Analytics Leverage Matrix
To categorise a large number of opportunities identified in the opportunity matrix and to reduce this to a working list of potential projects
The leverage matrix is created by considering two dimensions, i.e., perceived difficulty and potential for value creation. Together, they give four quadrants:
Quick wins: These are high-value areas where analytics can be applied to create value with relative ease (e.g., using technologies and techniques that are tried and tested)
Major projects: These are also high-value areas, but they are considered more difficult to achieve
Fill-ins: These are lower-value projects, but as they are not considered to be difficult to implement, they may still merit inclusion
Hard slogs: As these analytics projects are likely to be low in value and difficult to achieve, they are best avoided
Analytics Leverage Matrix Example GoGet
Quick wins: Building a predictive model to identify customers at high risk of causing vehicle damage
Major projects: Modelling customer lifetime value (a key part of managing customer loyalty and revenue generation)
Fill-ins: Predictive modelling of performance of technology platform (but not currently a business priority)
Hard slogs: Optimizing the fleet through simulation models
