In today’s rapidly changing landscape, higher education leaders, including presidents, boards, and cabinet-level administrators, are demanding greater volumes of data at greater speeds to inform strategies and decisions. How can data, budget, and finance professionals respond to requests for forecasting and scenario planning when there are so many unknowns? In this interactive webinar, you’ll practice strategies to cut through the noise to determine what data requests to prioritize, how to support leaders’ data literacy, and how to communicate data in an environment with so many uncertain variables.

This session is part of the 2025 Talk About Data and Analytics Series. Attendees will register separately for each session.
