Types of predictive modelling

  • Classification / Propensity

– What customer account is most likely to respond / convert / cancel based on historical response data and the array of behavioural data we have about them?

  • Clustering

– How can I divide my account base into meaningful and usable groups as a framework for marketing communications? By value, by service or product portfolio

  • Association and Sequence

– What is the optimal sequence and frequency of events and interventions that lead to a one off purchase from a company becoming a high value account?

  • Time Series

– What will product demand be next month / quarter / year?

  • Optimise product sourcing decisions
  • Identify pricing errors during product lifecycle
  • Predict end of life products in time to divest stock held

Is it practical for your business?

  • Do you need to be statistically trained?

– No… – Appropriate skills can be transferred and learnt – Business understanding is just as important as technical skill – Analytical skills can be taught

  • Data readiness?

– You need some data, certainly… – Does not need to be organised into a tidy single supporter view – Data is often [always] fragmented and disparate (occupational hazard)

Brammer

  • Leading distributor reduces cost of carrying surplus stock and improves customer

service

  • Applications and Benefits

– IBM/SPSS predictive analytics helped Brammer to manage its inventory more efficiently, significantly reducing the need to carry surplus stock, resulting in a total inventory reduction of £31.1 million in one year – Inventory turnover improved from 3.2 times at the end of 2008, to 3.7 times at the end of the first half of 2009 – Greater understanding of patterns and trends in customer purchasing data helps Brammer forecast marginal stock products more accurately and improve customer satisfaction by making a wider product range available for immediate dispatch – Detailed insight into inventory requirements has helped Brammer develop closer relationships with strategic suppliers leading to further cost benefits

Case Study: Cablecom

  • Based in Switzerland
  • Core business: cable TV
  • Diversified into:

–Broadband internet access –Digital phone –Pre-paid mobile

  • Business issue: retention of broadband customers

–High cancellation rate at end of initial contract

slide-25

A SELECT INTERNATIONAL COMPANY

Identified crucial point in lifecycle

  • Created customer satisfaction survey, run at month 7 of

initial contract

  • Ten “0-10” questions, one free text
  • Converted to single “satisfaction score”, 0-100

–100 = perfectly satisfied – 0 = totally dissatisfied

slide-26
SLIDE 26

A SELECT INTERNATIONAL COMPANY

Predictive approach

  • Combined satisfaction scores with other data assets:

–Demographics –Product ownership and usage behavior

  • Built models to predict satisfaction score for all customers
  • Used predictive satisfaction score to drive retention marketing
  • Result: churn reduced from 19% to 2% in treated group

Combine NPS (KPI) with Customer Feedback (key to actions) and Text Mining Do more of these things Supplementary open ended question:

  • Promoters

“what is the single most important thing that makes you likely to recommend us?’’

  • Passives

“ what is the single most important thing we could do to make you more likely to recommend us?’’

  • Detractors

“ what is the single most important thing that currently makes you unlikely to recommend us?” Fix these things

Challenge: In a highly competitive environment, Banco Itau Argentina wanted to find a more effective way to increase customer satisfaction and lifetime value while maximizing the bank’s profitability. Solution: The bank chose IBM Business Analytics software and used it to create predictive models that identified clients with a high probability of accepting marketing offers. It also used sales optimization technologies to maximize the effectiveness of its marketing campaigns. Impact:

  • Improve understanding of the customer to provide an unprecedented level of

targeting and coordination of campaigns which decreased cost and increased revenue

  • Implement 20-30 rolling sales campaigns
  • Increase revenue from existing clients by 40 percent
  • Increase the total retail customer contribution margin by close to 60 percent

Optimizing customer cross-selling and acquisition strategies

“We wanted to increase customer satisfaction and life- time value while maximizing bank profitability through the analysis and execution of

  • ptimal cross-selling and

acquisition strategies. That’s why we chose solutions from IBM.“ Mauricio González Botto, COO, Banco Itaú Argentina

American Public University System

Used predictive analytics to boost student retention and academic excellence

“For the first time, we have a statistical model that can show, based upon data, which students are most susceptible to

  • attrition. Before we started using IBM

SPSS predictive analytics, we were just guessing from among hundreds of variables and trying to put them together by hand.”

  • Dr. Phil Ice, Director of Course Design

for APUS.

The need: APUC wanted to boost student retention and academic excellence by better predicting the likelihood of students staying on course or dropping out. The solution: Data-driven analysis of student behavior provided the university administrators with an understanding of the factors contributing to retention. The predictive analytical model made connections across datasets, including those that were not readily apparent. The university could spot, in real-time, anomalies in students’ behavior indicating whether they are at risk of dropping out. Administrators can then quickly build intervention strategies, including better course designs, to keep those students in the program and

  • n target to graduation.

Real business results:

  • Boosted student retention and academic excellence.
  • Predicted with approximately 80% certainty whether a given student is going to

drop out.

  • Protected university’s bottom line by establishing the conditions for improved revenue

flow.

Centre Hospitalier de Niort

Forecasting medical demand

“Using IBM SPSS Modeler, the IBM SPSS data mining workbench, we now plan to forecast the medical activity levels of selected hospital departments over the period 2008 to 2012.” — Delphine Yzèbe, of the Niort DIM

The need: To measure annual medical activity and trends. To produce projections of medical activity for selected departments. The solution: The Centre Hospitalier de Niort uses IBM/SPSS Statistics to centralize all medical practice data and cross-reference data items on the basis of time parameters. IBM SPSS Modeler, the IBM SPSS data mining workbench, will enable the hospital to run activity forecasts for future years Real business benefits:

  • A user-friendly, intuitive, simple-to-use solution requiring no

programming

  • Immediately operational
  • Computing power and depth of detail in processing outcomes

Attentiveness and availability of local support from IBM/SPSS

Today’s objectives

  • Provide a concise overview of what Predictive Analytics is all about
  • To provide examples of what has been done and what can be done
  • To help you start to decide what you might do … and how
  • To provide a framework for the process involved and the resources required
slide-42
SLIDE 42

Our final recommendations

  • Follow a process methodology

– E.g. CRISP-DM

  • Make sure you can use (deploy) the results before going too far
  • Prove it with a test

– Tests may take days, sometimes weeks, not months

  • In testing or production start with business objectives that will bring most value
  • Balance that against risk

– Have we done this before? – Has anyone else?

Advice to get started

  • Don’t get hung up on modelling techniques - focus on Business

Understanding and Deployment

  • Build Internal Credibility: Think about where you would get biggest

impact for the least effort.

  • Consider the full data landscape
  • Consider the sorts of roles involved /impacted
  • Consider integration with other business insight systems (e.g. MI/BI)
  • How will you know its worked? Focus on measuring the benefit – e.g.

response rate lift, increased cross-sell, revenue/profit impact

Common Misunderstandings

  • Revolutionary results overnight!
  • You need a clean, single-customer-view warehouse
  • The more accurate the model the better
  • You’ll need a Ph.D.

– In fact , data–literate, business focussed people learn how to do this all the time.

  • It’s a ‘Big Bang’ initiative
