(or prediction)
Autoclassifiers, decision trees,logistics, supportvector machinesand time series
Predict group membership (e.g., will this employee leave?) or a number(e.g., how many widgets will I sell?)
Technique Algorithms Usage
Segmentation
Autoclustersand K-Means

Key challenges uncoveredDifficult to deliver end-to-end customer analytics solution able to consume, integrate, analyze, score and determine most appropriate action with individual customer
Inability to gather and synthesize insights from analysis of social, text and transactional customer data to generate real-time information to predict customer sentiment and needs
Incomplete view of customer information at the time of interaction, resulting in inappropriate or incomplete offers, communications or both
Inconsistent service delivery and weak customer relationships, resulting in high churn
Lack of channel integration and siloed lines of business, causing inconsistent or tactical customer interactions
Focus on uncoordinated marketing offers — one-hit selling, as opposed to lifetime value
Challenged in using analytics to add short-term value or enhance long-term strategy

Scenario 2: Real-time Offers and Cross-sell
• Anne’s product portfolio shows she recently bought a new home
• Recent spending patterns in her demand account and her bank card show she’s made a number of large household purchases recently
• Real-time transaction data shows Anne just purchased a kitchen appliance
Scenario 1: Optimizing Offers
• Pete called the bank contact center today to ask about loan processing times
• He checked mortgage rates on the bank website three times
• He tweeted for information on buying a second home
IBM Predictive Customer Intelligence in action: Banking
Bank Action
• Proactively sends Anne an offer to her smartphone for an increase in her credit line and a reduction in interest rate—while she is still shopping. This heads off possible card offers from retailers.
• Alerts Anne to the bank’s secure digital vault service by simply taking pictures of important documents with a smartphone

Scenario 1: Churn Reduction• Roger called the contact center today to talk about poor reception at his home
• Roger has had 10 dropped calls in last week in his home area – that’s 10x the average of 1 dropped call per week!
• Roger will be eligible for a new Smartphone under his contract in 6 months
IBM Predictive Customer Intelligence in action: Telco
Communications Service Provider (CSP) Action
• Customer service representative acknowledges the issue, apologizes to Roger for poor network service at his home, informs him of the estimated time for resolution of the issue
• CSR knows that the client is at risk of churning (due to PCI solution) and offers the client early upgrade to the latest Smartphone with a new signed contract (PCI solution recommendation).

Scenario 2: Improved Cross-sell / Up-sell • Sara changes jobs and starts consuming media content over 3G in the public transport• Sara tries 4G but decides not to subscribe to the Full High Speed Bandwidth for 4G Offer.
Communications Service Provider (CSP) Action
•CSP’s PCI solution suggests that Sara may like temporary 4G access. Based on Sara’s mobility profile (locations visited during the day, time spent at each location) & demographics, Sara is similar to Jane who utilizes high speed access during her commute to work on public transport.
•CSP offers Sara location based high speed access subscription to allow her to stream videos on the way and back from her using public transport (selected lines on partnered public transport network)
•The solution is custom-fit for Sara – Sara accepts the offer, CSP gets the additional revenue

Intelligence V10
The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice uses predictive analytics to put delinquents
on a path to prosperity
13 fewerdelinquency arrests per 1,000 juveniles in the first two years
Solution components
Smarter Government
Business challenge: When a delinquent enters the juvenile justice system, he is at a crossroads, and the wrong decision could set him up for a life of crime. With limited time and money to spend on each child, the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (FDJJ) sought a way to optimize each child’s chances without slowing the process.
The smarter solution: The FDJJ is using analytics to tap in to years of data about the relative success of different interventions with different kinds of offenders. Decision makers can now use the insight provided by predictive models and statistical analysis to quickly and accurately determine the strategy that will work best for each young person who enters the system.
“With powerful predictive analytics technology, we can gain the deep insight we need to increase the chance of a successful outcome for each and every child.”—Mark Greenwald, chief of research and planning

Its challenge was to convert what it knows about customers into actionable insights that help account reps craft the optimal offers that meet their needs and head off customer dissatisfaction.
Smarter Solution ⏐ C Spire Wireless is using predictive models to examine the complexity of its customers’ behavior and determine which service mix is optimal for each customer’s need, as well as the indicators of imminent churn.
