AGENDA. Transforming into impact. Case Study - How to deploy agents based on science. Lessons learnt
> TRANSFORMING DATA INTO IMPACT Mobile Money operators are sitting on a gold mine that can be leveraged to grow CDR, transactional, agent registration forms and KYC users forms are extremely valuable that can be analysed to gain granular market knowledge Using to expand mobile money services: Commercial strategy - where to grow? Agent management how to win? Fraud / risk what suspicious transaction exist?
AGENDA. Transforming into impact. Case Study - How to deploy agents based on science. What is it and how is it structured?. How to build it. Lessons learnt
> HOW TO DEPLOY AGENTS BASED ON SCIENCE > CONTEXT The go-to-market tool has initially been developed to help mobile money operator design successful agent network. The methodology can be used to answer several other questions What? How to design a successful agent network? How many agents are required by BTS Where? The project was conducted in two countries: Chad Mali How? Developed a geo-marketing go-to-market tool, based on -analytics The output of the project is a tool that can be developed by nonspecialist, which is easy to use, flexible, software agnostic 5
> HOW TO DEPLOY AGENTS BASED ON SCIENCE > THE GTM TOOL > WHAT IS IT AND HOW IS IT STRUCTURED? The output of the project is an easy to use, flexible, software agnostic tool that can be developed by non-specialist The same can be analysed on maps or on an Excel tool Interactive maps Data file 6

. THE GTM TOOL > HOW TO BUILD IT > OVERVIEW The Go-to-market tool can be developed using internal & open-source external, by a small team, in - weeks and at an affordable cost Data Team & Skills Time Cost Mix of internal & opensource external Country macro-, Transactional, Telco CDR, BTS location, Agent s profile, Etc. Team business / marketing technical / Bus. Intell. Skills Basic/intermediate Python, SQL, GIS - weeks of work by the dedicated team can be enough to develop the tool Affordable cost CartoDB account: 9$ / month Powerful computer Team salary 8

. THE GTM TOOL > HOW TO BUILD IT > ANALYSE DATA A very large range of KPI can be calculated, based on the team s need Collect Format Analyse Visualise Market penetration = Number of active mobile money users in an administrative area Official population in the same administrative area Competition intensity = Number of active mobile money users in an administrative area Number of mobile money agents in the same administrative areas Usage = By cross-referencing cash-in, cash-out, PP, merchant payment, etc. with context-specific figures, such as the presence of economic hotspots, mines, oil fields, migration routes, distance to main cities, border crossings, etc., Others = The range of KPI that can be calculated is very wide 8

. FORWARD LOOKING No need to be Google to do analytics Start with asking what are the key strategic questions, not what could be the best tool to use Big analytics should be lead by the business, not the opposite It doesn t require strong investments nor top level specialists As the business and KPIs evolve quickly, your approach must remain flexible 5
