Challenges

The organization faced significant challenges in standardizing data and analytics across its portfolio of universities in different regions:

Limited Platform Confidence & Adoption – Prior attempts at a unified data platform did not gain widespread confidence from stakeholders.
Knowledge Bottlenecks & Role-Based Ambiguity – Variations in how different universities assign responsibilities to roles created confusion and limited effective data usage.
Fragmented Processes Across Regions – Each university followed its own systems, processes, and reporting practices, creating inconsistencies and reducing comparability of insights.
Limited Business Data Awareness – Teams had difficulty accessing, interpreting, and acting on insights consistently, making cross-university decision-making challenging.

Approach

Ycotek applied a structured and scalable delivery framework:

Rapid Mobilization – Established delivery modules, prioritized initiatives quickly, and set up clear communication channels.
Agile Delivery at Scale – Multiple teams executed work in parallel to accelerate delivery.
Stakeholder Alignment & Communication – Continuous engagement with key business leaders ensured clarity, transparency, and focus on high-impact outcomes.

Implementation

Work was executed in clearly defined modules, starting with high-priority areas to deliver measurable outcomes early. AI-driven analytics and insights were incorporated to support standardized reporting and improve decision-making. Standardized processes and reporting structures were implemented across universities to ensure consistency and comparability of data. Teams collaborated closely with stakeholders to validate insights, support adoption, and enable cross-institution decision-making.

Innovation & R&D – Continuous development of analytics approaches, reporting structures, and AI-driven decision-support processes.
Enablement & Adoption – Guidance and support to ensure smooth adoption of standardized practices and insights across all universities.
