This document discusses predictive analytics and predictive modeling. It begins with an agenda that outlines an introduction to predictive models, why organizations build them, comprehensive analytics solutions, benefits of models, and a demonstration of IBM SPSS Modeler. Predictive models are empirically-derived algorithms used to predict future outcomes like customer actions and risk levels. Building predictive models allows organizations to better target customers, improve strategies, and increase profitability. Effective predictive analytics requires developing predictive models, segmenting customers, testing strategies, and establishing a feedback loop for continuous improvement.

What are Predictive Models?
Empirically-derived algorithms used to predict future outcomes
In the context of customer analytics, a model:
• predicts future customer actions
• combines individual attributes that are strong predictors
• produces an assessment score for each customer

Model Objective Function
Specifies the Customer Behavior to be Predicted
• Who is Included in the Customer Sample?
– Define all Inclusions and Exclusions
• How is Customer Performance Defined?
– Define “desirable” customers
– Define “undesirable” customers
– Define “indeterminate” customers
• How Long is the Performance Period?
– Define the Observation and Performance Dates
11. 11
Example Objective Function for Churn
Customer Performance
(Pertains only performance period)
– Good: Non-churn
– Bad: Voluntary Churn
– Indeterminate: Involuntary Churn
(customer terminated for non-payment)

Why Build Predictive Models?
Predictive models harness the knowledge
within your data about customer behavior
so you can treat different customers
differently, tailoring the right treatments
and offers to the right customers, thereby
improving customer strategies and
increasing profitability

strategy and “challenger”
strategies for each segment
• Execute strategy tests and
analyze results after a
defined test period
• Perform model validation
(controlling for treatment)
• Deploy new champion
strategy with quantifiable
business improvements

Solution
Develop predictive models for customer value and churn
Identify customers with high value and/or high churn propensity for tailored treatments
(e.g., special retention campaigns, VIP service, liberal fee-reversal policies)
Conduct champion/challenger tests to identify the best treatments for each segment
Implement new champion and develop next set of challengers
