IBIT Impact Model

New Impact Model

The IBIT impact model is a systematic measure of the impact of Temple’s Institute for Business and Information Technology (IBIT).

IBIT is widely regarded as a successful high impact interdisciplinary center. To keep advancing, we need specific impact measures to identify strengths and weaknesses. The measures should identify areas for improvement, improve accountability with stakeholders, and assess how well we are executing our mission. There is no universally accepted measure of impact for academic entities. Typical academic measures such as citations are internally focused.

IBIT’s mission is to engage with industry through its advisory board and corporate partners to develop relevant knowledge and talent for the digital era. Therefore, using a systematic approach we created a model to measure impact that includes:

  • Assess the entire range of IBIT activities including research projects, workshops, networking events, student mentoring, and others.
  • Involve all stakeholders – industry, academics, and students.
  • Assess both the value generated for and the contribution of stakeholders.

To implement the new impact model, we developed a digital survey of knowledge, talent, and engagement to assess every IBIT activity. Click the link below to learn more about how we created the model and to view our impact report.
