How One Organization Transformed Its Customer Experience with the Alignment Accelerator
1
Bridging the Gap Between Vision and Reality
2
Uncovering the Root Cause of Member Frustration
GIO's stakeholder interviews and data analysis revealed a surprising insight: members were "gaming the system" by bypassing the IVR to reach live agents directly. Fueled by frustration with inadequate self-service options, this tactic significantly contributed to poor containment and authentication rates - key metrics for the company's transformation efforts.
3
Aligning Executives Around a Shared Vision
With this key discovery in hand, GIO led an executive alignment workshop. Leaders from various departments collaborated to confront the current state of their member experience, align on the implications, and co-create a transformative vision to optimize operations and enhance competitiveness.
4
A Pivotal Moment: From Insights to Commitment
The workshop marked a turning point. Executives gained a shared understanding of the untapped potential in the IVR and pledged their commitment to a member-centric transformation strategy. GIO delivered a comprehensive report outlining the findings, recommendations, and roadmap, arming leaders with the tools to drive measurable results.
