  5. Why Customer-led Services? • Growing important of information in products • Response to threats to traditional business from the explosion and prevalence of the Internet • Price transparency • Customer mobility and a lack of loyalty • The Long Tail • An opportunity to create competitive advantage from customer data

  6. Adverse selection and micro-segmentation IdealPricingModel Price Over/Under-priced segments Risk

  7. For what products will you see them? Value • Information • Insurance • Banking • Credit • Mass-Customizable • Clothing • Electronics • Long Tail • Books • Music • Content Expert Decisions Manual Decisions Manual Decisions Automated Decisions Complexity

  8. Current Example - Pay as you drive insurance • Logical extension of micro-segmentation • Use of a far broader range of variables and predictive analytics • Precisely rate the risk presented by individual consumers. • Static measures of risk • Driver's age • Driving history • Commuting distance • Dynamic measures • Speed • Time of day • Location • A pricing band for every single policyholder they serve

  9. Current Example – Amazon.com

  10. Getting closer with My amazon.com

  11. Future Example - Personal online shopping • Site reconfigures itself to suit me • Explicitly through instructions (rules) • Implicitly though analysis (analytics) • Channels are integrated • Email, IM, Mobile, Phone, Store(s), Mashups • Choices and actions (or comments) in one affect the others • Offers, pricing, shipment are dynamic • Based on the specific purchase consideration • Loyalty is rewarded • If information is available that could improve my experience, it is used

  12. Current Example – Online Banking

  13. Future Example - Personal banking • The website does more than show my accounts • It stops asking me to open accounts I have • It stops asking for information for new accounts that it already has • It makes recommendations on credit cards it does not just list them • It feeds information about what I look at into offer models • Pricing and offers are made in real time to suit me • It makes it easy for me to do the things I always do • And so on… • Meanwhile… • The ATM remembers you and reconfigures itself • The IVR reconfigures based on wait times, status, past behavior … • The monthly statement highlights out of pattern activities • Branch staff make intelligent suggestions based on your recent behavior and the behavior of successful customers with a similar profile

  14. Challenges in developing customer-led services • Organizational • Design, deployment, lifecycle, innovation... • Some banks now release hundreds of new products a month • Price transparency and intra-P&L pricing • Channel consistency • Ending the separation between back and front office • Ethical • Data privacy • Business mashups and privacy • Cross-border regulations

  15. Technology Challenges

  16. What rules look like If customer's debt exceeds customer’s assets then set the approval_status of customer’s application to Declined If flight’s onTimeReliability is less than 75% then flight’s valueToMe is “Low”. If (vehicle’s age is between 0 years and 8 years) and (policyholder’s age is between 21 years and 60 years) and (policyholder’s number_of_claims does not exceed 3) Then set policyholder’s case to “STANDARD”

  17. Descriptive Models Identify Relations Use: Find the relationships between customers Example: Sort customers into groups with different buying profiles. Operation: Analysis is generally done offline, but the results can be used in automated decisions – such as offering a given product to a specific customer Descriptive models can be used to categorize customers into different categories – which can be useful in setting strategies and targeting treatment.

  18. Predictive Models Calculate Risk Or Opportunity Use:Identify the odds that a customer will take a specified action Example: Will the customer pay me back on time? Will the customer respond to this offer? Operation: Models are called by a business rules engine to “score” an individual or transaction, often in real time Predictive models often rank-order individuals. For example, credit scores rank-order borrowers by their credit risk – the higher the score, the more “good” borrowers for every “bad” one.
