Introducing a CTQ Tree

A CTQ Tree builds on a foundation starting with identifying the Voices and building to identify Causal Factors.

There are 4 components of a CTQ Tree…

Critical to Quality (CTQ)

Causal Factors

Voices

Requirements

CTQ Trees are used to accomplish the following:

 Define your key performance metrics  Define input metrics and/or processes  Map the relationships between input and output metrics

Defining Voices

The important first step is to understand how we define voices of the busines.

A “voice” is:

What are business voices?

 A key stakeholder  An entity that wants/requires input into the center

 The Customer (the end user)  Executives  Employees  Finance  Board of Directors  The Market  Investors

 The Process  The Industry

Identifying Requirements of Voices

To translate a voice, begin with “Voice of…”

How can we listen to these voices?

A “requirement” is:

The Customer (the end user)

 What a voice requires of our center; their expectations

Executives

Employees

 To identify a requirement for a voice, we need to “listen” to what the voice tells us

Finance

The Market

The Process

The Industry

Characteristics of CTQ

CTQ characteristics help us to identify metrics of focus for our voices and requirements.

Characteristics of CTQ:

A “CTQ” metric is:

 Must be measurable

 Must be an OUTPUT metric

The single most relevant metric to measure a voice’s requirement

 Must have a target

 Must link to a

voice’s requirements

Characteristics of Causal Factors

Causal Factor characteristics help us to identify what influences the outcome of the CTQ Metric.

A “Causal Factor” in a contact center is:

Characteristics of a Causal Factor:

 Must be measurable

A metric that measures the input processes to a CTQ

 Must be an INPUT metric

 Must have a target

 Must link to a CTQ

Applying The Kano Model

The Kano Model is a prioritization analysis designed to help customer service teams prioritize improvement initiatives and KP I’s (Key Performance Indicators).

KANO Model applied to CTQ’s:

 Classify your metrics into 3 categories

 Identify the metrics that should be

continuously improved compared to those that need to achieve a minimum threshold

 Identify metrics that should have 1 target or 2 targets

16

 Do metrics have

▪ 1 target

▪ 2 targets

▪ Or many targets?

 Do all metrics need to improve all the time?

Implementing a run chart Insite best practices.

Execute the following steps and best practices to implement a Run Chart for your contact center metrics:

Format the data along a time scale • It is best to have 20+ data points • When working with a monthly scale, 12 data points is acceptable-24 is preferred

Initiate the Run Chart tool & follow the steps

Insert a descriptive title

Insert descriptive labels for the x and y axis

25

Implementing a run chart continued Insite best practices.

Define the y-scale a) Define a significant performance change for a specific metric – the following are benchmarks for a typical department • Service Level: 5% • Critical Error Accuracy: 1% to 2% • Customer Satisfaction: Link to Precision/Confidence Interval

Insert the target(s) There are 3 methods to insert a target: • Drawing a line • Drawing a box (only when there are 2 targets) • Insert a series for the target

Define the direction of “good” performance

Insert a linear trend line (if appropriate)

b) Set the “major unit” – the increment width – to the

percentage identified in “step a” c) Modify the minimum & maximum to display 9 to 11 increments

Answering run chart questions What are your answers?

R U N C H A R T A N A L Y T I C S

The following are Insite’s Analytics Questions

What % of the time is the target achieved? • Good performance is 75% or greater

How much variation exists between data points? • Low variation is when 75% of the data points do not have “significant” performance changes

What is the trend (getting better, flat, getting worse)? • In some cases, inserting a trend line can assist with interpreting the trend – only do this when the metric is “More is Better”

Are there any special causes?

Why Monitor Agents?

The Importance of Monitoring We have been learning how to analyze data, in order to more effectively diagnose where we may have process breaks that could be impacting the business. But what now? We need to roll up our sleeves to start monitoring agents. By monitoring agents we identify good and bad behaviors that we can acknowledge appropriately.

Why is monitoring agents so important ?

By monitoring you will be able pinpoint process breaks

Uncover opportunities for improvement in

Document processes as they are happening to uncover gaps

Ensure tools are being used properly

training, systems, process etc.

Understanding Variation Understanding Variation Reducing variation is important to improve performance. In order to reduce variation, we must understand:

At first glance it seems we hit our target. This is an example of a process that is centered around the target, but very seldom meets the requirements of the customer.

Here is an example of a process that has results well grouped together. But is well off target from hitting the customer expectation.

This displays a process that is centered and is within the tolerance of the customer’s requirements. This is where we want all our processes to be.

Use daily huddles to keep everyone engaged Scheduling daily team huddles will keep your team connected and working toward your organizations KPI’s. Connection to leader s and peers, when working from home, is critical to maintaining performance and keeping everyone focused on the areas that matter the most.

Important updates and KPI review: Share updates and changes to policies. Also spend time reviewing KPI successes and opportunities. This is a good time to have the team collaborate on best practices. Take time to connect: Spend some time on nonwork related topics. This will develop relationships and set the tone for the rest of the meeting

Use video: When possible, use video during the meeting. This will help the team to connect more fully. This gives you the ability to pickup on facial expressions and body language.

Q&A: Ending the huddle with a question and answer session will ensure that everyone is on the same page.

Team meeting agenda templates help to drive message consistency Setting an agenda for the team meetings will bring structure and direction to the interaction. Ultimately, it will keep the focus on the most important goals and lead to successful results. Be sure to send the final form to team members and your leadership after the meeting.

Team Meeting Agenda: • Performance should be focused on the most critical KPI’s. Limited to 3 allows the agents to remain focused on what’s most essential. • Focus areas and tips should be specific and impact the aforementioned KPI’s. • Observations - can be sourced from areas such

as quality observations or CSP phone behaviors. These can also be positive

• Team lessons learned can be requested ahead of time or asked during the team meeting and typed out in real time in front of the group. • Recognition - can be for big or small accomplishments

54

There are several activities that leadership can enact to help drive core KPI’s Leading your team in an at home environment will create new challenges. Being intentional about implementing effective behaviors will lead to a cohesive team and, ultimately, successful results.

Schedule coaching sessions, evaluation time, and team meetings in advance.

Maintain a schedule

Ensure that CSPs can reach out during stressful customer interaction. For especially rough calls, debrief with the agent after the interaction.

CSP frustration outlets

Establish and utilize chat rooms to connect with the team. Team chat rooms also facilitate peer collaboration and best practice sharing..

Team chat rooms

Help agents break goals down to basic components to ensure understanding and success

Establish a clear path for success

Prioritize activities that will have the largest impact on the KPI’s that need the most attention.

Prioritize activities

Reward top performers to keep motivation high in the new at home environment. Call out great customer interactions to the team or have contests throughout the day

Incent great work

55

Setup daily success plans to drive transparency and communication When leading in the work at home environment, creating daily accountability around tasks will lead to success. Maintaining a daily success plan will limit distractions and create the proper focus on the most important tasks. Success plans align leaders and CSPs so that they are working together to achieve impactful results.

Daily reporting Establish email reporting checkpoints at the end of each day. CSPs should report daily on accomplishments, challenges, and next steps. Supervisors should also send a report to their manager outlining the same areas at the team level. This is a good time to call out challenges or success with specific individuals. Validate understanding At the beginning of each week review the goals with the agents to finalize the plan. Validate that they are realistic and discuss specific plans for achieving them. Adjust as needed As goals are reported on leaders and team members should work together to adjust as needed.

Re-assess processes and fine tune based on needs

With the changes in a work at home environment, processes may need to be modified to accommodate remote work. Discussing foreseeable challenges and changes with your team helps the transition go smoothly.

Quality: • What changes are being made for the at home environment? • Example: quality form changes to factor in things like background noise? CSP support: • Planning is needed to ensure that CSPs get questions answered and stay connected with the team • Update training modified to account distance learning Escalated contacts: • Are there modifications needed for the customer escalation process? Real time management of queues: • Adjustments will be needed for checking on and providing assistance for long call • Recruiting overtime or approving time off will be different

HR processes: • Logistics of participating in unemployment hearings

Providing agents with an avenue for peer communication helps keep teamwork strong Because agents lose the ability to communicate in-person, they need other ways to connect. Consistent peer communication facilitates the sharing of ideas and best practices.

Peer communication Setting up a communication channel allows CSPs to ask questions and provide ideas on how to be successful when working from home.

• Establish a chat room specifically for CSP communication

• It might be helpful to have a channel for business conversation and another one for non-business team commination

• Invite ‘Real Time Analysts’ to the room to help with activity callouts

• Supervisors can use the room for public recognition • Keep in mind, not all CSPs prefer their recognition to be public

Constant attention to real time management is critical to drive productivity Traditional queue monitoring processes need to be modified in an at home environments. Maintaining consistent vigilance of the queue becomes even more critical when your workforce is not localized in the same building.

Queue monitoring considerations • Communicate without taking the “standing over the shoulder” approach • Establish thresholds to check on long calls • Utilize chat to reach out to see if any assistance is needed • Establish a clear call escalation path • Make allowances for a ‘time out’ after a difficult call • Have an escalation process in place for agents that are unresponsive • Have a logout process for agents that leave themselves logged into the queue Real-time adjustments to staffing • Overtime recruiting • Don’t make the mistake of assuming that because people are working from home, they are always available for OT • Work with the team to create an OT availability schedule for each person • Time-off during availability • Make offers based on need, agents may be more willing to be flexible with adjusting shifts in at home environments • Have a plan for split shifts if needed • Avoid continuously relying on the same employees

Identifying outliers allows you to know where to put focus Here are some principles used to identify outliers.

Keep the following things in mind:

Average/Mean – Most common output type but can be susceptible to limited results causing a skew in results

Median - The middle value of observations arranged in order of magnitude. Particularly helpful with quartile reporting.

Mode - The most frequently occurring value in a data set. Helpful to know where most performance is grouped

Range - The distance from the lowest data point to the highest data point. Best when used in tandem with the other methods.

Potential outliers
