About the programme

Course Overview

The distance between a working prototype of student performance analytics and a system the business can depend on is where most budgets disappear. Boards are asking for measurable returns from this strand of digital and data-driven work, not demonstrations. It is written for people who have to make the digital and data-driven work capability work with the resources they already have. They leave able to brief senior management on student performance analytics in terms that support a decision. Moving this part of digital and data-driven work from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Mature organisations treat the wider digital and data-driven work agenda as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a delivery roadmap for student performance analytics as they go. The programme takes participants through this aspect of digital and data-driven work end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within digital and data-driven work that participants can repeat annually.
