Content Strategy

Page 18: Whats So Smart About Intelligent Content?

When we anticipate users’ needs, we do that through:

• Speaking their language

• Offering valuable “just in time” information

• Semantic search

Content Strategy

Page 19: Whats So Smart About Intelligent Content?

The best practices we discovered for anticipatory design come directly from best practices in experience design and content strategy.

• Focus on context

• Beware over-personalization

• Ensure the user retains ultimate control

Semantic search connects words to meanings

Chosen based on context: time of year and my location.

Google also identified the film that I was looking for.

I searched “movie devil great trick.”

Google was able to complete the quote based off three words, and connect video and text.

Amazon anticipates product searches

Related to history: other items I have previously viewed.

Chosen based on context: time of year and my location.

Personalized: a broader selection of items I may liked based on browsing

Related to history: other items I have previously viewed.

A CASE STUDY

Making the magic happen.

Page 30: Whats So Smart About Intelligent Content?

30@jbriselli | @marsinthestars

The Goal

“We want to be the Amazon of our industry. It’s time to really knock one out

of the park.”

Page 31: Whats So Smart About Intelligent Content?

31@jbriselli | @marsinthestars

Opportunities

• Stakeholders were excited for something new

• Users were actively asking for “Siri, but for insurance”

• Insurance is confusing!

• No one has done it before

Page 32: Whats So Smart About Intelligent Content?

32@jbriselli | @marsinthestars

Constraints

• We had minimal data

• We didn’t have Google’s “black box” or Netflix’s numerous data engineers

• Insurance users worry about how secure their information is; if we over-personalized we risked losing their trust

Project steps

1. Discover what members want. “Anticipate my needs” is a broad realm

2. Synthesize the key scenarios

3. Generate formats and design

4. Focus on the user “actions” (Spreadsheet mania!)

Step 2: Synthesize. Explore the key scenarios

Reasons a member might be on the site:

• They receive an email prompting them to log in & activate their coverage

• They want to know how much something will cost

• They need to refill a prescription

• They need to register a PCP to get a referral

• They got a bill or statement they don’t understand

Step 4: Focus. Collect the member “actions”

An action is:

Something a member does

• Log in

• Update information

• View a claim

• Go to a doctor’s appointment

• Change jobs

Something the organization does

• Process a claim

• Send a bill

• Accept a payment

• Identify upcoming important dates

• Make suggestions

Page 41: Whats So Smart About Intelligent Content?

Find actions by:

• Reviewing analytics

• Brainstorming with the team

• Talking to the dev team

Step 4: Focus. Collect the member “actions”

Step 4: Focus. Collect the member “actions”

Page 43: Whats So Smart About Intelligent Content?

43@jbriselli | @marsinthestars

The Business Rules are defined by:

• All the actions

• What “triggers” (causes) each action to occur?

• The best triggers are the ones we can control or easily access

• Triggers must be recognizable by the system

• Prioritization of each action and each trigger

Step 4: Focus. Collect the member “actions”
