The Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary launched the Calgary-Haskayne Adaptive Research Tracker (CHART), a free tool that helps business schools measure, benchmark and understand their research performance.

CHART includes two distinct components to provide exceptional value to Canadian business schools. CHART-Index is a fixed ranking that gives Canadian business schools a shared reference point based on publicly available data and a reproducible methodology. CHART-IF is a unique flexible module that allows users to explore “what if” scenarios to help inform strategic planning.

This new tool offers a transparent, data-informed alternative to traditional ranking systems, which often rely on reputation surveys, limited metrics and methods that are not fully disclosed.

While the fixed CHART-Index ranking gives 28 participating Canadian business schools a shared, objective reference point, the flexible CHART-IF is a customizable scenario-planning module, where users can explore "what if" questions, such as what it would take to move up one position in the ranking, and identifies multiple pathways for getting there.

Access to the CHART online platform here.
