- 40. The WAMM
THE WEB ANALYTICS MATURITY MODEL
A strategic approach based on business maturity and critical success factors - Stéphane Hamel - http://immeria.net/oamm
1. Impaired:
Characterized by the use of out of the box tools & reports, limited resources lacking formal training (hands on skills) and education (knowledge).
Web Analytics is used on an ad-hoc basis and is of limited value and scope. Some tactical objectives are defined but results are not well
communicated and there are multiple versions of the truth.
2. Initiated:
Working with metrics to optimize specific areas of the business (such as marketing or the ecommerce catalogue). Resources are still limited but
the process is getting streamlined. Results are communicated to various business stakeholders (often director level). However, web analytic might
be supporting obsolete business processes and thus, be limited in its ability to push for optimization beyond the online channel. Success is mostly
anecdotal.
3. Operational:
Key Performance Indicators and dashboards are defined and aligned with strategic business objectives. A multidisciplinary team is in place and
use various sources of information such as competitive data, voice of customer and social media or mobile analysis. Metrics are exploited and
explored through segmentation and multivariate testing. The Internet channel is being optimized; personas are being defined. Results start to
appear and be considered at the
executive level. Results are centrally driven, but broadly distributed.
4. Integrated:
Analysts can now correlate online and offline data from various sources to provide a near 360 view of the whole, value chain (see “Limits of web
analytics” note). Optimization encompasses complete processes, including back-end and front-end. Online activities are defined from the user
perspective and persuasion
scenarios are defined. A continuous improvement process and problem solving methodologies are prevalent. Insight and recommendations reach
the CXO level.
5. Competitor:
This level is characterised by several attributes of companies with a strong analytical culture (Davenport and Harris 2007):
a) One or more senior executives strongly advocate fact based decision making and analytics
b) Widespread use of not just descriptive statistics, but predictive modeling and complex optimization techniques
c) Substantial use of analytics across multiple business functions or processe
d) Movement toward an enterprise level approach to managing analytical tools, data, and organizational skills and capabilities.
6. Addicted:
This level matches Davenport’s “Analytical Competitor” characteristics: deep strategic insight, continuous improvement, integrated, skilled
resources, top management commitment, fact-based culture, continuous testing & learning and most important: far beyond the boundaries of the
online channel.
