Title of entry: Data In Action Meetings

About this entry: Are you drowning in data? Paralyzed by the meaning of all those touchpoints, open rates and CTRs? With more pressure than ever on higher ed to make better, more informed decisions, we created “Data In Action” meetings. These are scoped one-hour meetings that use data to answer practical questions about a project or process. These meetings have three basic principles that anyone can follow and have transformed our department from one paralyzed by data and metrics to a data-loving group that looks to our audience’s behavior (as expressed in all those numbers) to help us make our next important decision.
