McKinsey & Company Uses AI-Powered Intelligence to Deliver Customer-Centric Experiences with CustomerOne

CustomerOne extends the power of AI-powered decision-making, using its proven, comprehensive approach to help organizations drive up to 20% revenue growth

NEW YORK and LONDON, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, marketing and sales teams have to connect with their consumers and buyers in entirely new ways. But disjointed data, complex tech stacks, and siloed work practices can derail those efforts.

That’s why McKinsey & Company is extending the power of CustomerOne’s proven, comprehensive approach. By driving personalization at scale, sales growth, and enabling data-driven pricing, organizations in any industry can achieve 10-20% revenue growth.

Powered by QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, CustomerOne uses a Hybrid intelligence approach, combining human understanding with machine and AI intelligence, to reveal customer insights, identify opportunities for growth, and deliver lasting impact at speed. It also delivers agile operating models and builds capabilities to transform critical insights into customer action.

Surface Actionable Insights with End-to-End Growth Transformations
Customer preferences, demands, and dynamics are rapidly shifting. For organizations with siloed functions and complex technology stacks, it is challenging to stay in lock step with their customers. The data boom, as well as the proliferation and convergence of sales channels, makes this challenge even harder. To capture the right moments across every channel, identify new growth horizons, and capture long-term value, these organizations need an end-to-end approach that aligns technology with deep expertise.

CustomerOne seamlessly integrates strategy, technology, AI-powered growth capabilities, and implementation accelerators. It drives top-line growth, creates long-term customer value, and helps marketing and sales teams achieve higher returns by optimizing efficiency and effectiveness across the entire sales funnel.

“We have seen a lot of seismic shifts in the way consumers and buyers are changing,” said Kelsey Robinson, Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company. “They have tremendous power. The ability for marketing and sales teams to succeed in this new world hinges on what they do with the incredible amounts of consumer-permissioned data to get closer to the customer, personalize experiences, and create ‘ignite’ moments.”

CustomerOne’s expanded set of domain capabilities includes: 

  • Personalization and Customer Value Management: Drives personalization at scale by integrating unified customer data, machine learning algorithms, and analytics, so marketers can derive the right insights and act on them. Outperforming companies achieve 40% more of their revenue from personalization than their peers.
  • Sales Growth: AI-powered capabilities enable sales teams to win new customers, increase customer retention, and drive loyalty. Companies that do this well drive 10-20% revenue growth.
  • B2B Pricing: Helps organizations analyze complex market dynamics, including customer willingness to pay, customer and product segmentation, and contract performance. CustomerOne uses the outputs to dynamically manage pricing and performance, and achieve above-market improvements. Companies that use data-driven pricing achieve 2-7% return on sales by expanding their margins.

“Successful change extends across the commercial organization. From the strategic decision on where and how to grow, to the insights that inform each customer interaction, most organizations struggle when it comes to putting the right talent, expertise, capabilities, and technology into one comprehensive approach to drive change. The extension of CustomerOne brings our capabilities together as one to drive faster end-to-end transformations for our clients across industries,” said Stuart Schardin, Partner at McKinsey & Company.

“Even in the best of times, growth is not easy. In fact, 25% of companies don’t grow at all,” said Jeff Hart, Partner, McKinsey & Company. “At the core of what we do is to help our clients across industries meet this moment with a proven, technology-enabled approach that makes it easier to consume insights and recommendations, and quickly unlock new growth opportunities. For example, a logistics company using this approach was able to expand its margins by 44%, while a chemical company achieved 2% return on sales in a matter of six weeks.”

Imran’s blame game is aimed at protecting his thefts: Marriyum

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb says PTI chairman Imran Khan’s blame game is aimed at protecting his thefts.

Addressing media in Islamabad on Tuesday, she said Imran Khan’s blames of foreign intervention through cypher are contradictory to his own views and various other statements.

The Minister said Imran Khan used the office of Prime Minister for his personal gains and compromised country’s prestige. She said people of the country are aware of Imran Khan’s fake personality and they will not allow him to ruin country’s economy again.

The Minister said President Dr. Arif Alvi has also declared Imran Khan a liar, who got caught doing illegal foreign funding worth billions of rupees and propagated the conspiracy of foreign intervention through cypher.

Senators Come Face to Face Over AstroTurf Controversy

Government and opposition members came face-to-face in the Senate over the matter of AstroTurf removal for a PTI gathering in Lahore.

The AstroTurf in Lahore’s National Hockey Stadium was removed for PTI’s rally which took place on the ground. The removal of the expensive pitch sparked a backlash as the party was accused of misusing public property.

In a recent Senate meeting, the government representatives including Irfan Siddique questioned PTI over the controversial move. The government representatives affirmed that hockey, despite being the national sport, has been left behind and PTI’s rally has only rubbed salt in the wound.

The removal of AstroTurf will cost PHF a huge amount, however, it was learned that it was to be changed and the project had already been approved. The government members also blamed the previous government for not providing enough funds to the hockey department in the last years. Senator Taj Haider even went on to claim that the grant of Rs. 10 million from the Sindh government is the reason for the survival of hockey in Pakistan.

While government members claimed that the AstroTurf should have been removed only after the availability of the new one, the PTI members brushed off the accusations of damaging public property during the rally as they asserted that the AstroTurf had to be removed anyways.

Malala Visits Pakistan on 10th Anniversary of Taliban Shooting

Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai on Tuesday returned to her native Pakistan to meet flood victims, 10 years after a Taliban assassination attempt against her.

Her visit — only the second since she was flown to Britain for life-saving treatment — comes as thousands of people protest in her hometown, where the same militant group is once again on the rise.

Yousafzai was just 15 years old when the Pakistani Taliban — an independent group that shares a common ideology with the Afghan Taliban — shot her in the head over her campaign for girls’ education.

Visit aims to remind world of need

On Tuesday, two days after the 10th anniversary of the attack, she landed in Karachi, from where she will travel to areas devastated by unprecedented monsoon flooding.

Her visit aims “to help keep international attention focused on the impact of floods in Pakistan and reinforce the need for critical humanitarian aid,” her organization, Malala Fund, said in a statement.

Catastrophic flooding put a third of Pakistan under water, displaced 8 million people, and caused an estimated $28 billion in damages.

Yousafzai grew up in the town of Mingora in the deeply conservative Swat Valley, close to the border with Afghanistan.

The Pakistani Taliban, known as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), waged a years-long insurgency there that ended with a major military crackdown in 2014.

But there has been a resurgence in unrest since the Afghan Taliban returned to power in Kabul last year.

The TTP has claimed dozens of attacks in recent weeks, mostly against security forces and anti-Taliban elders.

“We are tired and can no longer carry dead bodies,” said Muhammad Ali Shah, the former mayor of Swat.

“It is the responsibility of the state to protect its citizens and provide them with security, but the government’s silence on all these incidents is criminal.”

More than 5,000 people blocked a main road through Mingora, sparked by the latest attack on a school bus on Monday, in which the driver was killed and a 10- or 11-year-old boy was wounded.

The TTP has denied responsibility, and the police said they are investigating the motive.

Students and teachers walked out of schools — including the school attended by Yousafzai that her father established — to call for peace.

“Our protest will continue until the arrest of the killers. We will not rise from here until the top government officials assure us of justice and an end to militancy,” said Dr. Amjad Ali.
