Planning and Improvement Software Selected for Excellence in Strategic Analytics, Configurability, and Multi-Initiative Planning
Pittsburgh, PA – March 30, 2021 – Nuventive, a planning and improvement software leader for higher education, announced today that San José State University selected the Nuventive Improvement Platform to transform its processes for assessment of program effectiveness. After an extensive vetting process, San José State chose Nuventive because of its ability to support continuous improvement and deliver strategic analytics across a host of campus initiatives.
The Nuventive Improvement Platform helps higher education institutions use information to continuously advance their most pressing initiatives, from strategic planning to accreditation, learning outcomes, program review, and more.
With 36,000 students, 200 academic programs, and eight colleges, the highly ranked institution is among the largest in the California State University system. Replacing a labor-intensive email-based process, the intuitive Nuventive solution enabled San José State to collect and organize their program assessment reports faster than ever in their first cycle. More importantly, the ability to manage and track action items within the context of assessment cycles has transformed the institution’s ability to drive changes to timely completion, such as identifying and resolving needed curriculum modifications.
To further their assessment of institutional effectiveness, San José State plans to integrate Nuventive’s analytical reporting into the program review process, and to explore using the system for assessment of general education as well as student services and programs.
“Working with Nuventive has cracked open a CQI [continuous quality improvement] mindset, and putting it all in one platform will be good for the campus” said Dr. Thalia Anagnos, Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education at San José State. “Rather than needing to dig to find the data on our performance, the software serves up the relevant information we need as we pose each question. We can look at SLO [student learning outcome] reports on one side of the screen while we document the narrative on the other.”
Dr. Anagnos adds, “Nuventive’s implementation model provides the campus with a designated liaison who helps with configuration and then provides ongoing support and coaching to optimize the system.”
Powered by Microsoft Azure, the Nuventive Improvement Platform:
- Brings structure and continuous improvement to the full lifecycle of planning, collection, analysis, action, and evaluation.
- Builds individual and institutional capabilities for improvement that can be applied to future initiatives.
“We’re delighted to welcome San José State to the growing Nuventive community and applaud them for their focus on digital transformation” said Nuventive CEO Dr. David Raney. “It’s exciting to see higher education institutions embrace a data-informed culture to achieve their strategic goals.”
