SEM11A-Benchmarking Basics: From Data to Decisions to Results, and Back Again (separate registration is required)
Data for decision making is a hot commodity in higher education. This half-day workshop can help IT leaders and benchmarking leads get real value from their benchmarking initiatives. Topics covered will include understanding when and what to benchmark (and when and what not to); applying best practices for data quality; finding, selecting, and working with peers; using benchmarks to communicate and influence; and putting results into action. You will have opportunities to select benchmarking scenarios (such as making the case for more investment in IT, comparing costs of cloud versus on-premises solutions, and communicating the value of IT) and apply them to your own data. Participation in the 2016 Core Data Service survey will facilitate best experiences in this workshop, but other benchmarking tools will be also be covered. A companion afternoon benchmarking workshop will take a deep look at benchmarking in a specific area: information security.Outcomes: Design or improve an IT benchmarking initiative to inform real-world decisions * Influence leadership to better understand IT’s value and the investments the institution needs to make * Avoid benchmarking dead ends, such as bad data or irrelevant benchmarks

What Would You Do? Disaster Recovery Tabletop Exercise
All organizations experience unexpected and unwanted disruptions to their day-to-day operations. While it is impossible to predict when and what sort of emergency will occur, it is possible to prepare to respond in advance. Only by regularly practicing an institutional response to a simulated disaster can organizations gain confidence that their response plans are sound. This disaster recovery tabletop exercise, based on an exercise developed by Brandeis University, provides a brief introduction to the processes and procedures that would generally be used during a real crisis. The goal of this exercise is to introduce participants to such exercises and issues that may potentially interfere with response and recovery during an actual emergency. OUTCOMES: Participate in a disaster recovery tabletop exercise * Understand how to conduct a tabletop exercise on your own campus * Identify obstacles to effective contingency plan response
