Maybe you find out that one specific class or set of classes is responsible for a lot of people leaving the program. So you zero in on that part of the curriculum and improve it. Sounds pretty actionable to me. We've actually done similar things on a smaller scale (week by week) to improve student success in my course.

But of course you don't know anything until you do the analysis.
