Collaboratory Coffee Break: Identifying Stakeholders
Collaboratory enables institutions to collect a robust amount of data about their community engagement. However, numbers alone do not help answer our most burning questions or foster meaningful internal dialogue about our engagement. This Coffee Break will provide guidance and tools for campuses to identify their stakeholders (who), what they need to know, and why (actions they should take based on the data you provide them). By identifying campus stakeholders and what information they need to know, institutions can begin to re-frame their data collection strategy and usage.
