Data Asset Management Plan 2025–2029

Executive Summary

In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, it is imperative for Montgomery College (MC) to foster a culture of evidence and data-informed decision-making to ensure its sustained success. This Data Asset Management Plan (DAMP) serves as the second iteration which covers the period of 2025-2029, following the inaugural plan launched in 2021. It is designed to harness the power of data to support our mission, transformational aspirations, and strategic plan. This will enhance student success, institutional effectiveness, and operational efficiency as well as future-proof the College. 

At the heart of this effort is the recognition that the MC community, through consultation and collaboration, has provided invaluable input that helped shape the goals for this plan: 

• Goal 1: Enhance Institutional Capacity for Data Management
• Goal 2: Ensure Comprehensive Data Integration
• Goal 3: Enhance Data Literacy
• Goal 4: Improve Data-Informed Decision-Making 

This collective engagement strengthens our commitment to a data-informed approach to our important work and establishes a solid foundation for transformative growth in our educational environment. 

As a community, we endeavor to enhance our ability to understand and utilize data, to integrate data analysis into our decision-making processes, and to empower MC stakeholders to make informed choices that directly impact student outcomes and institutional performance. Our proactive approach enhances accountability as well as fosters innovation and adaptability in our institutional practices. 

Moreover, the DAMP emphasizes collaboration across departments, encourages continuous improvement, and promotes a shared responsibility for achieving the College’s goals, supporting strategies, and intended outcomes. By embracing a culture of evidence, we are responding to current needs as well as proactively shaping a future where data-informed insights lead to enhanced educational experiences and outcomes. 

In summary, the DAMP is a commitment to excellence rooted in collaboration and a shared vision for the future. As we move forward with this second iteration, we reaffirm our dedication to prioritizing data-informed decision-making, laying the groundwork for a thriving community that consistently supports student success—and continuously improves and drives institutional effectiveness. Together, through our collective wisdom and with the support of data, we will create transformational aspirations for our students.
