For any pool of data, there are always going to be multiple stakeholders, and they should each be receiving their own targeted messaging.
-
But the last mile has to be the Story; the Story that communicates what is happening in the world, and what needs to be done to fix the problems and exploit the opportunities that analysis exposes

There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical about the BD market. But big data probably deserves a place in overall enterprise IT strategy for generating business insight. Best practices include generating a list of important challenges or questions that the current approach to data does not address. Could big data deliver the answers enterprises are looking for?

Among other things, the system will report such factors as research expenditures, publications, teaching evaluations, and external support.

The plan unveiled on Thursday designates money to create a "dashboard"-an interactive, online database-to give students, parents, and legislators access to detailed measures of departments' and colleges' productivity and efficiency.
