THE future of universities will be discussed at a two-day conference starting today.
The free Dashboarding for Peak University Performance event was being held at the University of Nottingham and was aimed at people in universities responsible for the effective use of data to monitor and report on performance.
Conference organiser Dr Tom Loya said: "UK higher education is coming late to what most businesses have seen as a bread-and-butter activity for a long time.
"Given what it takes to develop a robust capability to acquire, manage, report and effectively distribute performance data in a way that really changes behaviours – and the imperative for universities to do this – I think we can expect to see major efforts to improve in this area across the sector. But many may struggle to do this in good time or successfully, if at all."
