    Study Notes

    Data Maturity Framework

    • The framework has been compiled with input from practitioners across the sector and utilizes content developed and consulted on by HESA and best practice from other sectors.

    Importance of Data Maturity

    • Well-managed, accurate data is essential for statutory and regulatory responsibilities.
    • Data plays a key role beyond statutory responsibilities, supporting effective delivery of key priorities.

    Benefits of Data Maturity

    Student Engagement and Wellbeing

    • Effective data frees up staff time for student-facing activities.
    • Data provides evidenced-based insight to support individuals and cohorts more proactively.

    Statutory Data

    • Improved data accuracy and availability for statutory reporting support teams, enabling them to focus on issues by exception rather than large-scale manual cleansing.

    Staff Wellbeing

    • Providing the right tools for teams to do their jobs empowers individuals and reduces stress.
    • Both report providers and consumers need the right software, systems, and support to move away from ad-hoc delivery.

    Research Management

    • Visibility of research applications and success rates enables more effective grant capture.
    • Data helps with effective contract costing and management, and provides insight into digital and other resource needs.

    Operational Efficiencies

    • Established data governance and architecture reduce risk and save staff time for value-added work across different functions.
    • Automated data processing and effective reporting support operational efficiencies.

    League Tables

    • Improved understanding of league table data and drivers supports providers in focusing resources on underpinning performance rather than ranking gamification.

    Advanced Analytics

    • Mature data architecture and processes support confident funding models, robust compliance, and improved financial forecasting.
    • Foundational processes, infrastructure, and capabilities enable providers to consider how to best utilize the opportunities of more advanced analytic solutions, including AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics.
