Main Challenges to Customer Centricity 
Marketing 
Pressure 
Multiple 
Customer 
Definitions 
 Large organizations are marketing to the same database in 
different ways and times 
 Inconsistent cadence and messaging damages trust and credibility 
 Over-marketing to customers can lead to decreased engagement and 
increased churn 
 No central view of the customer 
 Lack of relevant messaging to customers which can lead to low 
engagement 
Too many 
dashboards – 
little insights 
 Batched analysis can lead to missed opportunities to present offers 
and messaging in a timely manner. 
 Missed opportunity to impact loyalty and lowers ROI.

Not Just Big Data Graphs… 
Enterprises are NOT looking for new presentations of their data anymore, 
but for RESULTS and for solutions and people to achieve them

Answering the Tough Questions… 
Which of my most valuable customers is most likely to churn away? 
And provide me with enough advance notice to go & fix this! 
Which additional offers can I recommend to a customer based on 
their recent behavior and spending or savings habits? 
What is the best channel to connect with my customer, and when? 
What products can I cross- or up-sell to gain a more solid, long 
lasting customer relationship, for greater engagement and 
value?
