- Ops Managers words of appreciation acknowledging my excellent work:
- “Sholto led the project '' Beyond Boundaries '' and managed to deliver some great support for IMS and FDMS teams. More than 50% of the population was part of this project which lasted for more than a month in different phases. This helped businesses reduce TAT and shrink outstanding volumes. The project team also had a lot of learning from this project, which I am sure would be helpful in the future. Great show Sholto and i am proud of having you in my team.

Project
- System Thinking (Project Initiated by O2 Telecom UK) - April 2013 to August 2013
Aims of this project:
- Sorted there and then (STT) > 80%
- No further contacts (for the same query) through any Channel for 35 Days should be greater then 70%
- CSAT scores to be higher than BAU CSAT by 5%.
The team consists of multi-skilled advisors dealing with chats of their own skills. However, if a customer is having a query about different skill then they would not transfer the chat but deal with it. This improves customer experience, reduces chat length.
My role: To spend 70% of the time in the work, side by side chat reviewing, discussing logic with the advisors to ensure that they don’t go back to BAU before Systems Thinking.
To log the blockages I see stopping chats being completed STT and report these in the weekly review.
Identifying the demands that are coming into the system is value or failure Document process improvement ideas and provide as part of the weekly update pack
Investigate reasons for repeat call/chat when we have not deflected a contact for 35 days Complete weekly chat transcript leveling with UK Reps & also System Thinking advisors in classroom scenario to ensure that best practice learned in training is still evident in actual work.
