Predictive Analytics in Action

Predictive analytics is used in many ways commercially including managing risk, improving productivity, marketing and sales campaign planning, general CRM (Customer Relationship Management), healthcare and more. Some examples include:

Marketing campaign planning – based on how people react in terms of clicking ads, opening emails and other responses.

Predicting customer behaviour – which customers may buy more products or services and how (upsell, cross sell and so on).

Productivity – using existing data to predict where production challenges may occur in the future so as to enable preventive measures to be developed and instigated.

Risk management – the finance industry can build profiles of ‘good and bad risk’ customers so as to make more accurate lending decisions, and insurance underwriters can more accurately assess risk when pricing policies.

Fraud – detecting fraud is increasingly important, and predictive analytics can help in flagging up potential and actual fraudulent activity.

Healthcare – data can be used to predict the future health profiles of patients and what conditions they may be susceptible to thus enabling appropriate treatment or preventative medicine to be planned in advance.

How Predictive Analytics Has Evolved

The development and adoption of tech such as machine learning and Power BI (Business Intelligence) coupled with increasing amounts of data capture in commercial environments, and increasingly cost effective ways of storing it such as in the cloud, mean predictive analytics is a viable form of intelligence for businesses of many types and sizes.

The need for businesses to make the most of opportunities in fast changing commercial environments and remain competitive means ways of reliably predicting future trends as opposed to guesswork are of tremendous value.

That’s where predictive analytics comes in.
