How we work
We deliver insights that genuinely help UNSW make better decisions, focusing on what matters most. We don’t chase perfection. If it doesn’t add value or drive meaningful outcomes, we let it go. We’d rather move the needle than get lost in the noise.
Planning & Performance
At UNSW Planning & Performance, we turn data into actionable insights and guidance that empower the University to plan strategically, prioritise what matters most, monitor and enhance performance, and make confident, informed decisions to shape an inspiring future.
Forecasting & Reporting
Our forecasting and reporting provides clear, timely analyses and reports that help UNSW anticipate future trends, allocate resources wisely, and track progress. We deliver the insights leaders need to plan with confidence and drive continuous improvement.
Insights, Analytics & Data
Turning data into direction. Our insights, analytics and data transforms complex information into clear, actionable insights. We empower UNSW to understand trends, uncover opportunities, and make evidence-based decisions that drive progress and inspire innovation.
