Analytics
Advances in Analytics
In the current volatile and dynamic environment, where there is greater pressure on profitable growth and little guidance from the past, it is important to bring to the table innovative analytics. In this webinar, the FICO research and innovation team highlights analytic capabilities that address the problem of targeting the right treatment to the right customers while continuously adapting to both changing consumer behavior and economic conditions. Specific topics include consumer DNA, economic modeling, offer optimization and learning loops.
Cloud Integration
Using cloud resouces enables dynamic allocation of computation resources, which allows the development and deployment of scalable and affordable software solutions. During this webinar, FICO will introduce the combination of an advanced modelling language and a high performance optimisation solver, providing a seamless connection to the cloud.
Leveraging Optimization to Catapult Results
Evaluating trade-offs between risk and reward is a key component for creating successful decision strategies. Small changes in actions at the customer or account level can produce differing reactions that can significantly impact business outcomes, especially when large number accounts are involved. How are you handling the inevitable tradeoffs that arise when multiple predictive models drag your decisions in opposite directions? As problems grow in complexity, advanced solver engines are needed that can tackle large–scale problems. In this webinar, we share our insights on how FICO global banking clients are using analytics and optimization to create strategies that maximize revenue and growth while carefully managing business risk and operating constraints.
Making Big Data and Advanced Analytics Work in Pharma Marketing
Pharmaceutical marketers are grappling with both the exciting potential and daunting challenges associated with Big Data. By focusing on the wealth of data captured from non-personal promotions and inbound and outbound prescriber interactions, marketers can apply advanced analytics to create a 360° view of their customer and deliver relevant, personalized offers. The discussion will include best practices in creating centralized customer data; how to use and analyze interaction data across the brand, franchise or company; how to expand brand marketing programs globally, complying with regional privacy regulations; how to overcome barriers, such as declining access to prescribers and greater regulatory and legislative scrutiny; and how to implement a customer-centric multi-channel approach.
Marketing Analytics: Choosing the Right Approach (Sponsored by DMA)
The focus of this webinar is how marketing teams can increase response rates and revenue by using analytics to make relevant, personalized offers to your customers.

Using real-world case studies, this webinar will show you the analytic techniques and strategies you need to learn and know your customer.
Seven Best Practices for Effective Model Management and Compliance, a BAI webinar, sponsored by FICO
How can you achieve a compliant model management and validation program in your organization? Effectively developing, deploying and managing predictive models grows more complex as their use continues to increase. While these models drive profitable decisions, the often slow, manual process strains limited resources -- resulting in errors, delays and lost profits. An evolving regulatory environment, coupled with limited agency guidance, adds to the complexity. Regulators such as the OCC in the U.S. and the international Basel Committee on Banking Supervision have been issuing more stringent analytic model mandates. These new provisions are designed to improve financial institutions’ chances of long-term viability and success by requiring that existing and new models deliver the maximum predictive power to better manage credit risk. In this complimentary BAI Banking Strategies Webinar, two veterans in predictive modeling help you meet this challenge with best practices, strategies and insights gained from their real-world experience.
Streamlining Segmentation in Predictive Modeling
Whether you’re a novice data miner or an expert predictive modeler, streamlining segmentation in your predictive models can help you create sharper predictions in less time.

A Clear Diagnosis: Managing Predictive Models in a Highly Regulated, Dynamic Economy
The fragile state of the global economy requires that financial institutions’ risk management and capital adequacy be examined more closely now than ever before. And nobody is paying more attention than the regulators. Best practices have been mandated in many forms through country-specific legislation, regulatory agencies, and Basel III. Financial institutions must rigorously document how their predictive models are developed, validated and used, as well as how they perform over time. This webinar focuses on helping you build, improve, and refine your methodologies for achieving regulatory compliance around predictive model development and management while simultaneously spurring growth.

C&R in the Crosshairs: Overcoming Barriers to Collections Success
When the economy bottomed out, it didn’t take long before C&R departments were flooded with delinquencies. Even organizations that had the resources to deal with increased workloads struggled to keep up. In many cases, established collections methods (such as overreliance on power dialers and limited segmentation) backfired as accounts at all delinquency stages were often being treated equally. As banks have refocused their approaches to driving customer-centricity to profit in a new economy, C&R is in their line of sight as a key target for recalibration. This webinar shares real-life stories of banks that identified gaps between their C&R activities and best practices to drive quick wins, and set the stage for longer-term success.

Changing the Customer Experience in the Fraud Notification Space with Self-Service and Mobile Technologies
Paper and voice communications are becoming increasingly ineffective. Consumers don’t read letters and low dialer penetration rates waste time and money. This leads to low response rates, high operational costs and significant delays in case resolution. One reaction has been to add contact channels, which results in customers being bombarded with outbound communications. The high number of false-positive fraud alerts means that the majority of agent time is not spent managing true fraud.

Estimated vs. Verified Income
The champion for capacity assessment is income - or income-based estimates - which are descriptive rather than predictive. Some income measures are based on consumer self-reporting and are not always verified. In addition, income is rarely updated for account management. While income or income-based estimates are useful in rendering decisions, lenders must have a consistent and updated measure available across the account lifecycle to address a wide range of account decisions, such as providing credit line increases. In this webinar, we share how leading banks are dealing with Ability-to-Pay requirements. We'll also provide several approaches to achieving compliance while also ensuring that the solution is effective and profitable. We'll also explore the consumer "opt-in" approach, which may be the key to success.

Introduction to FICO Credit Capacity Index
In recent years, growth initiatives have been extremely difficult for UK lenders. In a weak, uncertain economy, even a modest amount of additional debt can push many consumers—even those with favourable credit profiles—into default. Today, when evaluating consumers for new loans or extensions of credit, lenders must measure repayment risk, and they must take another measure into account: How much credit is too much? That’s why FICO and Equifax are helping UK lenders jump start growth with the combination of solid risk assessment of a consumer’s historical and current obligations—via Equifax’s Risk Navigator Score—and a consumer’s capacity to manage additional obligations—via the new FICO® Credit Capacity Index™. This webinar provides an overview of the new index.

New Strategies to Build Agility into Your Legacy Systems
While IT budgets continue to be highly constrained, organizations continue to devote a high percentage to maintenance of their legacy systems. Unfortunately, the cycle of funding developers to program new code in legacy systems is crippling organizations’ ability to reduce expenditures and achieve agility in their applications.
