Gray Decision Intelligence launches AI Reports for strategic academic programme management
Gray Decision Intelligence (Gray DI) announced the release of AI Reports, a new tool designed to assist academic leaders in evaluating and making decisions about academic programmes.
The tool provides textual summaries based on over 50 metrics, facilitating data-driven decisions on starting, stopping, fixing, or growing specific academic programmes.
AI Reports consolidates and simplifies data analysis for academic programs by aggregating information from various sources, including the National Student Clearinghouse, IPEDS, Google searches, job postings, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the U.S. Census.
The breadth of data addresses student demand, employment opportunities, and the intensity of competition among more than 1,500 academic programs (CIP codes).
This tool is designed to be accessible to a wide range of academic staff, from professors to administrative leaders. It provides them with insights necessary to understand market conditions for academic programmes.
AI Reports converts complex datasets into easily interpretable reports, enhancing inclusivity in decision-making processes by allowing a broader range of personnel to engage with detailed market data.
AI Reports also aims to simplify financial data analysis for users who may lack a deep background in finance, indicating Gray DI’s intention to extend this tool’s application to other data-intensive areas within higher education management.
Zach Paz, Chief Operating Officer at Gray DI, explained the motivation behind the new tool:
"At Gray DI, we believe that every higher education institution deserves access to powerful decision intelligence tools that democratize data. Our new AI Report Tool enables schools of all sizes to make informed decisions that align with student demand and future career needs. By democratizing data, we are changing the way higher education institutions operate, ensuring they can deliver programs that best serve their students and their communities."
