Influencing Decisions: Strategies for Using Data

Session Details

Wednesday, July 16, 2008
12:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Room 221

Speaker(s)

Lanny Arvan, CIO and Assoc Dean for eLearning, College of Business, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Malcolm B. Brown, Director of ELI, EDUCAUSE

Abstract

Using data to lead others toward a course of action requires a good understanding of how the decision makers incorporate information into their thinking as well as a convincing story to map the data into action. Executing this process requires carefully planned collection, analysis, and communication, and the end result must be concise and easily understood to be effective. This session will provide a framework for presenting data, a case study of a presentation to campus senior officers, and a hands-on exercise in data collection and analysis.
