Using Data Analytics to Drive Transformational Change: The Chapman University Model
Chapman University developed a highly effective planning process that transformed the institution. Many dedicated and visionary academic leaders shaped that transformation and as Chapman's president for 25 years, from 1991 to 2016, James L. Doti knows that wasn't easy. This book is an account of the path toward transformational change undertaken at Chapman University by its academic entrepreneurs. The tools of data analytics were used to help develop the strategies that drove a series of five-year plans, each of which had a primary overarching goal. Although the various plans stood on their own, each served as a stepping stone to the next plan. That's why Chapman's story can be told chronologically. By exploring the ways that Chapman used data analytics to identify pathways toward meaningful strategic change, this book will illuminate how the university broke through the comfortable allure of the status quo, transforming Chapman into a more vibrant learning community

About the Author

James Doti earned his B.S. degree in economics from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago. He was appointed president of Chapman University in 1991 and served for 25 years. In September 2016, he returned to the Chapman faculty. He holds the Donald Bren Distinguished Chair in Business and Economics. Dr. Doti joined the Chapman faculty in 1974. In 1978, he founded the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research to provide data, facilities and support to encourage faculty and students to engage in research of high quality, and to widely disseminate the results. The Center's inaugural Orange County Forecast, presented in December 1978, was the first economic forecast in the U.S. to be based on an urban econometric model. The Economic Forecast has continued to be a main focus of the Anderson Center's work, growing in scope and widely recognized for its statistical accuracy. Over the 2004 through 2014 period, Chapman's real GDP forecasts were more accurate than the forecasts issued by all 30 agencies participating in the Blue Chip Economic Indicators surveys. The Chapman forecast model also outperformed the highly regarded Blue Chip Consensus forecast. Dr. Doti's articles have appeared in academic journals as well as periodicals such as The Wall Street Journal and The Chronicle of Higher Education. His frequent op-eds appear in the Orange County Register, and he is a regular columnist for Orange County Business Journal. Dr. Doti is a recipient of the Horatio Alger Award and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
