“The Rai Scan efficiently gathered and analysed opinions from hundreds of employees on current perspectives and future vision. The quick, low-cost AI Scan gave me a clear directive on where to focus my time as CEO.“

Eleanor Allen

CEO B Lab Global

“The approach used by Rai was a helpful catalyst in our turn around to double digit growth, which continues to this day.“

Thomas Kunz

Global Head of Danone Dairy & Danone Waters (Evian/Volvic/Bonafont)

“While I was the CEO of Kraft China, I used the Rai approach to do annual and bi-annual diagnoses of the business. It helped us to continually refine our focus and achieve growth in turnover of $150M to $1B in three years. I went on to use this enhanced awareness to good effect in my subsequent role as the President of Kraft/Mondelez Biscuits USA and Canada.”

Lorna Davis

Former CEO, Kraft China

“We started with you when ranked 12th in Europe, a position we had been stuck in for several years. Within a year of working with you, we jumped to 7th and have subsequently moved to 6th place (Extel Survey).”

Frequently Asked Questions

Rai helps organisations exceed their targets, while making employees feel more effective and aligned.
It works for two reasons. Firstly, employees rarely have opportunities to be completely honest and easily get swept away in the daily grind. Fearing for career advancement or job loss, they are also often afraid to be transparently open about their views. The ‘truth telling’ that rai enables frees people to identify the problems and potential for growth. The leaders get very honest feedback about what is and is not working as well as a holistic view of the business from those most closely involved. The second reason is that our proprietary model has a thirty-year track record of identifying key issues and addressing them through clear recommendations that grow the business and employee engagement.
Employees answer our confidential interview questions and the route to success, typically blurred by daily concerns, becomes clearer. Our questions combined with those chosen by their organisation plus the certainty of confidentiality help people express ideas, feelings and aspirations. When the truth is appropriately told, our proven business development model addresses what most needs attention with simple actions.
The process begins by gathering the views of the CEO or the Board on the present condition and desired future of the company. The goals for the intervention typically include achieving or exceeding business targets along with improving the quality of employee effectiveness and engagement across all levels.

Rai enables staff to express their views and clusters the most important and frequently mentioned messages automatically. These interviews are analysed by our proprietary AI and our trained associates. We then use non-attributable quotes from these interviews as examples to highlight the key issues. The analysis helps leaders ‘see the whole business’ with recommendations that further growth and employee satisfaction.
Our unique approach, mixing cutting edge technology with experienced associates, ensures that you receive the advantages in cost, time, and breadth of analysis that only automation can bring, with the confidence in quality control and depth of analysis that experienced professionals guarantee.
Our proprietary AI is capable of analyzing thousands of interviews, quickly extracting the relevant information and discovering the key categories that require greater focus. The AI is a custom-built cluster of interacting neural networks – trained on the insights accumulated through our thirty years of experience in this field, and built around our proven model of business analysis: a model that has reliably led to significant growth in companies where our services have been employed.

Our AI allows us to analyze the confidential views of any number of staff – providing you with an overview of the whole company and ensuring staff feel listened to. It allows us to quickly convert this huge amount of qualitative data into easy to interpret quantitative data that gives you a clear measure of the health of your company.
Like Chat GPT, Rai is a cutting edge natural language AI into which people can input everyday spoken English - they can say pretty much whatever they'd like and the AI will understand it. Unlike Chat GPT - it's completely secure - none of the data is sent up to the big software companies, and none of it gets reincorporated into the model. So you'll never come across your sensitive staff data being regurgitated by the model when it's answering other people's questions - as you might with Chat GPT.

Further unlike Chat GPT our model isn't a general purpose chat machine - it's been trained on a very specific dataset (over 30 years of crafted consultancy data) to do one very specific job - increase effectiveness, engagement, and growth in companies.
Rai combines a highly experienced team of business consultants and executive coaches with a cutting-edge proprietary AI. Together they have an impressive track record of helping businesses attain higher performance and employee satisfaction.
The organisation receives a concise, actionable report. Illustrated with hard quantitave data, and providing advice in the words of staff themselves.

In organisations we've worked with before, this has helped them with sticky problems, and led to significant increases in revenue.
it works - see testimonials.
Although the product can be used to provide a one off diagnosis, and delivers results from the first use, most use it as a regular intervention over a number of years that keeps them on track.
