Customer insight is a great source of competitive advantage and profitability. However, the challenges to create and manage customer insight effectively are enormous. This seminar will get you on the road to doing it right and helping your company stay customer-focused.

Creating customer insight can be a money pit, as the experience of many companies who have sunk millions of dollars into customer databases without getting value shows. And, in many industries, particularly those with direct contact with their end-customers, so much information is available from so many sources that creating a coherent picture is difficult. Few companies have a formal structure that brings all these sources together.

Professor Merlin Stone, IBM Professor of Relationship Marketing at Bristol Business School and Business Research Leader with IBM Business Consulting Services, will give you an understanding of what customer management actually is, which information is used, and how this information needs to be marshalled to support customer value.
