Data Collection Plan
Project details
What we need
- A set of key metrics to regularly track
- Spreadsheet tool to collect data on key metrics with accompanying tables and graphs for analysis
- Training for best practices on data collection
- Training on how to use the spreadsheet and analyze key metrics
- Note: This project does not include data entry or analysis
What we have in place
- We have several years experience with what seems to work and not work when collecting data internationally and the drive to make this a top priority in 2015. We can get any information you might need and provide access to our team to help sort through the different ideas we have about data generation and use.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,868 , allowing us to provide business development training to 12 transformative entrepreneurs.
From what our graduates tell us, our program is effective and life-changing, but we want the numbers to prove it! Collecting data has proven harder than we expected and even what to collect has proven challenging. A fresh set of eyes will help us cut through the noise and speak with integrity when we say our program is changing lives!

Our mission
The Regent Center for Entrepreneurship exists to transform people and nations through business. We train entrepreneurs in the US and in developing nations to start and grow businesses, offering sustainable solutions for poverty.
What we do
RCE does exciting work all over the world. Here are two of our most exciting recent projects:
1) Business Development Centers (BDC)
RCE started its first BDC in 2010 in Kigali, Rwanda. The program emphasizes hands-on learning to prepare aspiring entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the challenging world of business start ups. Much of the program consists of field assignments where students observe, research, analyze, and test their ideas in the marketplace. Students are able to draw not only on their instructors, but also on visiting business experts from around the world who will meet with students to advise them on their business ideas and plans. Local experts on Rwandan business practices will visit the class periodically to provide inspiration as well as technical information needed for successful business in Rwanda.
We now have licensed BDCs in Bangalore, India and Kampala, Uganda, and a lengthy waiting list as we prove our systems in these test locations.
2) Franchise MBA
Not a single university has an MBA program with a specialization in Franchising, despite the fact that 13% of the US economy can be attributed to franchising. We are creating a world class program which can be taken as part of the Regent School of Business MBA program or as a standalone certificate program. We have been training entrepreneurs for years and have learned that not everyone has the desire or the personality to create a business and business systems from scratch. A franchise offers the opportunity to lead an organization, build equity, and relieve poverty, while providing a scaffolding of business systems to help obtain success.
