A TARGETED HEALTH CHECK TO DELIVER IMMEDIATE AND LASTING IMPROVEMENTS

What is a Micro Health Check?

A Micro Health Check is a targeted health check intended to identify the ‘domino’ initiatives that will deliver immediate and long-lasting improvements in your contact centre. It functions as either a high-level review that targets the entire operation, or a mid-level review on a specific success segment of your operation.

Micro Health Checks are specifically geared to provide insight for time-poor leaders who need an outsider’s perspective on the challenges faced by their contact centre. This is achieved by producing a clear and actionable performance improvement strategy.

How Does it Work?

We use our proprietary M3X framework to assess your operation against the three critical X factors: Customer Experience, Employee Experience, and Workforce Experience.

3 STEPS TO GREAT RESULTS

Step 1: Planning

We start with a planning session to identify the key stakeholders we need to engage with, the ideal engagement methods, and the target timeframes for the delivery of the review. We also discuss our data request for all the data, reports and documentation that we will need to conduct our review.

In this session, we will gather any important context to clarify specific areas of concern and the key strategic objectives of the business. We also cover any logistical elements of our delivery, and book in key activities with key stakeholders.

Step 2: Review

During the review stage of the Micro Health Check, we conduct a high-level review of the 6 elements of operational excellence through interviews, walkthroughs, workshops, surveys and data reviews.

In these sessions, our consultants will seek to gain a detailed understanding of the "why", “what” and “how” of the business & each stakeholders role, including the tools and processes they use to guide them. This helps us to start identifying what’s working and what isn’t, and what opportunities exist to improve.

We'll also analyse data provided through process diagrams, performance reports & other key information assets to validate assumptions and crystalise our understanding.

Where we need to capture information and ideas from larger groups of stakeholders, we will conduct surveys or workshops and assess the outcomes from these sessions to complete our understanding of your as-is state.

Step 3: Recommendations

Once we have consolidated and validated the insights we gathered from our review activities, our consultants will present their findings and recommendations back to the business stakeholders.

After gathering feedback and clarifications from them, we will then handover a detailed report to the key stakeholders with all our comprehensive findings and recommendations.

From time to time we share industry updates and links to free resources. Stay in the loop for VIP access.

The 6 Elements of Operational Excellence

"The insights that Athena provided in their final report were really valuable in that we have been able to identify exactly what we need to focus on to fully optimise our capability. The report was very detailed and provided a really good road map that was chunked into manageable initiatives. What I liked about this was that there were suggested milestones which will help me measure our progress and success over the next year or two. Thoroughly worth the investment."
