AI Innovation Transforms Stakeholder Engagement in Schools: Welbee and Rittman Analytics Lead the Way

Welbee, a multi-award-winning company that provides surveys to help schools and trusts gather stakeholder feedback and consolidate data, has partnered with Rittman Analytics, a boutique consultancy specialising in AI-driven analytics. Together, they have developed an innovative proof of concept (PoC) for Welbee’s Edu Intelligence™ platform.

This collaboration has resulted in a cutting-edge AI-powered assistant, designed to transform the way schools and trusts utilise stakeholder feedback and wider data to drive meaningful improvements.

By integrating advanced artificial intelligence and analytics, this partnership has redefined how schools manage their data. Leveraging technologies such as Google BigQuery and Vertex AI, Rittman Analytics has enabled Welbee to streamline analysis and extract valuable insights, supporting faster, data-driven decision-making.

Key Features of the AI-Driven Solution:

  • Automated AI Analysis: Instantly processes survey data upon closure, removing the need for manual analysis and accelerating decision-making.
  • Natural Language Data Queries: A text-to-SQL chatbot enables users to interact with data conversationally, generating SQL queries for instant insights—without requiring technical skills.
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Enhances survey data by incorporating contextual knowledge from Welbee’s Wellbeing Toolkit, delivering practical, evidence-based recommendations.

How Schools Benefit from These Innovations:

  • Faster access to key insights, allowing for timely decision-making.
  • A more comprehensive understanding of stakeholder feedback when combined with broader school data.
  • An intuitive platform that empowers educators to explore and interpret their data with ease.

Tim Handley, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Welbee, highlighted the impact of this initiative:

“Working with Rittman Analytics to develop the AI capability of our new Edu Intelligence platform has been transformative for Welbee and our customers. Rittman Analytics’ expertise in AI and Google Cloud allowed us to help our customers unlock the true potential of their data, delivering faster, more actionable insights. The Rittman team has been a pleasure to work with, and they have a great level of knowledge, skill, and expertise in all things data analytics.”

This partnership aligns with Rittman Analytics’ mission to provide organisations with cutting-edge analytics solutions.

Mark Rittman, CEO at Rittman Analytics, commented:

“Our goal was to deliver a solution that combines the best of AI and analytics to address real challenges in education. With Intelligent Ed, we’ve helped create a tool that not only simplifies data analysis, but also provides actionable insights schools can trust.”
