  3. Key Take Aways • A framework for data driven decision making • A model for addressing data needs and the capacity to make it real • An outline for a data plan with action steps • Useful tools and approaches • Resources to share and leverage 3

  4. Data Driven Decision Making (DDDM)What it is and what it does • Using data to inform or support decisions • Having the right data in the right format at the right time for the right purpose • Enables a learning organization • Is a key element of transparency and accountability • Helps remove barriers to organizational change 4

  5. Guiding Questions • What is meant by a culture that supports data-driven decision making (DDDM)? • What things need to exist that promote the effective use of data? • What barriers exist to building and sustaining a DDDM culture? • What are some measureable benefits of DDDM? Adapted from CoSN Annual Conference, March 10-12, 2009 5

  15. Operational vs Strategic • Most data at the U of MN originates in transactional systems (generally PeopleSoft) • Operational and strategic decisions, however, require the data to be in different forms and follow different rules

  16. Operational Questions • What’s happening right now • What action needs to be taken • Choices generally pre-determined and “triggered” by data • Interest is usually in individual cases and current values • The closer to “real time” the better 16

  17. Strategic Questions • What is the trend? • What plans should we make? • Choices generally open for discussion and debate • Interest is generally in aggregates and trends • Data needs to remain unchanged over time 17

  18. Beyond List Reporting • What if analysis • Forecasting • Statistical analysis • Predictive modeling • Alerts and triggers • Dashboards and scorecards • Actionable insight 18

  19. Define the decision to be made or question to be answered Identify data requirements and availability Gather, format and consolidate data Analyze to generate conclusions Take appropriate actions Translating data into action 19

  20. Building Capacity Enabling Data Driven Decision Making • Engaged, supportive leadership • Effective staffing • Training and professional development • Common language • Collaborative environment • Modest IT infrastructure 20

  27. Mind Mapping “A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_Mapping 27

  42. Logic of a Strategic Management System Utilizing Balanced Scorecard Strategic Altitude 30,000 Values Mission Vision 25,000 Strategic perspectives Strategic themes and results OBJECTIVES 15,000 Strategy map Performance measures & targets Strategic initiatives Ground Org Assessment (SWOT, Those We Serve) What we stand for / our code of conduct Who we are / why we exist / key features of our organization Emotionally inspiring picture of future success for our organization Lenses to ensure balance of our efforts Main areas of focus to best serve “Those We Serve” Strategic effort areas to achieve success / get results Map of how objectives will achieve success (organized into perspectives) How we will know if we are achieving desired results Specific projects that contribute to desired results 42

  43. The Strategy Map and the Balanced Scorecard bridged the strategy implementation gap. They link leadership at the top to management of initiatives, process improvements and employees’ everyday actions.
