How do you approach a customer insights project? We have summarized all phases.

What happens to the data:

From the data graveyard to the overall concept

A successful customer insights project in 6 (+ 2) steps

Planning & use cases

Before implementation, we discuss individual wishes and goals in the planning phase. The availability of the data and their sources are clarified, use cases are defined and an overall vision is developed. In a second review and prep step, the data are checked again and prepared for inclusion in Customer Insights.

The 6 phases of a Customer Insights project

  • 1) Ingestion: Customer & activity data are ingested from all sources.
    • 2) Mapping and matching: The profile data from transactional and observational sources are identified and analysed.
    • 3) Conflation: Data are merged into a single customer profile with proof of origin.
    • 4) Enrichment: The profiles are enriched with AI models and proprietary signals from Microsoft Graph.
    • 5) Insights: Findings are derived that automate and optimise the processes. Company and customer key figures are determined and individual segments are created for e.g. specific marketing activities.
    • 6) Action: Insights can be used across all channels with connectors and APIs. The result is a 360° view of customer profiles across all systems and tools.
