Reviews for Data Strategy in Colleges and Universities: From Understanding to Implementation

Data Strategy in Colleges and Universities makes a compelling case for the importance of thinking about how to integrate data with planning efforts at postsecondary institutions. Readers will enjoy the mix of theoretical concepts and practical advice for how to achieve this goal. Of particular value are the chapters that discuss the topic from the perspective of administrators, faculty, institutional researchers, and IT professionals. The book should be a must-read for any institution that struggles with how to produce the information needed for effective strategic planning. -Robert K. Toutkoushian, Professor, Institute of Higher Education; Editor, Research in Higher Education, University of Georgia, USA Kristina and her co-authors provided unique insights and practical recommendations into a modern problem. I wish every higher education leader in this country would read this book and establish a data strategy before investing more institutional resources into data analytics. -P. Daniel Chen, Associate Professor, George Mason University, USA
