When I began my role as a Digital Content Manager at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, our monthly & quarterly analytics processes took up around a full week's worth of time. Numbers were collected manually from Google Analytics and social applications.
I advocated for paring down the numbers we collected to focus on those that were most useful, integrating AI-enabled technology into our process to elaborate on the metrics we continued to collect.
The previous version of the report was text- and metric-heavy, and did not expand upon the numbers much to inform leadership of strategy. It took a notable amount of time to both create and review.
Leveraging my knowledge of data visualization, I redesigned my team's quarterly analytics report to emphasize key metrics, saving leadership time during their review.
