...Accenture Insurance Reaping the Benefits of Analytics Six Ways to Make Your Business Intelligence Smarter 1 Gartner research shows that many insurers are still struggling to achieve a 360-degree view of their customers, and part of the issue they are grappling with is the completeness or the accuracy of the data they have on customers across their various repositories.1 Despite their hefty and increasing investments in data warehouses, architectures, analytics, and business intelligence (BI) platforms, many insurance companies still are not getting the value they want, and need, from their BI initiatives. Over the past 10 years, insurers have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on data warehousing and BI. One of the prime areas for insurer’s IT investments from 2010 to 2011 was in data warehousing; half of the 29 propertycasualty executives surveyed by the Ward Research Center indicated they were budgeting more money to better house their data.2 Despite the focus and investment, insurers saw little change; the same huge, bulky, flat report outputs from the old systems were simply migrated to the new systems. As a result, carrier information remains disjointed, conflicting, slow, and backwards-looking. Executives and managers continue to be overwhelmed by ominous reports. They have a hard time deciphering what the information means relative to business change. They either have too much or too little information, rarely at the point of need, and never with the ability...

(1994) lournal of Advanced Nursing 19, 1024-1031 Curriculum evaluation i nursing education: a review of the literature n Most curriculum evaluations in the literature have been reported by nurse evaluators; aims, criteria and methods are drawn chiefly from sociology, general education or management. There is an absence of studies exploring relevance to national health care need, nurses’ accountability to their clients and outcomes of cumcula. There appears to be much interest in innovatory programmes, students’ experiences and sociological understandings, with some concern for specific aspects of cumcula generally recognized as being problematic. The number of qualitative or mixed methodology studies is compatible with process cumcula and with academic and professional validation.

Improved service quality may increase economic competitiveness. This aim may be achieved by understanding and improving operational processes, identifying problems quickly and systematically, establishing valid and reliable service performance measures and measuring customer satisfaction and other performance outcomes. Moreover, a business or an organization may run a high risk of failure when their service quality improvement programmes and goals are do not clearly defined and quantified. Besides, the measurement of the service quality performance and the response of customers to that performance have to be measured appropriately within any organizations in order to be more effective management of customer service. 2.0 Service Quality 2.1 What is service quality?

Customers perceive services in terms of its quality and how satisfied they are overall with their experiences (Zeithaml, 2000). It can be measured in term customer perception, customer expectation, customer satisfaction, and customer attitude which suggested by Sachdev and Verma (2004). Moreover...

The questionnaire is part of research to rank the online employer branding of the 100 best global brands. Milan, 4 August 2010 – Attracting and retaining the best talent, the core scope of employer branding, has always been one of the main preoccupations of managers operating in boom times as well as in what has been called the Great Recession. Employer branding used to be exclusively an offline activity practiced in many ways including through job fairs, advertising, marketing and internal newsletters. Companies are still passing on the same type of information to current and prospective employees only now they are increasingly doing it through their website. Employer branding is a company’s pitch to current and prospective employees. It is the company’s bid to show why it is a desirable place to work. Good online employer branding is a key step in the drive to getting and keeping top employees, but how should companies confront the process? Job seekers are using the internet, that we know, but how much and what are they looking for?

...Rethinking retail banking growth Effective strategies for increasing revenue by building stronger connections to the post-crisis consumer It’s no secret that revenue growth is one of today’s biggest challenges for the banking industry. Financial services CEOs ranked growth as their number one priority according to The Conference Board CEO Challenge 2011 1 survey . As low interest rates and new regulations strangle traditional sources of riskbased and fee income, many once-attractive customer relationships are generating less revenue, causing some to become unprofitable. Many bank executives are finding that the old tried-and-true strategies for organic market share and revenue growth are not sufficient anymore. Competing based on pricing, convenience, and service is still fundamental, but more is required. The financial crisis created a trio of retail banking giants with approximately 30 percent combined market share and more than 18,300 branch locations – but even with their vast scale; they are also struggling to grow organically. On the product side, retail deposits have significantly diminished attractiveness in today’s low interest rate environment. Even when banks succeed in attracting new deposit relationships, there are few profitable ways to reinvest those assets in today’s loan environment. Mortgage lending has dropped to the lowest levels in a decade, and new fee and rate constraints on overdrafts and credit cards, along with consumer debt reduction, have silenced...
