Analytics and Cannabis Social Consumption Regulations
If cannabis legalization were an athletic event, it would probably be best represented by hurdles. A runner clears one hurdle before focusing on the next one, which is similar to how it must feel to be an entrepreneur in the cannabis industry. State legalization is the first hurdle, and then it’s applying for licenses and meeting regulations, all before the actual work of opening and running a business.
If all goes well, there’s a clear stretch of road (or track, if you continue the metaphor) ahead. Other hurdles could pop up, though. Some could potentially trip up a business, such as if a regulatory body decides to change what has been established. And some might actually benefit a business, if it can clear the hurdle cleanly. Such is the case with social consumption laws.

They need to balance what is best for students with the other elements that will help them be successful. This includes making smart financial decisions, making sure they are remaining environmentally friendly, and also meeting external requirements such as accreditation compliance.
In order to ensure they are doing all they can to remain viable, schools need to use analytics. Simply having the right analytics solution isn’t enough, though. They need to use the tools they have to make the best decisions for all aspects of the school. Here are some of the earmarks of a successful institution, and how data can help measure success.
