BI SIG – workshop: Adding value to the University through BI and analytics

Tuesday 4 June, 10:00–16:00

The workshop aims to gather all BI enthusiasts to meet up and share experiences related to BI and analytics in University governance and decision-making. The primary goal is to revitalize the Special Interest Group of BI in EUNIS, in order to strengthen the network and plan future joint activities for the BI SIG. In the morning we will hear from some Universities and their experience with BI and the added value they have gained through their work with BI. An introduction of a maturity-assessment of BI maturity will be given and shared with the participants, enabling the participants to conduct their own maturity-assessment. In the afternoon we offer a round table discussion on a variety of BI and analytics related topics. We invite you to take part in a highly interactive workshop where you will have the opportunity to share your own experiences and learn from others what they consider to be best practice and next practice for BI and analytics.
