Institutional effectiveness is the systematic and ongoing process of collecting, analyzing and acting on data and information relating to the goals and outcomes developed to support the University's mission and purpose. Thus, institutional effectiveness is oriented towards measuring results and using those results to aid in decision - making and foster mprovement.
Institutional effectiveness is a cyclical process in which continuous improvements and refinements on goals and methods are undertaken on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, institutional effectiveness, like the University itself, is an ever - changing and evolving process. Thus, it needs to be revisited continuously.
PIR has three large areas of focus: strategic planning, unit assessment planning, and institutional performance reporting or benchmarking around NKU's progress and achievements.
