Viewpoint paper | Improve contact centers

Contact centers are the crucial touch point in CRM. To win additional customers and market share, they must provide superior service while delivering measurable business value at low cost.

Optimize operational processesIs your contact center performing in ways that maximize profitability and market share for your business? Sharply reducing costs, improving productivity, ensuring employee satisfaction, and mitigating risk are all important success factors. The ultimate goal, though, is to delight your customers—and win more of them as a result. Yet in today’s environment, these goals seem to compete with each other. Employees fear layoffs, offshoring, and frozen salaries; managers face increasing client expectations with diminishing resources and budgets.

To meet their objectives, contact center organizations have focused primarily on customer delivery processes such as handling customer requests and initiating contacts. Through work with clients, HP has discovered that another area—operational processes— demands equal attention. These processes often are twice as numerous as delivery processes, and have a significant impact on the business. In fact, operational processes are the “infrastructure” that supports the business, client care, and customer delight.

Specifically, it’s crucial to ensure that the same operational processes and tools are used within individual contact centers and across all sites. By implementing globally consistent delivery environments—and clearly measuring processes quantitatively and qualitatively—you can achieve your goals.

Review operational processesHP divides operational processes and associated measures into four categories: planning, employee retention and growth, operations management, and customer contact management. As shown in Figure 1, these categories drive one another as a cycle.

Maximize profitability and market share:

• Reduce costs

• Improve productivity

• Ensure employee satisfaction

• Mitigate risks

Operational processes include:

• Planning

• Employee retention and growth

• Operations management

• Customer contact management

Within each category, there are a series of specific linked processes with associated tasks and steps that should be defined and managed as an integrated set. Investing the time to identify the tasks and steps within each category, and connecting or driving performance measures from the tasks and steps, provides the power of full optimization.

Understand best-practices linkage Figure 2 depicts how to link operational processes—support and customer delivery— to achieve “top-box” performance with low cost and risk. It shows, at a high level, how a successful contact center functions.

By formalizing, documenting, and optimizing operational processes through this model, HP has discovered the key to creating successful contact centers that focus on operating within budgetary allocations while ensuring employee care. Top-box customer service is still the primary driver for success, and the idea is that satisfied employees satisfy their clients.

The processes shown in the model should be a starting point for every contact center. The model is not “one size fits all.” Industry and business needs may drive fewer or additional processes.

Review the processesIn today’s marketplace, it is critical to deploy consistent business practices across all operations to maintain a high-performing environment. By using a vendor who is certified as using enterprise-wide gold standards practices, you can be sure best-practice contact center processes are used to address operational areas that may vary by region, country, or client.

Following are detailed descriptions of four main categories of contact center operational processes. Each category includes definitions of the related processes and the benefits you can receive by optimizing them.

Contact center planningBased on our experience, organizations can realize significant cost reductions—potentially up to 40%—by optimizing contact center planning. While reducing costs, the processes listed in table 1 can also yield improvements in service levels and your ability to support company growth in terms of new products and services, and entry into new markets.

Make it happenAs shown in Figure 3, HP recommends a structured, three-stage approach for optimizing operational processes. This approach provides the flexibility for organizations to adjust procedure tasks and steps based on local laws and regulations or contractual deliverables. Most importantly, it enables your contact center to achieve a culture of high performance while controlling costs.

The following steps will ensure a successful build out of your optimization project or process:

• Ensure the organization’s commitment by obtaining an executive sponsor

• Conduct a business needs analysis involving stakeholders and those who will be responsible for improvement in business results

• Identify processes to be redesigned

• Build and manage a communications plan

• Identify process owners and subject-matter experts

• Agree on metrics and a baseline current state

• Prioritize processes to build a development plan based on these factors:

– Cost reduction and attrition reduction goals

– Corporate priorities

– Process complexity

– Policy and risk complexity

– Infrastructure issues

– Internal and external vendor capabilities, for example, training department or training vendor

– Cultural issues

• Identify key improvement areas

• Conduct best-practices and competitive-practices research

• Redesign and/or reengineer prioritized processes based on best/competitive practices

• Obtain appropriate approvals—for example, employee relations, works councils, legal, human resources, and business leaders/stakeholders

• Conduct gap analysis from approved, redesigned processes and current state

• Build a transition plan, focusing on gaps and organizational change-management activities

• Implement new processes with a strong training and communications program

• Measure change and identify barriers to success

• Remove barriers to success

• Ensure mandatory yearly audits to verify compliance

Understand size and scopeAll contact centers, regardless of size or number of sites, should focus on optimizing the operational processes discussed. The center’s relative size and complexity do, however, help determine how long the optimization project takes and what resources are required.

In most cases, a single-site, single-customer, single- language contact center can complete the job in only three to six months and with two to six dedicated resources. A multiple-site environment that supports many customers and languages might need more than nine months and 10 to 20 resources. In all cases, project duration depends, in part, on contact center readiness—how optimized the site currently is and how ready the contact center team is to embrace change.

Review the challengesChallenges fall into three categories—people, processes, and technologies. The most challenging aspect of any project is managing people through change. People challenges include:

• Resistance to change

• Lack of sponsorship for change

• Backlash to a command-and-control approach

• Lack of compliance to change

• Undefined or poorly defined accountabilities to implement change

• Inappropriate depth and breadth of communications

• Difficulty obtaining commitment to change from the contact center senior leadership to the supervisor

• Difficulty obtaining commitment from stakeholders to maintain and sustain the processes

Process challenges include:

• Lack of formally documented and defined processes

• Undefined or poorly defined accountabilities to implement processes

• Overcommitted or unavailable process owners and subject-matter experts

Viewpoint paper | Improve contact centers

Challenges include:

• People

• Processes

• Technologies

Page 12: Viewpoint paper Improve contact centers...Viewpoint paper | Improve contact centers Employee retention and growth Attrition rates of 40% to 90% per year make retaining and developing

10

Technology challenges include:

• Lack of systems and tools to support the processes

• Lack of skills to develop appropriate systems and tools

• Inadequate time to train and test people on using new tools

To manage these challenges effectively, it is essential to ensure rigorous organizational change-management and project-management practices are in place and followed.

Assess the technologyTechnology should enable the business to meet its needs and support the redesigned business processes. Just as people are obligated to spend time and money maintaining a new car engine to ensure a longer, more efficient life, so too are companies obligated to invest resources to improve and maintain “life blood” processes that sustain business operations.

There are numerous software programs and vendors that support a majority of the operational processes. Organizations need to determine their pain points, the amount of supporting technology they can afford, and their highest-priority items.

One of the biggest impacts can come from a workforce management system. Automating many aspects of workforce management—such as forecasting, planning, and scheduling components (with shift allocations)—significantly reduces manual errors and time to reforecast. Other technology options include quality assurance and scorecard-evaluating software, and systems that support the appropriate training and education environment.

Each organization should evaluate its needs, priorities, and budget allocations. This evaluation will help determine which supporting tools and technology to invest in first.

Enjoy the resultsResearch has demonstrated the significant quantifiable and qualitative benefits of moving to rigorous, standardized, and optimized operational processes. The experience of HP shows that full optimization of workforce management and contact center planning processes can incrementally reduce contact center costs by up to 25%. We have also found that high attrition (the primary burden on almost all contact centers) can be reduced to best-in-class numbers—if all these operational processes are implemented and managed.

Implementing these processes can yield:

• Improved customer satisfaction

• Increased work force productivity

• Reduced operational costs and risk

• Reduced negative or unwanted attrition

• Reduced shrinkage—vacations, holidays, training time

• Increased revenue

Indirect results include:

• Motivated, skilled work force

• Improved planned attrition

• Improved client satisfaction

• Improved employee satisfaction

Table 5 lists several scenarios your business may face with its current operational process model—and the results you can gain by moving through partial to full optimization.

Figure 4 depicts the cost elements and related objectives that drive the need for process optimization—and the performance-improvement goals you can achieve after the transformation is complete.

Achieve excellence, profitabilityTo achieve operational excellence and maximize profitability, a contact center business depends on its people to function as a single team focused on a common goal. This requires consistent performance by each individual and site. Implementing an operational process model ensures consistency and “institutionalized excellence” in customer delight, employee satisfaction, and productivity, which, in turn, drive profits.
