Our Model
User Requirements
Customer requirements are accurately defined using a variety of techniques and protocols to drill down into customer behaviour. We analyse existing customer behaviour by looking at input, behaviour and output generated. The data produced helps ensure loyal customers are retained and any new business opportunities are identified.
GAP Analysis
GAP analysis data is a key business indicator. Making the best use of your resources ensures that organisational performance is at its best. We will help you to identify the need for portfolio development and/or market diversification as well as defining company strengths to be exploited and any weaknesses that require mitigation.
Problem Definition & Solution
Clearly defining a problem and finding a solution is what we do best. Through our analysis we can help to clearly define challenges and bring a new perspective to your business. We will offer a suitable programme solution that will achieve the desired result.
Client Goals & Company Culture
We work closely with you to help achieve company objectives and goals. Our team will also work with you to help you understand your individual company culture and find business and social solutions that fit within it.
Research
Find out what your customers want, need, or believe. Our research is used to understand customer buying behaviours and how this behaviour affects the market that you operate in. It is also important to understand your competition and any other internal and external businesses forces. Armed with this information decisions can be made on how best to market your product.
Cluster Analysis
Using cluster analysis, a customer ‘type’ can represent a homogeneous market segment. DSG will identify particular needs in a market so that products can be designed with greater precision and direct appeal to a particular segment reducing the need for costly broad-scale marketing.
Customer Segmentation
Customer segmentation analysis allows organisations to identify groups of customers based on their individual characteristics and transactional history. DSG analyse behavioural patterns within these groups to create a customer blueprint that can be used to target specific customers segments.
CRM Data Mart
Company data is prepared using our world class statistical modelling. Customers are analysed through various dimensions.
Geographical Dimension
DSG will apply analysis techniques that identify specific geographical features when looking at an existing customer base or potential new market segment. Data is then used to disaggregate targeted segments of the population.
Demographic Dimension
Identifying specific buyer characteristics within your existing customer database results in a better understanding of your target market and your business operations.
Psychographic Dimension
DSG’s will analyse what motivates your customers to buy and help identify what type of rationale customers apply to their decision making processes.
Targeting the Right Customers
Predictive Modelling
At DSG we use ‘state of the art’ predictive data modelling to calculate the probability of specific outcomes. This data can be used to identify the areas within your business that are most valuable and so favourable for growth and development.
Profit Projections
Predicting profit is key when planning new business and keeping control of existing business operations. Our experts will also assist you with identifying the price and output levels that will return the greatest profit to your organisation.
Call Centre Performance Optimisation
There are many performance measurements that can be used to gauge the efficiency and effectiveness of a call centre operation. Some measure overall call centre performance and others focus on the individual employee. DSG will help you monitor service levels and provide solutions to ensure you get the best possible business outcomes from your call centre.
Relationship Management
Taking a proactive approach to existing customers is crucial to prevent customers moving to competitors. DSG can help you tailor loyalty programmes to meet the different type of customer needs. This information can also feed into acquisition campaigns so that existing customers are maintained alongside newly acquired customers.
Stakeholder Management
Stakeholder Management supports an organisation’s objectives and can influence both the external and internal environments. DSG can help you disseminate business information to all stakeholders ensuring expectations are effectively managed.
Project Management
Quality Management
Quality is everyone’s responsibility but is an overused term that can easily get lost in translation. DSG will put in place processes to ensure all stakeholders understand what is meant by quality so that expectations can be agreed and managed and customer quality satisfaction assured.
Communication Management
Good communication management underpins all aspects of your business. Streamlined and effective communication increases business transparency and encourages the practice of good communication.
Configuration Management
Any issues that have the potential to impact the project’s performance targets of time, cost, quality, scope, risk and benefits are carefully measured and monitored through change management control.
Risk Management
Every project has associated risks. As part of our commitment to our clients DSG identify, assess and mitigate potential risks using the PRINCE 2 Project Management framework.
