It's all about the customer(s): centricity, valuation, metrics, management. I teach this stuff at Wharton and bring it to life through Theta.
I was looking at old pictures of my daughter and saw
Superman on Penn's campus (Fall 1998). No, not the kid with the S shirt, but just to his left -- that face over Ben Franklin's shoulder is David Corenswet, who attended Penn in 2011-12. (Shayna is in the light green shirt to the right.)

New paper (doi.org/10.1016/j.da...) shows how a simple probability model (PM) outperforms a machine learning model (ML). PM is the old BG/NBD model -- the differences would be huge with CLV Ultra from Theta (thetaclv.com/clv-ultra/), which embeds key ML characteristics directly into the PM.

Anyone knows my #CustomerLifetimeValue modeling work will appreciate the surprise in today's @nytimes.com Spelling Bee. Let's see who can get it first!

I can't tell if this is horrible clickbait or super interesting. Or maybe both!

Wonderful to be at the @greatbrandsshow by @ConsensusAdviso. Eager to meet lots of interesting new people/brands and to catch up with familiar ones as well. Let me know if you're here: let's say hi or catch up!

Hey @Wharton and @Penn alums: check out the new lobby in Huntsman Hall near the Locust entrance. It's beautiful and totally fixes the bottleneck we used to experience when entering/exiting the building between classes. Progress!

My final exams are always pretty tough, but giving one on a Saturday in August is truly #CruelAndUnusualPunishment. Sorry, @wharton exec MBA students -- I owe you one...

This new building at @Penn won't open for a few more months, but once the name goes up it's a real thing in my eyes!

I know that my course can cause my students' heads to explode, but I didn't realize it could impact their cars as well. This is what happened to @StephenValand before class last week.

Born and raised on Long Island NY but never been to Orient Point until today. (Still haven't been to the Hamptons either.)

. @Wharton is lucky to have @ConnorBarwin98 as an alum, but even luckier because he continues to stay deeply involved with the school.

I gave a new talk on "Quantifying the Qualitative" at @Wharton Alumni Weekend. First opportunity I've had to combine my work on customer valuation (@ThetaCLV) and incentive-compatible peer assessment (Incompass Labs). Great to see so much interest in the topic!
