The Four Pillars of the
Enterprise Learning Ecosystem
Missing the ’Why’
Barriers were everywhere
We asked the wrong questions
12
Decision Driven Data Collection
“By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second,
by imitation, which is easiest; and third by
experience, which is the bitterest.”
― Confucius
13
Decision Driven Data Collection
Gain Vision and Goal Alignment
Avoid starting with data
Understand data tells many stories, figure out what story you are interested in
Ask questions
14
Decision Driven Data Collection
Ask Answerable Questions
Define your questions before you look at or collect data
Go from qualitative to quantitative, turn goals into measures
“Is our program effective” ->
“Has our after-school reading program increased student comprehension
scores on the first quarter district benchmark assessment?”
15
Decision Driven Data Collection
Go Get the Data
Collect data that answers your questions, and drives at your goals
Ensure internal validity, consistency of usage, understanding of process
Move culture from ‘gut feeling’ to ‘gut knowing’
16
Decision Driven Data Collection
Organize and Analyze
Be meta: Look at the data from a distance
Be careful: Don’t jump to conclusions, look for biases
Be deliberate: Ask questions and be confident you understand the data
17
Decision Driven Data Collection
Do something meaningful
Tie decision-making to data
Shorten the feedback loop between understanding data, and expected outcomes

Multi-pillar solutions
change the questions
What is my remaining balance?
becomes
Can I afford an additional math teacher?
How many credits have I earned?
becomes
Am I on-track to graduate with the skills
to pursue my passion?
What went wrong?
