Business Intelligence as a catalyst for cultural change

Presentation Summary

Dale Amburgey and Lynn Cox, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is an institution comprised of two residential campuses and numerous teaching locations around the world. Two challenges facing University leadership are to create an environment where these numerous entities speak a common data language and to provide a consistent reporting platform. Information Technology and Institutional Research joined together to provide the vision and resources needed to undertake this challenge. Utilizing tools such as the Data Cookbook and OBIEE, the framework has been created to move the University towards a more efficient and effective data culture. This presentation will focus on the lessons learned as we discuss our journey of cultural change.
