Abstract:

Using the example of a research project for the CSOB, a leading Czech bank, this presentation demonstrates how a research assignment can be turned into a highly useful, multi-purpose tool benefiting both the client and the bank's customer. Results delivered by conjoint analysis on the bank's personal banking product portfolio were used to develop an educative online game that simulates a sales communication of bank representatives with their customers. As an innovative concept for training the sales force, the game was eventually merged into CSOB’s internal education system.
