- Assign clear ownership for data quality, review cycles, and decision rights.
- Connect planning, evidence, analytics, and improvement actions in one repeatable process.
How Universities Measure Success
- Clear ownership and governance for the process.
- Reliable data that can be reviewed by leadership and operational teams.
