Avalon supported the administration at Alma College in the roll-out of Data For All (DFA) Monitoring, an open-source software solution that is tracking progress on the achievement of the Alma College Evergreen Strategic Plan. In addition, Avalon utilized DFA Data Manager to store data and create indicators and created the Evergreen Monitoring Dashboard to promote transparency, accountability and collaboration among the administration.
A major challenge in planning processes at the college was a lack of systems to assist with the formulation and operationalization of strategic plans. To address this, Avalon collaborated with key college stakeholders to strengthen the results matrix of the strategic plan, establish and define essential indicators - including metadata and data sources - and connect the college's strategic plan with the interests of the city of Alma.
The project was a pilot program, which provided Avalon an opportunity to learn and support future higher education planning, monitoring, and reporting programs.
