Aberdonian Iain Anderson began his career working as a journalist for the Courier and the Herald before becoming a founding shareholder of Incisive Media, a B2B publishing company that has evolved into digital media and events. It was a wise move as his shareholding grew considerably due to a subsequent sale and flotation. That enabled him to found Cicero Group, which rapidly established a reputation as the market leader in financial sector lobbying. As a result he and his team have helped numerous big blue chip clients navigate change – and major events such as the global banking crisis, the Scottish independence referendum, Brexit and, of course, the pandemic crisis. He has also been an advisor to Kenneth Clarke MP, is a non-executive director of St Andrews University and, shortly before our interview, was unveiled as the Government's first ever LGBT Champion. As you'd expect from a masterful communicator, Iain is wonderful to listen to as he explores some of the milestones in his career and explains why he's watched All The President's Men 30 times. The interview was recorded on 21 September 2021, at the first ever Scottish Business Network hybrid event, comprising myself and Iain with an online audience, brought together with two physical audiences in Glasgow and London. www.allencomms.co.uk

Soon after working at an American communications agency, he would launch his own project, The Cicero Group, which has grown to serve clients across the European Union.With all this talent under his belt, Anderson decided to write a book, a reflection on Brexit politics called F**K Business: The Business of Brexit, which described the disintegrating relationship between businesses and politicians.

Welcome to the 2019 Predictive Analytics World (PAW) Conference Series. Recorded live in Las Vegas, this series is bringing interviews straight to you from exhibitors and speakers at this year’s event. In this interview, host Jamin Brazil interviews Lawrence Cowan, Senior Partner and COO of Cicero Group. Find Lawrence Online: Email: lcowan@cicerogroup.com LinkedIn Cicero Group [00:02] Hi, I’m Jamin.  You’re listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast.  My guest today is Lawrence. He is a partner at Cicero Group.  We are live at Predictive Analytics World, Marketing Analytics World.  There’s eight worlds. I forget all the worlds, but we’re covering a gamut of health care, etc. etc.  Welcome to the show, Lawrence. [00:21]   Thanks, appreciate it.  Thanks for having me. [00:22]   Yeah, of course.  You guys are exhibiting here. [00:25]   We are. [00:25]   What do you think about the show? [00:27] It’s been a great experience so far.  I’ve been to three or four of these, and they get larger every year.  I think the organizers do a great job putting on the event. And the topics continue to expand as well.  So far, our interactions with the audience have been very engaging: great questions, hard questions. But we’ve enjoyed it so far.   [00:50] That’s great.  So, tell me a little bit about Cicero group.  What do you guys do? [00:53]    You bet.  So, Cicero Group is a full-service management consulting company.  We emphasize in data analytics and data strategy. Our roots were actually in market research.  And so, we identified the value of data early on in the strategic projects we were working on. And so, we leveraged primary market research in a lot of our work and have continued to expand that into more strategic transformation strategy, advanced analytics work as well. [01:24] That’s great.  One of the terms I’ve been hearing recently at this conference (I’ve never heard it before) is data diversity.  And I think that you’re hitting on that exact point, right? It’s about the primary data that’s collected and then really trying to triangulate truth even though sometimes it’s a lot more than three points. [01:42]   It really is.  Yeah, so, bringing new data to the table is critical in all the projects we work on.  Primary research happens to be a big one but, again, a lot of the topics people are talking about at the conference today are other sources of data:  secondary data, partner data. There’s so many opportunities with leveraging data these days.     [02:04] Got it.  Talk to me about who an ideal customer is. [02:07]  That’s a great question.  So, we serve a broad spectrum of industries and business functions.  I think our sweet spot, I would say, is more in the sales and marketing and insights and analytics functions within organizations.  And if you look at the services we’re offering, I think there’s a lot of value being provided to organizations that have RN-subscription-type businesses whether that’s SAS or even in B-to-C subscription-type businesses because our expertise is really in understanding the customer journey and finding those opportunities across the customer journey to improve that experience. [02:46] Do you have a favorite customer story? [02:48] That’s a great question.  There’s a lot, but one that comes to mind...  This one is actually from a few years back. One of our large clients a few years back was Groupon.  This was pre-IPO days. [03:00]     I actually worked with them pre-IPO days.    [03:03] Oh, you did.  Maybe we crossed paths.  You never know, yeah. So, at that time, Groupon didn’t have an insights function.  And so, we were brought in through a partnership to help them set up their customer and merchant feedback system globally.  I’m going to forget the number of countries and languages, but it was in the 20s and 30s of countries and languages that we designed their ...

Jacob Allen is the partner with Cicero Group who manages the social impact practice, Cicero Social Impact. The firm, with 70 consultants and nearly 200 analysts, seeks to compete with Bain and McKinsey. The impact practice serves national and international impact organizations, including the George W. Bush Institute and the Clinton Foundation, along with the Prudential Foundation, United Way and Mary’s Meals. [Jump to page 2 to watch the live interview.] Allen shared three tips for having greater impact with me. First, he notes, “To change the world, good intentions and lots of activity are not enough.” Allen’s insights come from 15 years of impact experience, including work with Goldman Sachs, the Alzheimer’s Association and the Nature Conservancy, among others. Tip 1: Do your homework: Allen explains why preparation and strategy are so important as starting points. “Before launching a new social service or program, do more homework than you think you’ll need. Do research to understand what your clients or communities really need and value. Be deliberate about specifying the change in their lives or in society that you’ll hold yourself accountable for. Identify all the things that are required for that change to occur. Then step back and ask what role you’ll play and whether it will be enough to truly make a difference.” Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://onforb.es/1pIjkCm.
