S1E18: The Hidden Cost of Bad Analytics: The Data You’re Collecting That’s Wasting Your Time


Listen Later

Admissions teams track everything—CRMs, marketing reports, financial aid data, application trends. But here’s the problem: most of it isn’t driving decisions. Schools are flooded with data, but how much of it actually shapes strategy? How much of it is just taking up space in dashboards and reports?

In this episode, Lila breaks down:
— How to instantly tell if a data point is useful or just noise
— Why some of the most commonly tracked admissions metrics are a waste of time
— Where your most valuable underutilized data is hiding—and how to start using it
