The Office of Business Intelligence provides timely information and analysis to both the Lesley community and to external entities to support evidence‐based decision making and planning. The office seeks to implement a holistic process of business intelligence and decision making, by working with faculty and staff and other constituencies, to enable university-wide data informed decisions. We see student success as a core element of effective decision-support in a modern higher education institution. As such we believe in an expanded definition of decision makers which not only includes senior decision makers, but also students, faculty, and staff that need accessible data to address their needs and decision-making.
