Improve customer experience with a customer intelligence platformDavid Corrigan
A short presentation on the real problem with customer experience - the status quo. The issue is the link between your data and analytics strategy. What's required is context and intelligence to make data analytics-ready. Customer intelligence platforms are designed to do that - to produce an intelligent customer 360 for analytic and operational use cases. Better customer data is the foundation for improving the customer experience.
- The document discusses the growing importance of data analytics and business intelligence for organizations. It notes that most companies now see analytics as critical to their success.
- It also discusses the shift towards decentralizing analytics and giving more business users direct access to data and insights. This allows leaders across departments to make more informed, data-driven decisions.
- Specifically, the document focuses on how enhanced analytics can help improve channel management strategies. It notes that channel operations are often complex with data residing in different systems, making performance difficult to analyze. Better analytics is needed to understand channel performance and costs.
This document discusses how advanced analytics and big data have become top priorities for companies. It argues that big data has the potential to transform businesses and deliver major performance gains. However, companies need to carefully define a pragmatic strategy for using data and analytics, focusing on how to make better decisions. The key is having a clear strategy for how to use data to compete and deploying the right IT architecture and analytical capabilities. Past failures with CRM show that analytics initiatives need to align with companies' processes and decision-making.
This document discusses how companies can make advanced analytics work for them. It notes that while big data is attracting investment, most companies are unsure how to implement it. It recommends that companies 1) choose the right data sources, 2) build models that predict and optimize business outcomes, and 3) transform their capabilities to develop analytics that managers understand and can use daily. The key is aligning analytics with business goals and processes rather than just focusing on data itself.
The document discusses how companies can fully harness the power of data analytics. It provides two key insights: 1) Companies must choose the right data, build predictive models, and transform capabilities. 2) They should develop business-relevant analytics, embed analytics in simple tools, and develop big data skills.

Advanced analytics uses sophisticated techniques like machine learning, data mining, and predictive modeling to gain deeper insights from data beyond traditional business intelligence. While executives see the potential benefits, most companies are unsure how to implement advanced analytics. The document recommends starting with targeted efforts to build models from existing data sources and transform organizational culture, rather than massive overhauls. This balanced approach can help companies develop analytics capabilities and maintain flexibility as technologies and opportunities evolve.
Business analytics is the process of using statistical methods and technologies to analyze historical business data in order to gain insights and improve strategic decision making. It helps businesses increase profits, market share, and shareholder returns. Business analytics focuses on developing new understandings of past business performance through continuous data exploration and analysis. The results of business analytics can be used directly for decision making or to drive automated decisions.
The document discusses how companies can better utilize data and analytics to support decision making rather than focusing primarily on acquiring more data. It argues that most companies do not effectively use the data they already have. To leverage data, companies need to adopt evidence-based decision making as a cultural shift. This involves establishing single data sources, providing real-time feedback to decision makers, explicitly defining and updating business rules based on facts, and coaching employees who make regular decisions. Empowering employees to make decisions based on data analysis, like at Seven-Eleven Japan, can provide competitive advantages if companies learn to effectively capture, analyze, and act on data.
While companies are investing heavily in data analytics technologies, many are not seeing significant returns because they lack the capabilities to properly analyze data and implement changes based on insights. For businesses to truly benefit from big data, managers must focus first on using data to guide operational decisions, establish processes for cleaning and analyzing data, and drive cultural changes to support evidence-based decision making. Only after achieving these foundations can companies hope to leverage more advanced big data technologies and analytics to gain competitive advantages.
The document provides tips for simplifying an analytics strategy. It recommends accelerating data processing to enable fast insights and outcomes. Companies should delegate analytics work to technologies like business intelligence, data discovery, analytics applications, and machine learning. Each company's path to insights is unique, so they can take either an outcome-driven approach for known problems or a discovery-based approach to find patterns for unknown solutions. The ultimate goal is to uncover insights from data and make data-driven decisions.
Data Analytics with Managerial Applications InternshipJahanvi Khedwal
This document discusses how companies can make advanced analytics work for them. It identifies three key capabilities: 1) Choosing the right data, including both internal and external sources, and asking how available data can help key decisions. 2) Building predictive models that optimize outcomes simply, focusing on the least complex model that improves performance. 3) Transforming company capabilities by embedding analytics in tools for front-line use and making analytics central to daily operations.
Companies face complexity and confusion with analytics that prevents discovering real opportunities. To simplify, companies should accelerate data through a hybrid technology environment to create fast data, insights, and outcomes. They should also delegate work to analytics technologies like business intelligence, data discovery, machine learning, and cognitive computing. Finally, companies need an outcome-driven mindset to pave individual paths to insight through hypothesis-based or discovery-based approaches depending on their problem and knowledge, and then make data-driven decisions.
Big data has transformed many businesses, though some companies remain wary of investing heavily in it. To successfully use analytics, companies must follow three steps: source and manage multiple data sources, build advanced analytics models to predict and optimize outcomes, and transform the organization so data and models guide better decisions. Specifically, companies should identify usable existing data and new sources, develop simple yet powerful analytics tools, and train employees to make data-driven decisions. When done right, analytics can optimize performance if grounded in business needs and practical data relationships.
Big data and analytics have become top priorities for companies. To fully leverage data, companies need the ability to collect and manage multiple data sources, build advanced analytics models, and transform their organization to make better decisions using data and models. While skepticism exists, companies that learn core big data skills may gain a competitive advantage, as these capabilities become more important for competition.
1. The document discusses shifts in analytics and big data, including that the majority of organizations now realize returns on analytics investments within a year, and that while customer focus remains important, organizations are increasingly using data and analytics to improve operations.
2. It also notes that many organizations are transforming processes by integrating digital capabilities, and that the value driver for big data has shifted from volume to velocity - the ability to quickly move from data to action.
3. Speed is now the key differentiator, as data-driven organizations with capabilities for broad, fast analytics usage and agile technical infrastructure are creating significant business impacts.

Introduction
Big Data is the biggest hame-changing opportunity for marketing and sales
since the Internet went mainstream almost 20 years ago. The data big bang
has unleashed torrents of terabytes about everything from customer behaviors
to weather patterns to demographic consumer shifts in emerging markets.
The companies who are successful in turning data into above-market growth
will excel at three things:
ƒ Using analytics to identify valuable business opportunities from the data to
drive decisions and improve marketing return on investment (MROI)
ƒ Turning those insights into well-designed products and offers that delight
customers
ƒ Delivering those products and offers effectively to the marketplace.
This goldmine of data represents a pivot-point moment for marketing and
sales leaders. Companies that inject big data and analytics into their operation
show productivity rates and profitability that are 5 percent to 6 percent hight
than those of their peers. That’s an advantage no company can afford to
gnome.
This compendium explores the business opportunities, company examples,
and organizational implications of Big Data and advanced analytics. We hope
it provokes good and useful conversations.

4 ways to improve your customer performance measurementObservePoint
1. Marketers need answers to what is working, what isn't working, and why. However, most solutions only provide limited insights that marketers don't fully trust.
2. To gain a complete picture, marketers must evaluate the entire customer journey beyond just marketing touchpoints, using holistic and unified data from across the customer experience.
3. Marketers also need to measure success using broader financial metrics like revenue and profitability, not just initial conversions, and optimize for customer lifetime value over single transactions.
1) Data is a strategic lever and fundamental building block for driving organizational growth. Companies typically grow through market expansion, new buyers, new offerings, acquisitions, and productivity.
2) Marketers face challenges in understanding market opportunities, matching customer personas to contacts, assessing the impact of new offerings and acquisitions, and optimizing processes.
3) The top priorities for contact data management are acquiring new contacts and cleansing front-end and back-end data to improve data quality and downstream performance metrics.

Mieke extended her research topic to investigate the data availability of process mining data in SAP and the new analysis possibilities that emerge from it. It took her 8-9 months to find the right data and prepare it for her process mining analysis. She needed insights from both process owners and IT experts. For example, one person knew exactly how the procurement process took place at the front end of SAP, and another person helped her with the structure of the SAP-tables. She then combined the knowledge of these different persons.

How to Leverage the Power of Data Analytics in Sales?
1. How to Leverage the Power of Data
Analytics in Sales
As per Forbes Insights, data is the DNA behind the robust analytics and insights supporting
modern organizations to recognize new products, determine how to serve customers better,
and enhance operational efficiencies.
Organizations that embrace analytics have significantly more growth than those that delay
adoption. These organizations are also defined by having comprehensive digitization of data
and adoption of analytics. However, just because data integration is highly increasing doesn’t
imply that businesses are using it accurately. Not exactly 50% of businesses are using big
data systems successfully. Not all strategies are designed optimally. To see the significant
impact of data utilization on sales and complete profitability, you should follow some key
strategies.
Substantial Business Outcomes with a Well-organized Data Foundation
Several organizations observe data as the foundation against which they want to create
better customer experiences, increasing sales revenues, enhancing operational efficiencies,
and delivering new innovative products. Eventually, what values most organizations is
bringing all essential data together to notify the decisions and drive successful actions.
2. Analytical infrastructure built on a well-organized data foundation is critical to decisive
decision-making and achieving the best business outcomes.
Organizations strive to utilize data efficiently but are facing obstacles. As per Forbes Insights,
just 48% say they have a reliable data management process. Amidst the challenges: 52%
have difficulty integrating multiple sources of data, 49% strain with prioritizing data, and
47% are challenged by planning the right data to collect.
If data is fallacious or corrupted, the machine won’t deliver workable insights. That’s why
having a solid data foundation built around the production and acquisition of data is
essential for success in sales. The modern data foundation brings together all the most
significant data points, connects them to key performance indicators, and produces a unique
version of data accuracy and understanding across the entire organization.

Determining Data Deluge
Businesses across various industries are running towards embracing digital transformation.
They want to stay contentious and drive business growth and modernization. But digital
transformation comes with hurdles, particularly around data management.
Data is one of the organization’s most important assets but leveraging data insights can be
challenging. Businesses are typically swamping in data that fails to deliver the insights and
business value required to assist their customers.
Some organizations have standardized practices of utilizing data to scale and optimize their
business performance, while only a few marketers can say that they have a consolidated 360-
degree view of their customers.
Leveraging Data Insights Indicates having a Path towards the Analytical
Journey
The cost of data is directly associated with how it is utilized and implemented. It can either
not influence business performance, affecting only a small percentage of an organization’s
results or stimulating stable business growth.
3. If you are initiating your analytical journey, you tend to examine questions such as “what
happened?” and “why did it happen?”—the understanding of whys and what is known as the
Descriptive Analytics stage of analytical maturity.
As you proceed towards more advanced stages, the questions might get changed. You now
have the foundation to know “what” and “why,” and you will be asking questions like “what
will happen next?”. Predictive Analytics will deliver answers to these questions and beyond
that. Then the Prescriptive Analytics will provide the following best action advice and
support based on specific business events.
Organizations that leverage, utilize, and integrate actionable insights into their regular
decision-making can adapt themselves and build a long-term competitive advantage.
Forrester’s research specifies that “insights-driven” companies expand at an average of more
than 30% annually.
Data insights are transforming the source of competition. Leading companies are utilizing
their abilities to enhance their core operations and propel utterly new business models.
According to Gartner, the businesses that leverage actionable insights for digital commerce
will achieve at least a 25% increase in revenue, cost reduction, and customer satisfaction.
By concentrating on business outcomes, you can drive your digital concept and transform it
into insights and data strategy that delivers substantial and measurable results. Start basic
with your existing data and emphasize success. Actionable data analytics empower you to
stay modern with any market changes and will facilitate quicker, better-informed, and more
specific business decisions in real-time.
