2026 WEBINAR | From Report Factory to Intelligence Partner: What We Are Learning at Children’s Colorado
Kerri Webster RN, MS, Vice President and Chief Analytics Officer, Children’s Hospital. Children’s Hospital Colorado knew its analytics team could not keep meeting growing demand by simply working through a larger queue or building more reports. AI, rising consumer expectations and increasing pressure to demonstrate value required a fundamental change in how analytics work was prioritized, delivered and governed. This candid session tells the story of ARC’s transformation from a centralized service model toward a portfolio-based, enablement-focused intelligence practice. Kerri Webster will discuss the decisions, tensions and cultural shifts behind the journey, including what is working, what is still hard and why governance, role clarity and consumer enablement matter even more in the AI era.
Participants will be able to identify practical strategies for evolving a centralized analytics function into a scalable enterprise intelligence capability through portfolio-based prioritization, shared governance, consumer enablement and redesigned analytics roles.
- Recognize the organizational signals that indicate a traditional, request-driven analytics model is no longer scalable.
- Describe a tiered governance and delivery model that aligns analytics capacity with enterprise priorities and measurable value.
- Explain how self-service, reusable analytics products and consultative roles can increase organizational capacity without creating an ungoverned environment.
- Anticipate the cultural, workforce and data-governance challenges that accompany analytics and AI transformation.
- Apply lessons from ARC’s journey to their own organization’s analytics operating model.
