What is the EMBAC Program Survey Dashboard?

What is the Executive MBA Council Dashboard?

EMBAC's research committee worked closely with Northern SPI and Percept Research in 2023 to design a benchmarking dashboard based on the annual industry benchmarking survey.

The Executive MBA Benchmarking Dashboard is provided by the EMBAC as an interactive tool to help academic members evaluate market trends and program performance based on the annual benchmarking survey.

The Phase 1 build included data provisioning, data hygiene, user experience (UX) design, and establishing an architecture for ongoing data transformation for future dashboards. Phase 1 will include 13 visualizations (pages) within a Power BI Dashboard for metrics captured in the 2022 EMBAC Program Survey.

The 13 pages are:

  1. Intro - background on the Dashboard along with links to FAQs and support
  2. Class Profile Cost - Demographic comparison to peer segments as defined by cost band
  3. Class Profile Region - Demographic comparison to peer segments as defined by region
  4. Program Profile Cost - Program delivery profile (length, frequency, technology, nonacademic services) comparison to peer segments as defined by cost band.
  5. Program Profile Region - Program delivery profile (length, frequency, technology, nonacademic services) comparison to peer segments as defined by region.
  6. Market Cost - Market and market share comparison (total students) comparison to peer segments as defined by cost band.
  7. Market Cost - Market and market share comparison (total students) comparison to peer segments as defined by region.
  8. Funnel Cost - Admissions funnel performance (Tornado chart) compared to peer segments as defined by cost band.
  9. Funnel Region - Admissions funnel performance (Tornado chart) compared to peer segments as defined by region.
  10. Tuition Funding Cost - Student tuition funding sources (out-of-pocket, company sponsorship, program scholarship) comparison to peer segments as defined by cost band.
  11. Tuition Funding Region - Student tuition funding sources (out-of-pocket, company sponsorship, program scholarship) comparison to peer segments as defined by region.
  12. Resources Deployed Cost - Resource comparison (budget expenditures, staff size) to peer segment as defined by cost band.
  13. Resources Deployed Region - Resource comparison (budget expenditures, staff size) to peer segments as defined by region.

As an incentive to complete the annual benchmarking survey, access to the industry dashboard (for 2023 data and beyond) will be restricted to academic members in good standing who complete the EMBAC Membership Program Survey.

Percept Research is hosting the Dashboard and facilitating the onboarding process for the EMBAC membership.

Academic members will receive a message from embacresearchdashboard.org (please safelist this domain) on October 11 asking them to join the EMBAC Dashboard Directory. It is critical that members accept this invitation first before attempting to access the 2022 Dashboard which will be published on October 23 so they can avoid access issues with Power BI.
