Higher Education is facing a series of compounding crises. David Kaiser’s insight and experience will be very valuable when determining how to adapt and recover to arrive at a stronger, more data-informed position when the crisis subsides. – Mike Laracy, Founder and President of Rapid Insight

Times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, bring the importance of data to the forefront of everyone’s mind. In an upcoming free webinar, David Kaiser of Temple University’s Fox School of Business will discuss how addressing a crisis ushered in an unprecedented ability for the entire institution to access data strategically. The webinar will take place on Thursday, June 18th at 2 PM ET (11 AM PT).

The webinar will illustrate how building relationships and partnerships enables university-wide improvements to the strategic application of analytics. It will feature David Kaiser, the Senior Director of Strategic Analytics at Temple University’s Fox School of Business, and James Cousins, Analyst Manager at Rapid Insight.

Topics of discussion will include how data can be used to break down silos between departments and start conversations about collaborative initiatives, determine which classes can be held online and which can only take place in person, improve curriculum development, qualify faculty, and increase the efficacy of scholarship programs.

“With as much praise and discussion as advanced analysis techniques get, David’s work reminds me of the basic but critical need for strong partnerships around data,” said James Cousins, Rapid Insight Analyst Manager. “The scope of his data warehousing effort and the collaboration he’s introduced for operational insights is inspiring.”

Mike Laracy, Founder and President of Rapid Insight, said, “Higher Education is facing a series of compounding crises.

This webinar focuses on a topic that is timely and urgent. Colleges and universities nationwide are working to create data-informed strategies to deal with the continuing impact of COVID-19, and this webinar will offer insight into methods of building lasting change out of the impact of a crisis.
