Analytics Service
Loyalty Profiling of Life Insurance Advisors
A one-time Analytics service project, with one of the largest Life Insurance companies in India, aimed at improving relationship framework for Insurance Advisors.
The project involved loyalty measurements by multiple variables:
- Length of contract
- Length of ‘active’ period
- Spells of ‘active’ periods
- Average duration of a spell
- Business value
- Width of business value – number of policies
- Depth of business value – average value per policy
- Number of customers servicing
- Customer acquisitions
- Customer churn
Using five years policy sales along with Advisors’ demographic data, Advisors were ‘clustered’ into a few groups and each group was characterized and labelled based on the commonality of behaviour.
Interesting insights were developed by further analysis of contribution made by each group to the total business value.
Analytics Training
Life Insurance Policy Sales Data Mart Design Workshops for a US Compamy
For a very large Life Insurance company in USA, we conducted two workshops, one for business users and the second for technical team.
Engaged along with a large Indian System Integrator, the goal was to develop a high level data mart design.
During a four- day business users workshop:
- Business users were informed about data available and useful for a potential Analytics Solution
- Business performance measurements were discussed
- Analysis dimensions and their hierarchies were explored
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were developed
The findings were structured into a potential schema design and documented.
At the second workshop with the technical team, the schema design was discussed along with the relevance of different elements.
The outcome of the second workshop:
- Validation of schema design from technical perspective, including debate on star schema v/s snowflake
- Mapping with source data tables
- Rules for data transformation and computation of KPIs
A detailed documentation was the final outcome of the workshops.
