2019 – “Super User” Communities: An Extension of the IR Office

Presentation Summary

Over the past 5 years, the University of Kentucky has transformed its data environment to support broader user access and interaction with data. From these efforts emerged a community of “Super Users” that serve as data liaisons within their College/business unit, generating their own self-service reports for staff and administrators and providing necessary figures for in-house decision making. This presentation will discuss how this “Super User” community came to be and how the Institutional Research and Advanced Analytics team continuously engages with these users to drive innovation in data modeling and reporting.
