Risk management
Risk Management is at the core of any organization. It has been a big differentiator between high performing and low performing organizations. Success of any risk management system lies in understanding the riskiness of the portfolio, its sources and then managing risk accordingly. Risk Management does not necessarily mean risk avoidance but means taking risks that organizations can handle effectively and where commensurate rewards are available for the risks taken.
At i3 Consulting, our Risk professionals will help organizations in three broad areas:
a) Customer life cycle management - Organizations face challenges in measuring risk of their customers throughout their life cycle. i3 Consulting has a team of professionals who work closely with the organizations to not only assess risk of customers but also develop sound acquisition and account management.
· Customer Acquisition (Rating models/credit score for customers/rating models for facility/pricing models/underwriting models/forecasted expected NPV of applicant)
· Account Management (Behaviour rating model/facility renewal rating)
· Collections( Behavioural segmentation of customers/risk segmentation of customers/predict recovery amount/segment debt consolidators)
b) Corporate strategies - One of the biggest challenges for corporates is to take decision under uncertainty. They are also faced with showing consistent business results and removing volatility from the cash flows. i3 Consulting too does not have the crystal ball that can remove uncertainty, however the team can work closely with the corporates to identify sources of uncertainty and also assess the potential outcome based on different decision making scenarios to make decision making more informed.
c) Reporting and dashboard creation - Any sound risk management system can work only if is tracked and monitored well. Key to achieving this is creating a Management Information System that captures all the necessary components from Management's perspective. Majority of the banks have a well defined MIS system and huge IT infrastructure to support it. Limitation in existing systems is lack of right metrices and framework that can ensure integrated view of the whole portfolio. i3 Consulting has a team of experienced professionals who specialize in conducting diagnostics of existing systems and can design and maintain MIS on an ongoing basis.

· Strategy tracking dashboards
· Campaign management dashboards
· Integrated portfolio view

i3 Consulting delivers to its clients using the following tools:
a) Customer insights - For brand success of any company it is imperative to understand the customers. Our experienced professionals at i3 Consulting can help clients identify what are the different kind of customers that exist in the market or within the company and how to best understand their behaviour and preferences. Identifying and understanding the existing segment can help clients:
· Customize its offerings to it’s customers
· Cross sell its products
· Optimize its strategies for best results
b) Marketing Segmentation - For a client in a specific industry it is interesting to see where it is positioned in the industry at large and specifically to identify and understand it’s peer set. This helps a company to build on it’s strength and work on it’s weakness appropriately. The key to this lies in understanding your market . A correct assessment of the market gives the client a better picture of what are the different categories of players within its industry as well as which companies fall in it’s peer set. A detailed profiling of the peers and competitors can then enable the client to evaluate where it is gaining or losing compared to others
c) Tools and models to support marketing actions - i3 Consulting can also help clients analyze their performance or take strategic decision by creating user friendly models. These models can be custom created depending on the need and the business problem. The following are examples of models that can benefit a company:
· Allocation model: Retail chains often face problem in allocating their resources and deciding on the correct level of inventory. An allocation model can help them optimize allocation and decide the ideal level of inventory
· Promotional effectiveness model: A promotional effectiveness model can help clients analyze the performance of products on promotions as well as understand cannibalization effect of promotions. This helps in optimizing the products for promotion as well as plan better for future promotional campaigns.
