Speaker: Craig Chapman-Smith, Director of Strategy Implementation and Risk, University of Glasgow

Like many institutions, the University of Glasgow often delivered change in siloes. This made it challenging to: see the whole picture; understand what levers can be pulled; drive robust decision making and; track the delivery of strategic objectives. Together with The Anywhere Company, they have created a data “golden thread” through strategic objectives, KPIs, the business case template, risk registers, benefits logs and plans. This has unlocked the ability to provide reporting and insight and now plays a key role in strategy implementation. This presentation is their journey and will include a demonstration of the golden thread in action.

Speakers: Alaa Elaydi, Head of Academic Quality, Data and Risk, BPP University and Ramita Tejpal, Associate Professor and Dean of Academic Quality and Policy, BPP University

Session Synopsis: BPP University’s Data Now initiative was built as a data quality project, utilising methodologies from the data maturity framework, building robust data strategies, and experimenting with data mesh. Data mesh is gaining traction as an innovative approach that bolsters data strategies, and the University is testing this approach by decentralising data management across academic departments and professional service units. In this session, we will show you how data mesh can unlock data capabilities by providing:

1. Enhanced insight: Professionals and analysts across the university have access to better, high-quality data, enabling enhanced, up-to-date, context-informed insight.
2. Scalability: As institutions grows, decentralised data management models enable you to scale without straining resources.
3. Agility: Data mesh removes bottlenecks, delays to resource approval, allowing departments to quickly adapt to new data-driven initiatives.
4. Future-proofing: Data proficient university departments and central units are more dynamic, data-driven and equipped with the skills of the future.
5. Improved decision-making: As your data is more accessible throughout multiple domains - deeper, more accurate and reliable insights are generated, enabling you to stay ahead of the curve and driving better business decisions.
