Metrics Catalog Series: Volume 3 - Calculating and Using Resolution Metrics

By: Robert Last

While cost metrics get most of management's attention, it is resolution metrics that get a customer's attention, resulting in analyzing performance metrics. Once a customer connects to a support center, either by telephone or by another contact channel (email, chat or self help), their primary concern is getting a solution to their problem, an answer to their question, or making a request. For each of these actions, the customer has expectations of performance that the business and support organization has to honor. In Volume 3 of the metrics guide series, we will examine the uses of the resolution metrics and how they can be used with the balanced scorecard model.
