Predictive modeling allows colleges to plan for the future without risking changes to existing data, identify focus areas to achieve targets, and understand what will happen. It can be used to model any process like applications, funding, room utilization, running costs, and staffing. Predictive modeling provides an easy to use, rapid prediction tool that saves time compared to spreadsheets. It also gives senior managers increased visibility. The Dynistics predictive modeling dashboard specifically allows colleges to forecast key metrics over time, benchmark against previous and national data, and drill down into details. It is highly customizable with options for targets, templates, dynamic text, and automatic refreshing.
