Using the New iTwo Data in Strategic Planning
Friday, February 14, 2014

We are pleased to announce a presentation on the new iTwo data reports for use in strategic planning, including diversity strategic planning. As Penn State proceeds through its current strategic planning cycle, data-informed planning will be critical to understanding our current environment and to chart progress towards the future. In order to provide University stakeholders with the best planning tools possible, several offices have collaborated to develop iTwo, which is an Oracle business intelligence interface configured around Penn State data.
The session will highlight the data available through the iTwo dashboard, including an expanded range of diversity data. A brief history of previous methods of accessing and distributing University data will contextualize the advantages of iTwo. We will then provide a general introduction to iTwo and its various components. Finally, we will walk through a few data scenarios for diversity strategic planning from the Official Enrollment iTwo dashboard and provide an update of the upcoming dashboard for employee data.
This session should be useful for those involved with strategic planning and incorporating diversity data into the planning process, or those who would like to know more about accessing University data.
