IBM collects an average of 730,000 surveys from clients on a yearly basis. CAIR (Client Advocacy Insights Robot) is able to filter out 95% of those surveys enabling our Client Advocacy team to focus on those that are potentially relevant to the specific organization for action. A custom-built Artificial Intelligence model was created to deliver this solution. It was custom coded on Python and is hosted on the IBM Cloud. A structured management system was created establishing client advocacy focal points across the organization in order to review and act upon the surveys identified by the AI solution.

cair

1)   The Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine:

The machine uses Natural Language Processing methodologies like dictionaries, text analytics & topic mining. It starts with ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) activity by cleaning and combining the data and then analyzing it based on the defined keyword groups by organization to determine the relevance. It also incorporates sentiment analysis to add an additional component that determines a Survey importance ranking. This enables prioritized review of the cases. This model is enabled for human-in-the-loop methodology meaning that the user’s input on the user interface can be fed back into the model for iterative machine-learning enhancement so that the model can get more and more accurate over time.

 

2)   The User Interface:

The Client Advocacy Team uses a web user interface as their working tool to review, assess, track and update findings and action plans for the surveys under their scope.

 

3)   The Executive Dashboard:

Displays aggregated data visualizations from the data in the user interface. It offers a variety of views showing client insight volumes, splits by organization, top issue tree-maps, word-clouds with the ability to drill down to comment, trends on multiple parameters and specific views of systemic issues. The purpose of the dashboard is to visualize the data and deliver actionable insights to key stakeholders.

 

4)   The Management System:

With the key focus of continuous improvement to close the loop with the clients on all issues, the network of client advocacy focal points across the organization rigorously review all survey comments assigned to their specific area by CAIR. They then perform an in-depth review, leveraging both the Inner (tactical) and Outer (systemic) Loop methodology. Findings and actions are reported via the established governance cadence and shared with relevant stakeholders. Global/Systemic issues are identified and addressed, closing the loop.

New Awards CTA

Here is a real example of CAIR in action: At the end of 2018 an IBM invoices application was sunset and replaced by a different application. This resulted in a spike in the volume of survey comments from clients complaining about multiple issues with the new application. CAIR enabled our team to surface these comments, categorize insights and then immediately act upon the issues through the delivery of multiple enhancements to the new application. The volume of alerts significantly dropped as a result of these actions. CAIR discovered the problem before the sales or technical team responsible for the new invoices system identified it.
