The document summarizes a conference session on a business intelligence project between HESA and Jisc. It provides an overview of Jisc's analytics activities and the goals of the HESA and Jisc BI Project, which included launching a website and data exploration tools. Attendees participated in an exercise to identify priority questions and data needs that could be addressed by the project, with their responses to be compiled on the project website. Next steps include regional workshops and using the feedback to inform future milestones and priorities for the project.
