Seven urgent challenges data governance can help solve

As every facet of higher ed continues to change, you need data to guide your way. Yet nearly half of colleges and universities report persistent challenges with siloed or inconsistent data.

Data governance, the practice of sharing and caring for institutional data so that it is accessible and trusted, offers benefits for every team in your institution, not only those who consider themselves “data people.” But too often, the work of establishing good data governance gets sidelined in favor of urgent day-to-day demands. A strong data governance strategy is one of the most effective tools institutions have for addressing both immediate needs and long-term goals. How could your institution benefit from better data governance?

Explore this infographic to understand seven urgent challenges today’s colleges and universities are facing—and the role of data governance in responding to them.
