Voice of the Client - Contact Journey and Service Friction Review

De-identified review of client contact drivers, service friction, avoidable contacts, and improvement priorities across a large service division.

Service AnalyticsKPI FrameworksSnowflakeSalesforce/PACE

Summary

Directed the design and delivery of a strategic contact journey review for a 2,500+ person service division. Coordinated 10 analysts to manually assess 2,200 sampled contacts against a purpose-built metric framework covering contact reason, process friction, repeat contact, escalation drivers, channel reason, avoidable contact, sentiment, resolution status, and related journey factors. Built the review process, sampling logic, quality checks, documentation, reporting packs, and visual outputs. The work created a reliable baseline for senior leaders to prioritise service improvement.

Problem

Senior leaders needed a reliable view of why clients were making contact, where service friction appeared in the journey, and which improvement priorities were backed by defensible evidence.

My Role

Designed the review framework, coordinated analyst delivery, set quality expectations, integrated assessed data, and shaped senior leader reporting packs.

Approach and Methodology

  • Defined sampling logic and assessment categories before review work began.
  • Coordinated 10 analysts to assess 2,200 sampled contacts consistently.
  • Built a metric framework covering contact reason, process friction, repeat contact, escalation drivers, channel reason, avoidable contact, sentiment, resolution status, and journey factors.
  • Integrated manually assessed data with operational sources and prepared executive-ready insight packs.
