BUSINESS SITUATION
In today’s fast-paced business environment, organizations struggle to generate actionable insights from vast amounts of data. Traditional BI tools often fall short in delivering real-time insights needed for strategic decision-making. A leading telecom operator faced challenges in maintaining customer continuity as Area Managers spent more time on data analysis than on customer acquisition. Existing systems lacked real-time insights, hindering effective engagement strategies.
SGA Approach
To address these challenges, SGA implemented a comprehensive automated insights generation system. This approach was structured into several phases:
Data Integration and Preprocessing:
- Collected and integrated large datasets from various sources, including customer recharge data, transaction history, and customer interaction logs.
- Ensured data quality through cleaning, normalization, and preprocessing techniques to facilitate accurate analysis.
Advanced Anomaly Detection:
- Deployed machine learning models capable of dynamic thresholding, trend analysis, and seasonality adjustment. This enabled the system to identify unusual changes in customer continuity, both sudden and gradual.
- Employed both supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms to detect anomalies, ensuring a robust detection mechanism.
Causal Graph Analysis:
- Utilized Bayesian Networks to map relationships between different variables affecting customer continuity. This helped in understanding the root causes of anomalies.
- Developed causal graphs to visualize these relationships, providing Area Managers with clear insights into factors driving customer behavior.
Impact Scoring and Prioritization:
- Implemented AI models to assess and prioritize detected issues based on their potential impact on customer continuity.
- Developed scoring algorithms that considered factors such as the severity of anomalies, customer segment affected, and historical behavior patterns.
Automated Report Generation:
- Leveraged Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate detailed reports. These reports included actionable insights, strategic recommendations, and visualizations to aid in decision-making.
- Enabled automated dissemination of these reports to relevant stakeholders, ensuring timely access to critical information.
Generative AI Interaction:
- Integrated a conversational AI interface, allowing Area Managers to interact with the system for customized insights and follow-up questions.
- Enabled natural language queries and responses, enhancing the usability and effectiveness of the system.
ENGAGEMENT
SGA’s engagement involved a thorough analysis of the telecom operator’s data infrastructure and customer behavior patterns. Key steps included:
- Deploying machine learning models for dynamic thresholding, trend analysis, and seasonality adjustment.
- Utilizing Bayesian Networks for causal graph analysis to understand the root causes of anomalies.
- Implementing generative AI for automated report generation and interactive insights.
