Unlocking the power of data in business schools: Introducing all-in-one student experience platforms

Written by Tiago Mateus | Oct 22, 2024 2:43:38 PM

Business schools today face a common challenge: data about students is scattered across multiple systems, making it difficult to fully understand and support their journeys. Grades are tracked in one platform, event participation in another, and career readiness data may be disconnected entirely. This fragmentation limits schools from providing a holistic, data-driven approach to student success.


With its all-in-one student experience platform, Ready Education is leading the way in transforming how business schools manage and leverage student data. By centralising academic, campus life, and career data in a single system, these platforms enable schools to make informed decisions and offer personalised, proactive support that fosters student success.

Fragmented Data: A Missed Opportunity
Many business schools operate with data silos, where grades, career progress, and campus involvement are tracked separately. Even more concerning, some key data points - such as mentoring sessions, leadership activities, or career development experiences - are often left unrecorded. This fragmented approach leaves schools unable to intervene early or fully support students, while also negatively impacting the student experience.

 

The Power of All-in-One Platforms
Ready Education’s all-in-one platforms, like Ready Campus, integrate all aspects of student life into a single, comprehensive system. By centralising data on academic performance, event participation, internships, and more, these platforms provide students with a 360 degree view, while making it easy for students to take action. This not only breaks down internal silos but also empowers schools to:

  • Capture Comprehensive Data: Everything from engagement to career development is tracked in one place.
  • Personalise Support: Early indicators of student disengagement or struggle can be flagged, allowing for timely interventions.
  • Enhance Collaboration: Faculty, career advisors, and student support teams can work with the same data, fostering more effective collaboration.

Academic and Campus Engagement
Academic data alone doesn't give the full story of a student's development. Ready Education also tracks campus involvement, such as participation in events, leadership roles, and extracurricular activities - providing a more complete picture of a student's experience.

By tracking engagement both inside and outside the classroom, schools can ensure that students are developing essential leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.


Career Readiness and Alumni Engagement
Career development is a critical component of business education. Ready Education’s platform tracks internships, mentorships, and career services participation, helping schools offer targeted guidance and ensuring students are on the right path. These platforms also extend beyond graduation, enabling institutions to maintain meaningful connections with alumni and assess long-term outcomes.

Conclusion

Ready Education’s all-in-one student experience platforms are revolutionising how business schools collect and act on data. By providing a unified view of each student’s journey, platforms like Ready Campus empower institutions to make proactive decisions that improve academic and campus life, as well as career outcomes.


As a global leader, Ready Education partners with hundreds of top institutions, including Imperial College and London Business School to centralise data and elevate the student experience.
