The rise of data - business value and the management imperativesSheriff Shitu
Directing the attention of business managers and strategy executives away from the flood of Big Data marketing unto internal organizational factors important for the success of Data-related initiatives. Such include developing a coherent understanding of the potential of data, assessing the preparedness of the business from a capability perspective, limiting waste by starting small, and understanding the requirements for sustaining these initiatives through strategy, culture, and governance.

Degree Productivity
McKinsey found:
• US needs to produce 1M more graduates
by 2020 to insure we have skilled workers
• This requires increasing degree
productivity 23% by 2020
• Lacking increases in public funding or
tuition, innovation is required
• Eight top institutions achieved degree
productivity up to 60% better than their
peer group average
• This provides lessons for other institutions
trying to meet fiscal challenges
What implications does this have
for the UMASS system?

approach”

12. Degree Productivity
Five Strategies
• Helping Students to Graduate
- 4 Year Program Graduation Rates: 37 – 62%: Increasing this rate through
―structured pathways, effective student support, effective placement,
college preparation and more
Raising • Reducing non productive credits
Matriculation - ―Excess crediting‖ adds to the cost of a degree and diminishes productivity.
This can be addressed by tutoring, tracking and intervening, transfer
Rate policies to conserve credits, ….
• Redesigning instruction
Reducing Cost
- Top institutions reduced cost 17 – 26% without compromising
per Student degree quality (avg. spend $7k per FTS- full time student equivalent)
• Redesigning core support services
- Top institutions introduced lean processes, organization
redesign and better purchasing (avg. spend $9k per FTSE)
• Optimizing non-core services and other
operations
- Focus on critical services, insure they are generating a surplus
and eliminating non critical services

Editor's Notes
Technology is transforming the education ecosystem, challenging long-held organizational structures, as well as the very concept of formal education as it has been known. CIOs should recognize the changes and develop strategies to balance the opportunities that changes in technology have brought to education with the challenges of efficiently managing an education technology portfolio.Key FindingsConsumer technologies are prevalent in the general education community.Mobile technologies have untethered students and staff from traditional communal gathering spots.Consumerization and mobility are reflected in the preferences and practices of IT customers, and impact the selection of and participation in education services.
In this era of technical turmoil and reduction in cost of both production and distribution of tools and services, the education ecosystem is heavily impacted. The education ecosystem is expanding as new players enters the market and old ones find new roles. The vantage point Gartner use for the education ecosystem is the traditional institutions that consciously design education for the purpose of educating citizens. This means that we put K-12 and higher education at our core. In the next layer, we look at continuous learning where we place players such as statistics.com and Microsoft certification. The next layer again contains tool providers such as Blackboard and McGraw-Hill. And in the final service provider layer we place players such as Moodlerooms and International Baccalaureate (IB). One of the key trends in expanding this ecosystem over time has been that core institutions are increasingly leaving a do-it-yourself strategy in order to seek vendors and even partner to help them fulfill their mission (the hired hand). Another key trend is that boundaries are blurring and as the education business is growing players try to change roles to get a larger share of the market. As a consequence, we can see several players on the boundaries moving from one layer to another and actively looking to enhance their capabilities by forming alliances.
