Step 01 of 08
Illustrative exampleA full programming calendar and nothing to show a provost.
Workshops, panels, office hours, a pitch night. Attendance gets tracked carefully because attendance is the only thing there is an instrument for. The center serves four distinct populations and can measure none of them.
What the institution sees
Four populations, one attendance metric, and no way to connect them.
What the system does
Nothing yet. There is no baseline anywhere.
What they can report
Attendance. That is the ceiling until something gets measured.
Student ventures
Turning a class project into an entity that can hold a contract.
Faculty and research
Federal research funding and the contracting mechanics behind it.
Alumni founders
Real businesses, reached through continuing education and alumni engagement.
Regional businesses
The economic engagement mission the university already reports on.
