> The challenge is to create a good actionable dashboard

Huh? You don’t need a dashboard to make use of data. The best use of data in my mind is asking and answering questions.

Eg, maybe your program has a low number of graduating female engineers. Why? Maybe they’re dropping out along the way. Maybe female intake is low. With the data you can answer these questions.

The graduating rate of female CS students is low, but is it abnormally low compared to other schools? You investigate and - everyone has an equally low rate except one place where it’s 50/50. The data has led to a question - Why? What are they doing differently? And so on.
