Welcome
2015 was nominated the year of the customer
with organisations focusing on providing the
actionable data and insights to better manage the
entire customer relationship across all channels.
The Customer Insight and Analytics Exchange:
Utilising Big Data once again connected 60
C-Level, Senior VPs, and Directors of Customer
Insight, Big Data and Analytics. The Exchange is
testament to an industry that is evolving more
dynamically than ever. Retaining and ensuring
positive experience of empowered customers
requires continual technology innovation and
improved customer insight.
From the discussions it emerged that successful
companies define a data strategy to support the
customer insight vision. They serve empowered
customers in the way they want to be served, not
the way the company wants to serve them. But
how do they then execute on those strategies and
measure the impact?
This report outlines the central themes that arose
from discussing the challenges keeping senior
customer insight and data analytics executives
awake at night, and the industry trends that are
driving the high levels of investment we are seeing
across the broad technology and service provider
landscape.
Customer Insight &
Analytics Exchange
“(The) Exchange format is very
different from events like NRF as
it provides ideal combination of
insight presentations and meaningful
discussion between clients and
consulting vendors.”
Consulting Partner, Wipro

7. Session Highlights & Key Themes
27th – 28th January 2015,
London, UK
DENE JONES, CUSTOMER DIRECTOR, SHOP DIRECT
Working Smarter through Smarter Data: How Big Data Analytics can Translate
into Smarter Shopping Experience
Data analysis is influencing the future of the retail industry by enabling merchants to better
understand their customers and serve them in highly personalized ways.
In the age of online shopping, technology is continuously changing the future of retail, the way
customers purchase products and what they expect from their favourite ecommerce retailer.
During the Exchange Dene provided an insightful and enlightening contribution on how to bring
creative and data-driven marketing and advertising together in order to deliver relevance to
consumers, drive stronger sales and discover deeper insight into audiences.
RUSTY WARNER, PRINCIPAL ANALYST, FORRESTER
Contextualising Big Data
Forrester defined Big Data as the practices and technologies that close the gap between the
data available and the ability to turn that data into business insight. Rusty provided great
examples of how embracing Big Data is something that companies must do to survive, since
success in the age of the customer hinges on a brand’s ability to understand and address
the expectations of the empowered consumer. Listen to his presentation or follow the link to
download Rusty’s Q&A.
MICHAEL DE HALPERT, HEAD OF EUROPEAN CUSTOMER ANALYTICS &
DECISION SUPPORT, EBAY INC
Beyond Customer Segmentation - Treating the Customer as an Individual
Strategic market segmentation is a dynamic decision process that leads to improved allocation
of resources for long run competitive advantage and more targeted brand building.
Mike shared the importance of having a strong strategy and background infrastructure when
analysing the customer segments created. It is not about the number of segments and CRM
strategies but the way you analyse it. It’s not about doing more but about doing less!
