Advanced Customer Analytics for Managers

Description

Course description:

 

This course will make a jump-start introduction to applications of ML and AI to create a customer-centric analysis. The course will cover practical steps of Segmentations, Churn analysis, Live Time Value models, Optimization of campaigns, Recommendation Systems, Dynamic Pricing, and Customer Network analysis combined with theoretical methodologies, which we are using on a daily basis. The course will contain six workshops where students will be working with data from Telco, Banking, and/or Retail.

 

The course will be based on the MS Power BI tool, however, interested students will be able to benefit from R/Python-based notebooks. The course is co-developed based on the experience and efforts of Liubomyr Bregman, Richard Bobek, and Adam Blascik.

 

Course structure:

 

1. How and why to make Customer Segmentation?
2. Churn Analysis and early detection
3. Life Time Value Forecast. Use cases and popular approaches.
4. Campaign Optimization and next best actions
5. Recommendation systems for online and offline. Review of best practices
6. Social Network Analysis of Customers, how to use, and how to benefit.
7. Dynamic Pricing.
