- 9. Service Providers can find Social Network leaders
Group with no leader
§ Leaders are 1.2 times more likely to churn compared with non-leaders.
§ There are two types of leaders: disseminating leaders and authority leaders. The former are
closely connected to their group using outgoin calls, while the latter are connected through a
larger proportion of incoming calls.
§ When a disseminating leader churned, additional churns were 28.5 times more likely. When
an authority leader left the group, additional churns were 19.9 times more likely.
§ Typically, there is a very limited time between leaders’ churn and the churn of the followers.

- 10. Automation is opening new opportunities for data collection and
analytics
Example: Wall Street Journal
reported pilot programs to use
smart phones to buy and bag
grocery items. Smart phones can
also deliver and apply coupons.
Opportunity for analytics:
• Opportunity to analyze customer profile and coupon uptake.
• CSP customer profile can provide additional insights to the grocery store –
internet viewing, mobility, TV viewing, habits, etc. – driving intelligent
campaigns to deliver coupons.
• Grocery purchase behaviour, jointly with CSP profile can drive Television
Advertising.

- 14. Product knowledge hub – faster product onboarding and
central repository for product knowledge
Call Center Web Chat
Problem
• Data is fragmented across CSP intranet, manufacturer
site and third parties
• None of them provide a complete recipe to a customer
• Customer needs a step by step process, some of which
is manufacturer dependent and some CSP dependent.
• A plenty of information is available on third party sites –
e.g., You Tube.
Solution
• Search and locate all the data associated with tech
support from all possible sources Product Knowledge Hub
• Normalize and index the data
• Parse the queries and use context specific search to
locate relevant information
• Once the problem is understood, direct the customer to a
web page which answers the question, including video
and step-by-step tutorial
Results
Consumer
• Improved call center efficiencies CSP Data
Feedback
• Calls can be diverted to web self service
Manufacturer Third Party
• CSP seen as central repository for product knowledge
Web Site Web Sites
• Improved product on-boarding

- 29. Traditional data warehousing
has become too complex for many customers
Nearly 70% of data warehouses experience performance constrained
issues of various types
§ Too complex an infrastructure § Too inefficient at analytics
§ Too complicated to deploy § Too many people needed to maintain
§ Too much tuning required § Too costly to operate
IT shops supporting business operations have to think about how to deliver more
critical analytics for the enterprise with shorter time to value

- 32. Elaboration on Security – Business Problem
• Can Telco data be correlated with social media to get an improved profile of the customer?
• Can we use the resulting profile for use cases:
• Acquisition
• Product Introduction
• Campaigns / responses
• Care – assisted / self care
• Loyalty and churn management
• How about sharing these profiles with third parties?
• Could we buy third party data and correlate with CSP information?
• Under what condition can we interact with the customer and provided added value to
improve product, promotion, price, care or policies
• How about Analytics in the Cloud? Can we ship CSP CRM data to a third party cloud?
We are observing two extremes, both are bad for business:
• A conservative view that uses security to shut down any mingling of PII information with
social media
• A liberal view of personalized communication with no regard to customer privacy
preferences.
32 © 2012 IBM Corporation
- 33. Elaboration on Security – Options and related capabilities
Anonymous Personalized
PII data is obfuscated PII data includes opt-in
Data is summarized Different forms of permission seeking / management
Social media is correlated with masked data Insight created on a 1-to-1 basis
Inferences are projected to segments Trust and privacy is personalized and closely managed
Actions are broadcasted to segments
Data masking retains non PII content Rigorous management of privacy management
Identification and categorization of PII data No contamination of anonymous and personalized
Rigorous process for data masking Policies constantly managed and revised based on
customer and regulator feedback
Market experience is showing it is hard to manage information revealed selectively.

Breakaway – a company who’s generally considered to be best in class in their execution of
key business strategies, thereby able to exhibit the characteristics of an agile,
transformational and optimized organization. This classification excludes “bleeding edge” Breakaway

or pioneering aspects, however these may also be evident in such companies. Key
predictive performance indicators are used, modeling for outcomes and information is
utilized enterprise wide for multi-dimensional decision-making.
Differentiating – a company who’s execution of key business strategies through utilization of
information are viewed as generally better than most other companies, creating a degree Differentiating
4
of sustainable competitive advantage. Management has the ability to adapt to changes to
the business to a degree and measure business performance. Business leaders and
users have visibility to key information and metrics for effective decision-making.
Competitive – a company who’s capabilities generally are in line with the majority of similar
Competitive

companies, with growing ability to make decisions on how to create competitive
advantage. It is also the starting point to establish some consistency in key business
metrics across the enterprise.
Foundational – a company who’s capabilities to gather key information generally lag behind
the majority of peers, which could potentially result in a competitive disadvantage. Foundational

Information is not consistently available or utilized to make enterprise wide business
decisions. Still have a degree of manual efforts to gather information.
.
Adhoc – a company who’s just starting to develop capability to gather consistent information
in key functional areas, generally falling well behind other companies in the corresponding Adhoc

sector. Information beyond basic reporting is not available. Generally have time
consuming, manual efforts to gather information needed for day to day business
decisions.
