Data-Informed Leadership in Higher Education: An Executive Playbook for Institutional Excellence

Advances in Data Science Driven Technologies (Volume 5): Data-Informed Leadership in Higher Education is an executive playbook for institutional excellence. It demonstrates how purposeful faculty development, human-centred design, and data-informed leadership transform technology investments into improved learning outcomes, equity, and graduate success. Spanning thirteen chapters, the book moves from people to platforms—building the educator’s toolkit, embedding analytics-driven quality assurance, and integrating immersive technologies such as virtual reality.
