Academic Management
Gray Decision Intelligence recommends PES Academic Management Dashboards, which offers a quick summary of KPIs for all your academic programs. Following the summary is a one-page overview of each program’s market, instructional economics, efficiency, and student outcomes. It includes faculty-drafted objectives and tasks to improve each program. The Academic Management Dashboards highlight issues and opportunities so you can continuously improve your program portfolio and prepare for accreditation.
PES Economics and Outcomes
PES Economics and Outcomes offers the following:
- Economic Tracking: Assists in tracking revenue, cost, and margin by college, department, program, and course, aiding in enhanced financial decision-making.
- Outcome Assessment: Supports student outcomes assessment and identification of equity gaps, assisting in outcome improvement and retention strategies.
- Benchmarking: Sets data-informed goals for program improvement by comparing your revenue, costs, margins, and outcomes by course level and subject area with other institutions.
Curricular Efficiency Workshop
Gray DI’s Curricular Efficiency Workshop uses data on course-level revenue, cost, margin, and instructional workloads collected in the Contribution Margin Analysis tool to identify high cost, low margin, or redundant courses. In a facilitated workshop, faculty and administrators review the course data and use their judgement to identify opportunities to reduce or re-deploy instructional staff. The data may also be used on an ongoing basis to inform budgets and course schedules.
