Why it matters
Timetabling is one of the most critical—yet often under-measured—levers in higher education operations. It directly impacts how students learn, how staff work, and how effectively space is used. But without a clear performance framework, institutions are forced to make trade-offs in the dark.
Effective timetabling isn’t just about system configuration—it’s about making deliberate, evidence-based decisions that align with your institutional priorities. Whether your focus is improving student retention, supporting staff wellbeing, or increasing the utilisation of teaching space, a balanced and data-driven timetable can enable progress across all three.
​
An executive dashboard for smarter timetabling decisions
The Timetable Balanced Scorecard is an interactive, role-based dashboard that brings key metrics into one place—making it easy to understand trade-offs, benchmark performance, and support planning across programs, faculties, and scheduling teams.

How it works
Designed to deliver rapid value and kick-start broader transformation.
Whether you're implementing a new scheduling system, improving student experience, or reviewing space utilisation, the TBS provides the foundation for smarter, more strategic timetabling.
It gives stakeholders a clear, shared view of how current practices are performing—and what it will take to improve.
​
We implement the TBS through a structured, three-stage process designed to build insight, alignment, and momentum for broader transformation.
A proven three-step process
Define and prioritise metrics
We engage stakeholders to identify the most meaningful performance indicators that reflect the institution’s strategic priorities—balancing student experience, staff workload, and space efficiency.
Build and deploy dashboard
We connect and prepare institutional data, configure metrics, and deploy the TBS dashboard—designed with interactive, drill-down capabilities and flexible filters.
Activate and align
We support leaders and key stakeholders to use the dashboard to inform decisions, set improvement targets, and align stakeholders across change efforts.
