Overview and Deep Dive into Goal Group 1
Dr. Zhang provided a presentation on Goal Group 1. No questions or answers occurred at this time.
Discussion on Proposed KPIs
Mr. Montanaro provided a presentation on the proposed KPIs. The following questions, answers and discussion points occurred:
- The question was raised regarding if an option could be added to be able to filter by School or College. It was stated that change could be done.
- The question was raised regarding if a goal line could be added to the dashboard so you see how the metric relates to the goal the University wants to achieve. It was stated that there is a 99% probability that a goal line could be added but there are some KPIs that do not necessary have a goal related to them.
- The statement was made that as a university we should have an expectation of where we want to get to for those KPIs that are not currently linked to a goal. This way over time you can see a trend and what progress we are making in each area. This will help us make a determination if we want to adjust the expectation depending on what the metric is.
- The question was raised regarding if this dashboard would be an internal tool or would this be used as an outward facing, graphic representation of where the University is in relation to our Strategic Plan. It was stated that there is a lot of data here so this is internal looking data but there are elements of it that we will pull from to explain our journey to the outside world. If we shared all of this data outwardly it would be too much and difficult to digest. We need to synthesize it so it can be easily understood. It was added that we have had these KPI pdfs on our website but accessibility is a huge concern and we are trying to look at ways that we can get data that is not going to create a lot of work for someone to make digitally accessible.
- The question was raised if SUNY Central has an internal dashboard with their KPIs and is it accessible to us. It was stated that they do have an IR team and they do collate some data but a lot of the data that they do have is data we offer to them. So, the collected information is only as good as the individual campuses offer to them. It was added that there are ways to find some of the campuses metrics.
- The question was raised regarding why each dashboard was split up the way it was. It was stated that the reason why is because it was split up for the ease of creating dashboards. If you had 25 pages on one dashboard it would be cumbersome, but they can be set up differently if needed.
- The question was raised regarding if Power BI allows slicers to be added after the dashboards are created. It was stated that the developer can add slicers but not the user.
Additional Items from the Committee
- The question was raised regarding if the students being encouraged to attend the broad-based fee presentation meeting is to combine the ones that happened separately with BSG with JPBC. It was stated that the goal was to eliminate some redundancy. This is the year of the bi-annual student fee forum so we are going to be eliminating that piece. So, students will be invited to JPBC but we will also attend a BSG Senate meeting with a pared down presentation that the fee managers will do.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:29 a.m.
