This session is part of the HESPA Showcasing Good Practice Week 2025. The aim of this week is to provide a space for our members to share with each other the work they have done which they feel has been a particular success, and to celebrate and promote the hard work of planners in the HE sector.
Synopsis:
Student intake target planning is a complex process typically involving large volumes of data, sustained dialogue across many stakeholders, and iterative challenges of both feasibility and ambition of targets before targets are agreed. In this session we share how we used Microsoft Power Apps and strong engagement across academic units to iteratively develop a bespoke student intake planning app that streamlined and greatly improved the quality, efficiency, end user engagement, and outputs and outcomes of student intake planning. The ‘Target Intake Planner (TIP) tool replaced emailed spreadsheets and manual aggregation of files and additionally has full audit control, integrated market insight and alignment challenges and many other features that have transformed our approach to target intake planning and greatly improved the end user experience of faculty colleagues.
