenditures Report: Research Spending Trend
What is the Output? M-Stat Outcomes… • Don’t worry about getting it right the first time. • Functional and Technical staff work together to create useful reports quickly • Iterate. Update reports based on user feedback
What is the Output? but…. We had REPORTS.
What was wrong? • Our PBO said that he had lots of reports, but that he only used them for a doorstop. • Using our example, he could look at the reports and see research $ expended, awarded, proposals submitted by department by year. • He could see the current numbers for a particular department AND he could he the trend, but… • that didn’t tell him whether they were doing a good job or not.
Managing Better and Smarter • What is important to us? • Where are we now? • Are we where we should be? • Don’t wait for me to ask.
What drives the Medical School Toward Success? Are we where we should be? • PBO created a task force and asked us to • Obtain better understanding of metrics currently in use to manage various units of the Medical School • Determine relevant KPIs and Benchmarks • Ensure consistency with EVPMA and Dean’s Strategic Vision • Create a Dashboard to facilitate an accessible shared understanding of organizational direction
Survivor Revisited Are we where we should be? (cont.) KPI’s – Key Performance Indicators • Find and implement a better way to benchmark: • Financial Performance • Research Performance • Clinical Performance • Educational Performance • Management Performance
Performance Measurement: Attributes Attributes of Key Performance Indicators • Representative - Reflect mission/values of the School • Inclusive – based on inputs from those being measured • Dynamic – reviewed periodically • Comprehensive – Key financial and productivity data • Benchmarked – Past, Peer and External • Motivating – Promotes excellence, creativity and collaboration • Customized – Different measures for different departments
Performance Measurement: Pyramid of Integrated Measures Interrelation of KPIs Limited in number Department’s primary accountability to School Thresholds to layout minimal (maximal) levels of performance Key 2-4 per mission Of interest to School Examined if problems with key indicators/thresholds Strategic Department Departments maintain/monitor them Defined at Department/Section/Faculty level May vary from (and within) departments Section Operational Faculty
What Drives Success… KPIs as the common language • These are the metrics that the Dean will watch • These are the way we will benchmark • No more long discussions on how you got to your numbers and we got to ours… • Transparency between departments
What Drives Success… Back to our example • Are we using our space wisely? • Space Productivity KPI: Research $ / Sq Ft • What research $ do we use? • All research $ for a department? • Only research performed in Med School space? • What space data do we use? • Do we include shared space? • Just include lab space? • Refined definitions over time (Definition C/4) • Now we can compare one department to another and to other Medical Schools.
What Drives Success… What research $ do we use? • Must be Federal / NonFederal Fund Group • Exclude if… • P/Gs coded as Undergrad / Grad Scholarship • Research done off campus • P/G is a clinical trial • NIH construction or equipment • VA or IPA agreement • Subcontracted • Research not performed in “Med School occupied space”
What Drives Success… What space do we use? • Must be • Captured in M-Pathways space database • “Assignable Square Feet” – excludes restrooms, stairwells.. • Space occupied by medical school department • Exclude if Sheep Barn or Occupied by ULAM • Include if room type = … • Lab, Lab Service • Office by Pct coded as Research function • Animal Quarters • Animal Quarters Services, if Room subtype is Surgery
Build me a Dashboard I want … • To see our metrics • Transparency • The ability to do simple ‘what if’ analyses

M-Dash – Surprises and Lessons Learned Dashboard Outcomes… • Surprises • Dashboard Transparency – Not a big deal • Dashboard creation and implementation was relatively quick • Lessons Learned • Numbers must tie back to something users already trust. • Provide drill down for every table, every graph • People REALLY care about productivity when their salary is tied to it.
