Data to Inform Decisions

Data and Systems Governance Guide

The role of Chief Business Officers (CBOs) frequently involves spearheading the creation of business value. CBOs offer a unique opportunity to serve as a driving force for decisions guided by data. Because they routinely engage with crucial data across the organization, CBOs are increasingly transforming this data into practical, forward-thinking insights that surpass conventional reporting duties. This toolkit provides CBOs with a constructed framework – visually represented as a journey map - to support colleges and universities on a path to responsible data infrastructure, management, and stewardship while advancing the use of analytics to support the institution's mission, vision, and values.
