how are we doing in three key areas...

Creatingself-correcting

organisations.

"All is connected ... no one thing can change by itself."

— Paul Hawken

“Slowness to change usually means fear of the new” – Philip Crosby

“Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate what they may gain by giving that up” – Belasco & Stayer

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got” – Henry Ford

V.O.C: a powerful first building block for your self-correcting organisation.

Build a real-time solution enabling you to not just measure C-SAT, but drive it!

ON 4 LEVELS


Level 2: Clued up and focused team leaders.

Make it accountable

NP

S

Advisor engagement

Focus where it matters the most


Level 3: Centre managers driving relevant KPIs.

Measuring metrics in parallel with general

satisfaction (or NPS), will tell you what affects

satisfaction the most.


How do we drive change in the rest of your organisation?

Contact Centre

Marketing

Product Dev.

Logistics

Anti churn team

Web

CEO

Current top gripes

Top negative customer comments

Resolution Broken processes Lack of knowledge Service quality Third party agreements Broken promises No empowerment

Timeliness Transfers Queue length and info Hold lengths

Systems Personal details wrong Customer history wrong


Verbatim mining and CEO sessions.


Cover the whole customer journey


What about costs?


The power of linking data

Cost per advisor 40k / 270 days = £148 / 90 calls and 60 calls.

cost per call, yet scores higher on CSAT.

Move 500 advisors in red to green = £12M cost saving annually!

Product Knowledge

V.O.C. 2.0: Mix with C-SAT with performance stats

Why does Bob spend 60 seconds longer per call compared to Mary?

And at the same time, customers score Mary’s competence higher!

Engagement (customer)

V.O.C. 2.0: Mix with C-SAT with Employee scores

These team leaders score much higher on ”Recognition” by advisors AND (thus) customers find their advisors much more engaged.
