Title: Slides for Management Information Workshop, 1 November 2005
1Management Information Its impact on strategy,
resource allocation and
commercial value
Mungo Dunnett, Director Simon Chilvers, Senior
Analyst
2Background
- We are the main sales and marketing consultancy
operating in the UK mortgage market - We have worked with 7 banks and 9 of the top 20
lenders, on issues of - Cross-selling
- Retention
- Databases
- Profitability
- Sales management
- Alignment of Sales, Marketing and Finance
3Purpose of today
- To explore
- 1) How the mortgage industry typically uses MI
- 2) The key MI the business needs and how to
assemble it cost-effectively - 3) Creating insight into customer value and
behaviour - 4) And using it mobilising MI for commercial
value - To position you more strongly to create value
from properly focused MI and a facts-based culture
4My approach
- What interests us are issues of strategic clarity
and commercial efficiency - The questions we ask are
- How can you operate more efficiently?
- How can you function more profitably?
- How can you generate more profitable revenue?
- Right now the greatest period of consumer change
in the history of lender/consumer relationships - Your ability to understand the trends, their
impact, and inform strategic decisions properly
is key
5Your intention for this workshop
- What would you like to get out of today?
6What's going on? Overview of mortgage industry
usage of management information
7Before we start what is MI?
- Its Management Information
- Thats the quantitative stuff stats, trends,
financials - But its also Market Intelligence
- A better phrase? The retailers would say so.
- It means the whole picture
- Who is interacting with us?
- What are they buying (or not)?
- What are they worth to us?
- And crucially why do they behave with us as
they do? - This is consumer insight the steer to
operations and finance, without which youre
flying blind
8Attitude towards MI three categories of lender
- (1) Full information users (honourable minority)
- Investment has gone consistently into the
assembling of data - Adequate data quality and analytical platforms
are in place - Consumer research produces robust insights into
customer behaviour, and steers product and
service decisions - Crucially, the organisation expects this type of
information to be available to help in strategic
decisions and resource allocations - But this is not a defining characteristic of
retail FS
9Attitude towards MI three categories of lender
- (2) Spendthrifts (irritating minority)
- Significant investment has gone into (usually)
technological information solutions - But the system never worked properly (CRM?
Datawarehouse?) - Or the information providers were never given a
chance - Or the corporate sponsor left
- Or the information was too challenging to the
status quo - Tends to be (though not exclusively) the bigger
lenders - Tendency to revert to previous (generic)
behaviours
10Attitude towards MI three categories of lender
- (3) Firefighters (the remainder)
- Access to data is limited messy systems, queue
for internal IT resource - No automated data extract procedure succession
of one-off requests to be individually
prioritised by IT - No adequate analytical platform enabling business
users to create fields, or run evolving queries - Research sporadic, inconsistent, and subject to
discretionary budget cuts - Often a characteristic of lenders with volatile
strategies, and historic commitment primarily to
market share and gross lending volumes
11Frequent mistakes in mortgage strategy
- Far too many big plans or tactical
initiatives are based on supposition and
misinterpretation - Not enough proper planning too few facts
- Not enough time to think and execute properly
- Plans are too often driven by a dangerous
combination of Treasury/Balance Sheet pressure
and the need for gross sales
12Workshop moment
13Workshop moment
- Do you recognise these types of organisations?
- Are these the factors you have seen?
- What else tends to get in the way?
14By contrast characteristics of focused
organisations
15Unsuccessful companies are indiscriminately busy
Success is getting the right customers and
keeping them
Frederick Reichheld
16You need facts who do you really want?
- You cannot possibly be effective in acquiring and
handling customers profitably without being fully
conversant with the facts about your own customer
base - Some of the most expensive failures in mortgage
marketing have been by organisations going on
hunch and ill-informed decisioning - Do not treat customers the same
- Understand the differences between customer
groups what they want, how they buy, and
whether they are worth your precious resource
17The impact of increased competition and churn
- The net interest margin of the Building Society
sector has almost halved in the last 10 years - And the banks are generally declining also,
though protected by issues of brand and
cross-holdings - Margin decline on this scale is usually a sign of
an oversupplied and/or struggling sector - The impact is causing strategic tactical change
- Acquisition no longer covers all ills
- Product niches are being sought
- Distribution channels remain of huge importance
- Management information is now key
18Assembling analytical data Pragmatic and cost
effective approaches
191) The corporate dashboard
- Familiar as part of the annual planning process
or the strategic review - The purpose create an overview of the businesss
performance, set within the context of the market - Common issues
- No consistency of approach
- Multiple sources of data without legitimacy
- Building from scratch each time
20Lack of data consistency
- Who owns data?
Finance? Marketing? IT? All
three? - An agreed central source is essential
- Silo data systems and carefully hoarded techie
resource is unacceptable - Methodological agreement essential
- Data quality concerns generally overstated
- Critical decision to utilise data that is not
100 correct but is adequately robust for
organisational decisions - This need not tie back to formal outputs such as
annual reports and members roll - Pragmatic decisions are key or nothing will get
done
21Common themes in regularly reported information
- There is no universally accepted series of
metrics but the stronger MI lenders tend to
generate robust information in similar areas - Two themes consistency and relevance
- Consistent tracking of the same things, carried
out and then represented in the same way - Allowing like for like comparisons
- Relevant to the current activities and commercial
priorities of the organisation - Evaluation, tracking, futures based on clear
trends - Used for activity tracking, Board summaries,
annual plan
22Essential reporting areas
- The levers to commercial performance tracked
monthly to the bottom line wherever possible - Customer, product and channel performance
- Tracking of stock, new and closed customers and
accounts - Across a range of fields age band, length of
connection, location, channel - Too frequently simply an overview of total
balances, products sold - The MI must carry commentary, and allow execs to
evaluate tactical activities and identify
strategic issues which most overview data cannot

35And be careful the metrics sometimes shift
- The key measurement used to be Average Mortgage
Life - It was seen as a driver of profit the longer the
life, the greater the profit (Customer Lifetime
Value) - But this is now heavily corrupted
- Lenders have lengthened mortgage life by churning
their own SVR book - And spinning customer back onto low-margin
products - This is increasing mortgage life but
sacrificing profit - Plus its another entirely generic measurement
- The message watch what you measure!
36Dashboard data summary
- The component parts are less important than the
consistency and relevance to key decision-making - Though most lenders ought to know
- Products held per customer
- Average balances held (inc by sub-segment)
- Customer numbers per segment and sub-segment
- Product penetration per segment
- Open, closed and new accounts (inc trends)
- Customers, products and sales per channel
(sub-segmented) - Market share over time (if accessible)
- And (of course) profit attached to each element
37Workshop moment
38Workshop moment
- How good is the provision of dashboard data?
- What gets in the way?
392) More advanced MI propensity and profitability
- Establishing the likelihood of certain customers
to buy, or leave and the actual profitability
of customers is generally done only by the top
15 lenders (with some surprising exceptions) - And yet these are vital activities for any lender
- Given the critical strategic importance of
retention, you must know who to focus your
efforts on - And given the profit importance of cross-selling,
you must know who is most likely to buy - The single most important aspect for any company
is profitability without which you cannot make
robust decisions at exec level
40Propensity analysis
- At the heart of sales and marketing inefficiency
is an overly generic approach to customers and
products - All customers deemed of equal importance
- Any product sale is a positive step
- and staff are incentivised accordingly
- Instead of which customers vary in their
likelihood of wanting any given product - And there are very good reasons for this being
the case - Governing principle it is bad business (for you,
and for them) to focus equally on all customers
41Propensity methodology
- Analytical work is a business of diminishing
returns - For the largest organisations, with the biggest
customer bases, significant value results from
intensive (and expensive) effort - E.g. Cards and some of the biggest lenders
- However there are many impediments to commercial
value besides the lack of a state of the art
analytical platform - Relatively simple approaches (and investment) is
often entirely adequate if the rest of the
machine is working
42Commercial implications cross-selling
- Cross-selling often seen as the answer to
diminishing profitability and loyalty - And yet efforts often stymied by lack of staff
engagement (multiple failures of CRM investment) - Or effort is simply not put into cross-selling
- Or receives such low investment that low
unit-cost approaches kill customer response - However organisations that know which customers
are most likely to buy (and understand why, and
how to approach them) focus their sales,
marketing and servicing activities accordingly
43Purchase propensity geodemographics (example)
44Commercial implications retention
- The commercial benefit applies more strongly to
the burning bridge of retention - There is close correlation between certain
factors and attrition - Balance
- Channel
- Product type
- The ability to identify customers at highest risk
of leaving is central - To maturity management (comms and/or pricing)
- To ongoing servicing (even pre-drawdown!)
45Attrition propensity by channel (example)
46Attrition propensity by product mix (example)
47Profitability analysis
- The single most cost-effective element of
analytical work - Without it, the organisation cannot make robust
decisions - And there us a high likelihood that all
discretionary activities (sales, marketing,
servicing) are inefficient - Plus the likelihood that effective activities
cannot be proven and ineffective ones cannot be
identified being the case - And yet this area is enormously controversial
and often gets utterly stuck in circular argument
48Lack of profit analysis is very costly
- For example it is fatal to attempt to manage
attrition without being fully conversant with the
facts about your own customer base - Some of the most expensive failures in mortgage
retention have been organisations going on hunch
and ill-informed decisioning - Do not treat customers the same
- Understand the differences between customer
groups so that you can protect yourself
49The gearing effect on the bottom line (example)
- A 10 improvement in the retention of the top 10
customers, together with a 10 reduction in the
retention of the bottom 10, creates a 70
increase in the long-term value of the entire
customer base - Whereas lifting all customers retention rate by
10 only creates a 20 increase in value
Advisory Board
50You must understand your own profit dynamics
- Typical situation relatively poor understanding
of actual profit drivers - Pricing decisions based on broad Treasury
assumptions - Acquisition and servicing costs usually deemed
too hard to determine or too political - Basic costing to 80 robustness will quickly
identify key margin issues - Determine all basic costs
- This is not Activity Based Costing hell!
- Track customer behaviour retention levels are
key - Revenues balance x margin x longevity
51Typical profitability profile of customer bases
of total profitability
Deciles most profitable to least profitable 10
- Pareto efficiencies nearly always manifest
themselves within a customer or product base.
The top 20 produce 80 of profit.
52Cutting through the murk
- It needs to entail, at a detailed level, the
profitability of existing and recently acquired
business - Needs to be accessible at customer, account and
channel level (e.g. branch, introducer) - Based on income and directly attributable costs
- Need not include ambiguous areas (buildings,
staff) - But includes all costs than can be reasonably
allocated - Not on Customer Lifetime Value (spurious)
- Not a 100 accurate figure tying back to PL
- But a workable tool to identify and rank
customers and product holdings - And attribute a profit figure to specific
business activities

take will become quickly evident
67Workshop moment
68Workshop moment
- How accessible is this sort of information?
- What have been the impediments to getting hold of
it? - What have been the impediments to actually using
it?
69Cost-effective IT investment some thoughts
70It depends on where you are
- The larger lenders generally have the data
technology issues sorted out - Ready access to all core data
- Stand-alone analytical platform
- Analytical software
- Single customer view
- Availability of techie resource
- The issues here tend to be around focus and
mobilisation - For the others getting a basic platform is key
- A working analytical marketing database is
essential
71Common misconception its too expensive
- It is often believed to be prohibitively
expensive - Figures of 200k or more for necessary IT
platform - Expensive modelling packages
- Impossibility of assembling robust data to feed
in - Ongoing dependence on consultant techies
- In order to assemble the information you need
- The data can be analysed on Microsoft Access!
(Standard analytical tool for professional
services firms handles up to 1m records) - The issue is not size or technology its skill
and experience
72The basic functionality necessary
- A simple database will allow much of the
functionality of far more expensive systems, at a
fraction of the cost (and complexity) - Feeds off pre-agreed monthly extracts from the
core systems - Reducing IT time required on an ongoing basis
- Once the extract code is written, it is the same
each month - Set up to produce a regular suite of MI reports
- Automatic queries that extract required data for
regular or monthly reports across the type of
dashboard fields mentioned)
73Typical table view shown in Access
74Example query mortgage customers by age band
75Result of query exported into Excel charts
76What it allows
- Ready access to the data, without tortuous
prioritisation of IT resource - Often the biggest single organisational benefit
- Flexibility in viewing data
- Basic knowledge of Access allows sales or
marketing staff to run queries - Easy to add flags or fields to the established
structure - Ability to implement direct marketing activities
- Extracting of target customers for sales
programmes - Evaluation of respondents
- A no-frills solution is easier than you think
77Consumer insight
78The poor relation in financial services
- Huge investment has gone into quantitative,
IT-driven analytical work - But far less sustained effort goes into
qualitative understanding of the customer base - Very often, research work entails
- Customer Satisfaction tracking (unfocused)
- Brand tracking (exposed to budget cuts)
- Ad-hoc focus group work
- Research being seen as a librarian function
without an obvious linkage to commercial value - Compare with Retailing FMCG motor industry
79Some thoughts on typical FS knowledge gaps
- Retail financial services does not have a strong
track record of applied consumer insight - Product innovation despite leanings towards
High Street Retail is not strong - An industry under threat of commoditisation on
price - Systematic search for consumer feedback
especially from other peoples customers is
largely absent - Major organisations have relatively little
understanding of their own customers experience - And often become bogged down in customer
profiling and segmentation without real
commercial application
80Consumer insight Some reflections from the
Retail sector
81Segmentation in attitudinal groupings
82Customers are not what they used to be
- Demise of traditional forms of values and
consumption who or what do we learn from? - Customer learning a critical challenge
- Implication where do future generations learn
about your organisation? - And who do customers now trust?
- Tesco more than the government, the police or
the Church - I have had a longer relationship with my
toothpaste brand than I have had with a person
83Example values of the under-30s
- Self at the centre of their world
- Because Im worth it (LOreal)
- Let you entertain me
- Immediate gratification
- Uncertainty is a fact of life
- Corporate promiscuity
- Consumption as a basis of self-definition
84How retailers get to know
- I would rather see whats lying about their
bedroom than know anything about their age,
gender or ethnicity - It means more to us if we can find out which
other brands they have used in the past three
months than knowing where they live and what job
they have
85Essential customer research generics
- The research function needs to be asking the big
organisational questions - Preferably ongoing though usually only
occurring at major strategic review time - The first step is done the least frequently
- Ask what business are we really in?
- What do we want to be known for?
- Unless you think radically at this stage
- You will never be different
- You will always be chasing the market leaders
- You will probably have to cut price (again)
- You are strategically exposed (compelling
reason..?)
86Essential customer research specifics
- Can you be sure you know what your customers,
prospects and lost customers think about your
service from first enquiry to redemption? - This is phone interview work
- Dont do it yourselves, or you will not hear the
truth - A small amount of customer research is guaranteed
to reveal uncomfortable insights about your
business - Why people like your organisation and dont
like it - How you compare against other lenders
- And what you need to change to increase results
87For example the customer experience
- No amount of fancy marketing can conceal an
unsatisfactory customer experience - Its worth putting yourself in your clients
shoes what would you think of the contact you
have from your own organisation? - How fragmented is it?
- Does it feel like one company, or many?
88What you need to know
- It is essential to know the value of the various
customer-oriented options you could take - i.e. Who is going to respond in certain ways?
- What do you offer, compared to the competition?
- What is the cost of beating the competition?
- What, therefore, is the cost-effective strategic
route? - This applies to customers service experience,
product preferences, loyalty triggers - E.g. Who leaves you and why?
- Who doesnt buy from you and why?
- What do customers think of the way you handle
them? - And for instance what about introduced
customers?
89Again, it depends on where you are
- The larger firms will have large research budgets
- The issues may be more to do with the
mobilisation of commercial value - Or with the consistency of the research approach
- For other organisations as with the Access
database example it is a question of having to
at least have the basic information - It would apply to any local business
- What do my customers prefer?
- What do they like better about my competitors?
- What ought I to focus my efforts on?
- The alternative is invariably the generic and
inefficient
90Workshop moment
91Workshop moment
- How strong is the commitment to developing strong
customer insight? - What are the issues here?
92Turning MI into commercial value Mobilising
activities
93The message
- Focus! Focus! Focus!
- Sales, Marketing and Customer Service must focus
on the customers that count, and the activities
that matter to them - But its how you do it that makes the difference
- And indeed whether you do it
94Linking the three key functions
- It is essential to link all three activity areas
- Failure to do so is at the heart of CRM failure
- These are the key drivers of incremental revenue
95Applies to large and small but especially large
- Repeated picture within retail FS organisations
- Analytical data is available but is not being
used to steer activities - Activities that do occur are not evaluated
robustly or evaluated at all - Activities are launched without adequate customer
knowledge or in the face of research findings - Firefighting and sales pressure mean reversion to
historic activities and behaviours - The result insufficient focus, differentiation
and commercial impact - Resources poorly allocated and ROI poorly
understood
96The hardest step of all integration, and
implementation
- Getting sales, marketing and service teams to
work together is critical and desperately
difficult - All the tools can be there analytical work
research salesforce marketing budget call
centre multiple contact channels - And yet the customer experience continues to be
fragmented and unsatisfactory - And sales efforts are not properly integrated
with market intelligence and marketing activities - Because people work in silos!
- The cultural issues are a massive impediment
97Workshop moment
98Workshop moment
- Does this sound familiar?
- How good is your organisation at linking
departments together? - What tends to get in the way?
99Creating a facts based culture
100The massed ranks of inertia
- It would be acceptable to our Board if we were
to do a u-turn on our acquisition strategy - Often the best natural advocate for information
and evaluation is Finance - Not Sales (bonuses under threat?)
- Or Marketing (unreliable witness rightly or
wrongly) - Essential to have senior support
- Or the usual prioritisation will perpetuate
101Key measure return on investment
- Success is determined by
- Incremental profit over time (or incremental
surplus to protect and grow solvency) - Generated by a combination of product holdings,
margin and longevity - Sales, marketing and servicing decisions ought to
be driven by these factors - But are they understood?
- Must track the responsiveness of customers to
different activities - Are activities properly evaluated?
- Do they drive incremental profit?
102Runs on the board and appetite for learning
- Financial Services is awash with pilots
- Low-investment test culture
- Or a cunning means to incremental implementation?
- Execution of pilots often flawed
- And subsequent evaluation often missing
- It is essential to trial information-driven
activities - They justify both the information-gathering
- And the ROI from the sales and marketing activity
- But the successful organisations tend to adopt
analytical and evaluative approaches as standard - Robust justification is expected
- Failure is acceptable as part of iterative
learning
103Summary thoughts
104Summary some themes to consider
- Commercial strategy is dependent on robust
insight and evaluation - Must identify the key targets for resource focus
- Must understand what makes these customers tick
- Must track the financial effect of different
activities - It is vital that you do whatever you can to avoid
taking margin straight off your bottom line - As the industry compresses, the dynamics around
sales volume and market share are changing - Sustainable profit now depends on cost-effective
targeting of specific customers, through defined
contact processes, with specific messages - Cannot be done with generic approaches
105Management Information more important than ever
- Many lenders simply dont know
- What their customers look like
- What customers think and actually experience
- Why customers join and leave
- What is the value of these customers
- What is the bottom-line effect of customer and
product trends - This is bad marketing and bad business
- Its vital to have consumer insight and facts
106Stuart Rose / Giorgio Armani information as power
- The weakness in the market is your opportunity
- If you can create thinking space, resource,
and corporate commitment - You can generate real consumer insight
- You can understand where resource will create ROI
- You can create truly distinctive propositions
- This is your future and your defence against
- Those with deeper pockets
- Those with stronger brands
- And those with stronger distribution networks
