Analytics in Professional Sports

Identify undervalued attributes


Develop new performance metrics
Know when a player is ready to move up
Use your own selection criteria
Assess the ability to work as part of a
team
Understand risk better than your
competitors
Determine who gets hurt and who gets
tired
Who inspires others to play better?
Who drags down the team?

Analytics Move to Center Stage

"I continue to be amazed at how creative people are leveraging data and information through advanced
analytical methods to achieve new insights and deliver business and scientific results."
Stephen J. Ruberg, PhD Eli Lilly & Company

"In every vertical market, customers, investors and regulators are not satisfied with firms that simply 'keep up.'
They want you to lead - and the only way to do that is through the insightful and innovative use of powerful
analytics."
Thornton May, Anthropologist and Futurist

"It is not my job to have all the answers, but it is my job to ask lots of penetrating, disturbing and occasionally
almost offensive questions as part of the analytic process that leads to insight and refinement.
Gary Loveman, Chairman of the Board,
President and CEO, Harrahs Entertainment

"In business, as in baseball, the question isnt whether or not youll jump into analytics. The question is when.
Do you want to ride the analytics horse to profitability or follow it with a shovel?"
Rob Neyer, Author and Senior Writer, ESPN

By the end of the decade, predictive analytics will go from a differentiator to a must have requirement for
doing business.
MIT Sloan Management Review

Art and Science


Best decision makers will be those who combine the
science of quantitative analysis with the art of sound
reasoning
The art comes from
experience,
judgment, and the
savvy to question and push back on assumptions that
dont make sense

I still occasionally find it useful to look out the window.

Analytics Maturity Model


Health plans today find themselves in various stages of maturity regarding Informatics capability
but are constantly in motion.

Integrated Collaborative Informatics


Integrated data & analytics to create a dialogue with:
Providers: quality of care and evidence-based best practice
measures
Employers: program impact on overall costs and quality,
emerging trends, program optimization
Consumers: health, wellness, financial and clinical information

Humanas Journey
Starting from decentralized, siloed analytics
that typify many payer organizations
Humanas efforts to date to realize analytical
value through an enterprise competency satisfies
the criteria for Stage 3 analytical aspirations.
Humanas subsequent progress toward
establishing that analytical competency at an
enterprise level satisfies a Stage 4 maturity
rating and . . .
positions it well to attain the Stage 5 Analytical
Competitor rating.

Humanas Journey

Humanas relatively quick rise through the maturity model


establishes it as a leader among healthcare payer organizations
most of whom have not formulated comprehensive analytical
aspirations and would fall into a Stage 2 rating on the DavenportHarris maturity model

Unlike Humana, most payers have some localized capabilities but


do not have a holistic analytics strategy.
Most payers also lag Humanas maturity in the data warehousing
space and do not have an enterprise analytics toolkit.
Given the context of most organizations in the payer space,
Humanas quick rise to analytical maturity is all the more apparent,
as is its ability to find competitive differentiation with its deep
analytical capabilities.

The Question?

Should actuaries venture out of the


traditional roles already established for us
and look to fill these Advanced Business

More Reasons Why


These new roles may attract new people to the
profession
Better preparation ensures actuaries do not lose
ground in this area to other professionals
Employers advantages are the high ethics and
rigor actuaries bring to the job
Historical/traditional employers of actuaries
know this
Enhancements will be in continuing education
offerings, not basic education

Definition - Things to consider


In working on our definition of Advanced Business
Analytics the group identified many ideas to be included:

Author Davenport influence


Lifetime (or customer relationship lifetime) vs. transactions Longitudinal
Optimizing opportunities
Opportunity continuum
Business decision making, strategic decision making
Risk and opportunity analytics
Influence future
Different techniques to analyze past vs. what is needed to look
forward
Human side of business, behavioral economics

Advanced Business Analytics


(A working definition)
Advanced Business Analytics for Actuaries is a set of
tools and techniques used to describe, predict, and
recommend business courses of action based on
consumer and distributor behavior
It draws from many disciplines
It relies heavily on vast amounts of data and
computing power, statistics, modeling, optimization,
dashboard and alerts, market research, and clustering
Advanced business analytics provides employers with
insightful decision making and affords the opportunity
to assess a marketplace from a totally new perspective

More Things to Consider


Directional oriented towards
Attracting young people into the actuarial
profession to do interesting work like predictive
analytics
Help actuaries do analytics at a superior level to
statisticians, metricians with historical employers
Success can spill over to related employers. I.e.
Health insurance, consulting, pharmaceuticals

Departing Thoughts
Lots of work left to do to determine if the Society of Actuaries should add
special training, certifications or designations to encourage Actuaries in the
learning of advanced analytics and its techniques.

Me? I want kids coming out of college thinking Actuarial Science is fun and
exciting and will take them down the path to do all of the cool analytics they
are hearing and learning about!

Actuaries are not only smart. We can do amazing things outside of what has
been considered the traditional world of actuarial science. We want to set
ourselves up to make that happen!
