Customer-Centric Business Performance Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current business performance monitoring systems in large enterprises are business unit- or product/service-centric, failing to identify global customer impact trends that can adversely affect customer relationships, leading to delayed corrective actions.
Innovation Solution
A client/customer-centric monitoring system that aggregates performance metrics across all business units and product/service lines to detect business-wide customer impact trends, with automated alerts to relevant entities for proactive corrective actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If business performance monitoring is conducted at business unit or product/service level, then detailed performance tracking is achieved, but global customer impact trends cannot be identified
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges business unit-level performance metrics with global customer perspective by aggregating data across multiple business units and product lines. The system combines detailed operational metrics with customer-level contextual information to identify global impact trends that would otherwise remain hidden in siloed business unit data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension of analysis by introducing customer-level aggregation on top of existing business unit and product line metrics. This dimensional expansion allows the system to view performance through multiple lenses simultaneously - operational detail level and global customer impact level - enabling identification of trends across the entire customer relationship.
2Productivity
If static business unit or product/service level metrics are tracked, then operational performance is monitored, but proactive identification of customer problems is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis by continuously aggregating performance metrics across business units and product lines to identify emerging trends before they escalate into customer problems. The proactive alerting mechanism detects patterns that indicate potential issues, enabling the system to act in advance rather than reacting after problems occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback loops where performance data from multiple business units is continuously collected, analyzed, and fed back to identify global customer impact trends. This feedback mechanism enables the system to learn from aggregated data patterns and trigger proactive responses before customer satisfaction deteriorates.
3Quantity of substance
If business performance is monitored at detailed business unit level, then operational details are captured, but customer-centric global trends are missed
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges detailed business unit performance data with customer-level contextual information to create a comprehensive view of customer impact. By combining quantitative operational metrics with qualitative customer perspective data, the system preserves detailed information while simultaneously identifying global trends.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional monitoring system that simultaneously performs detailed business unit tracking, product line analysis, and global customer impact assessment. The same aggregated data structure serves multiple analytical purposes - operational reporting and customer relationship management - eliminating the need to choose between detail and breadth.

AI summary
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for client/customer-centric macro (e.g., business-wide) monitoring of business performance and determination of business-wide customer impact trends associated with the client's/customer's composite relationship with the business. Additionally, embodiments provide for determining customer impact trends at other levels of the business relationship, such as at business unit/line of business levels, product/service levels and the like. Based on the determined customer impact trends, further determinations may be made regarding whether alerts are warranted based on the trends, and generating and communicating the alerts if warranted. Determining business-wide customer impact trends provides for the business to identify problems or potential problems that may adversely impact the global relationship between the overall client entity and the business implementing the performance monitoring system.
