Welcome to the Decision Support Toolkit (DSTk), CU
Denver’s ever-evolving analytics platform, designed to support school and
college leaders in addressing academic and fiscal planning
challenges. The DSTk synthesizes
institutional data from financial, academic, and HR data sources, providing
accessible and actionable information to assess the efficiency and
financial health of their unit.
Each of the DSTk modules focus
on the three pillars of financial sustainability: Revenue Generation,
Cost Containment, and Reallocation of Resources. With
these three pillars in mind, the DSTk allows
users to dig deep into business components and gain insights needed to inform strategy and decision making.
With a CU Denver designed platform,
the DSTk will
grow and evolve with the needs of the campus. Its collaborative design and
development process brings together contributors from every facet of the
institution. The tool is designed to provide campus leaders with data
and information needed to thrive operating under the
incentives-based budget model, and ultimately contribute to CU Denver’s
strategic priority in achieving long-term financial sustainability.
Navigate to one of the modules using the tiles below and log in with your university credentials. Remember, you must be logged on to the campus network or VPN to access the DSTk. Please keep in mind, access to this set of tools is currently limited to certain users within our schools and colleges. Please reach out to david.doig@ucdenver.edu to request user access.
