BIG DATA OFFERS
UNPRECEDENTED AWARENESS OF
PHENOMENA — PARTICULARLY OF
CONSUMERS’ ACTIONS AND
ATTITUDES
WHAT IS BIG DATA?
KEY INSIGHTS
DECISION-MAKERS WANT TO UNDERSTAND
THE PATTERNS IN THE PAST AND THE
PRESENT IN ORDER TO ANTICIPATE WHAT
IS MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
LET US LOOK AT SOME CASE
STUDIES:
#1. FILM RATINGS
•NETFLIX ROUTINELY SERVES UP PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS TO
CUSTOMERS BASED ON THEIR FEEDBACK ON FILMS THEY’VE ALREADY
VIEWED. THIS IS A PREDICTION CHALLENGE.
•THE ERROR OF NETFLIX’S ALGORITHM WAS ABOUT 0.95 (USING A
ROOT-MEAN-SQUARE ERROR, OR RMSE, MEASURE), MEANING THAT ITS
PREDICTIONS TENDED TO BE OFF BY ALMOST A FULL “STAR.”
•WITH THREE YEARS OF EFFORT BY SOME OF THE WORLD’S BEST DATA
MINING SCIENTISTS, THE AVERAGE PREDICTION OF HOW A VIEWER
WOULD RATE A FILM IMPROVED BY LESS THAN 0.1 STAR.
#2. CUSTOMER ATTRITION
•IF PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS DRAWING ON BIG DATA COULD
ACCURATELY POINT TO WHO IN PARTICULAR WAS ABOUT TO
JUMP SHIP, DIRECT MARKETING DOLLARS COULD BE
EFFICIENTLY DEPLOYED TO INTERVENE, PERHAPS BY
OFFERING THOSE WAVERING CUSTOMERS NEW BENEFITS OR
DISCOUNTS.
•THERE IS A LIMITING FACTOR TO PREDICTION ACCURACY
FOR CONSUMER BEHAVIOR SUCH AS CHURN.
#3. WEB ADVERTISING
•THE AVERAGE CTR% FOR DISPLAY ADS HAS BEEN REPORTED
AS LOW AS 0.1-0.2%.
•BEHAVIOURAL AND TARGETED ADVERTISING HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO IMPROVE ON THAT SIGNIFICANTLY, WITH RESEARCHERS
REPORTING UP TO SEVEN-FOLD IMPROVEMENTS.
•BUT STILL, SEVEN-FOLD IMPROVEMENT FROM 0.2%
AMOUNTS TO 1.4% — MEANING THAT TODAY’S BEST
TARGETED ADVERTISING IS IGNORED 98.6% OF THE TIME.
RELEVANCE TO MANAGERS IN INDIA
 The randomness inherent in human behavior is the limiting
factor to consumer modelling success.
 Marginal gains can perhaps be made thanks to big data, but
breakthroughs will be elusive as long as human behavior
remains inconsistent, impulsive, dynamic, and subtle.
 But when an activity is driven by consumers’ whims, no
amount of ingenuity can produce the ability to know what will
happen.
 Big data analytics can improve predictions, but the biggest
effects of big data will be in creating wholly new areas.
 The success of facebook, twitter, and linkedin social networks
depends on their scale, and big data tools and analytics will
be required for them to keep growing.
 Big data will see its biggest and most important application in
the realm of artificial intelligence.
So you should expect big data
to have big impact. And you can
bet that it will help machines
interact more usefully with our
unstructured, changing, and
sometimes downright confused
human ways. But if you’re
counting on it to make people
much more predictable, you’re
expecting too much.
