When you're frustrated with your institution's data...
-
Does a simple question about your institution's numbers fill you with real trepidation?
-
Do you spend more time making sense of your data than drawing insights from it?
-
Do you often find that different people are looking at the data and coming up with different numbers?
Many higher education institutions are unable to find the truth in their information, making it hard to realise the true value from the huge amounts of data they hold.
So when you work with this daily, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed by the assumption you know more about your institution’s data than you have access to or control over.
ConnectED helps your institution to realise the value of its data
We support you in creating a data-informed culture across your institution, one where key decision-makers fully realise the value of the information at their disposal
​
By helping your institution's leaders gain access to information that informs their decision making—and promotes their role as data guardians—we empower them to use data to create the environment for success.
​
Through support, coaching and training across our suite of services, ConnectED helps you to affect cultural change by joining the dots with your education data.

We support you in building a data environment that benefits everyone.

We support your entire institution in making efficient, confident, and accurate data-driven decisions.

Why work with us?
Deep HE sector expertise in creating real, tangible value
The higher education sector is intricately regulated, and we’ve loved the challenge of working within it for 40 years. In that time, we’ve collaborated with numerous higher education institutions, worked closely with functions, and gained insight into the unique data complexities each faces. We’ve learned there is no "one size fits all" solution, so instead we bring the tools, knowledge and techniques to quickly support you with your unique data challenges.
Close collaboration
Working alongside you as your data partner, we'll create a bespoke data solution tailored to your institution's nuanced needs built on a foundation of best practice. Supporting you and your institution to manage, trust and use data in a way that fosters a data driven culture.
Empowering you to manage your data
We guide you on the journey of understanding and managing your data challenges. Our approach is non-invasive, allowing you to take ownership and gradually build your capability to manage the solutions independently, ensuring you have the option to rely on our expertise whenever needed.
