Inquiry Overview

A nonprofit education research and development organization was interested in identifying and profiling companies that could be potential competitors or partners for its data analytics workshops.

Key Questions

• What is the overall competitive environment in assessment data analytics in K-12?


• What current products gather or analyze vast amounts of student data?


• What are the training services offered by potential partners or competitors?


• What is the interest level of the potential competitors in partnering with a data-analytics training provider?


• What are the types of partnerships that potential competitors look for, and what are their partnership criteria?

Methodology

For this custom inquiry, Eduventures identified companies in three industries as potential competitors or partners. Eduventures then selected one to three leading companies in each category (for a total of six) and interviewed managers who are directly involved in designing and delivering their training offerings.
