Empowering Data-Driven Insights: leveraging effective data governance to enhance institutional research capabilities
(May 2023)
Data, Data everywhere
Andy Youell
This online seminar explored the crucial role of data governance and data management as a key enabler for institutional research. Drawing on the expertise of national leaders in data governance in higher education, this seminar discussed the building blocks of data governance in institutions, the relationship between data governance, reporting and insights, and decision-making in institutions. We also explored how institutional researchers can contribute to and influence the development and implementation of strong data governance within their institutions.
We heard from two experts, Andy Youell and John Britton, followed by a Q&A session chaired by members of our Planning Group, Paula Keys, University of South Wales and Aisling McKenna, Dublin City University.
