Best Practice Events & Live Case Studies

We facilitate Live Case Studies and best practice days, to share learning from our Award winners and finalists over the summer months, especially from the Transformation & Innovation Awards. This is another great opportunity to learn about the fantastic things that these organisations have achieved. These are interactive events to allow plenty of time for questions with key stakeholders in the transformation and networking with other delegates focussed on the same challenges.

As a member, you are not on your own but part of a community with others facing many similar challenges. We are here to help you to make a tangible impact in your organisation and show how developing the capability of each specialist professional function is fundamental to your business.

All Live Case Studies Videos are available to all Forum Members. You will need login to gain access or register if you don't have a login.

Case Study 2017: Workforce planning: engaging stakeholders Europe-wide at Staples

See the full Case Study

The new planning team was at the heart of a programme that developed workforce planning (WFM) culture and capability across all 11 European contact centres. The ways they engage with Operations are key to success; this will interest most central support functions. They’ve built understanding about the need to change and gained buy-in for many changes in working practices, balancing standardisation with the same need for local variation. Roll-out of Aspect WFM and the new MI reporting tool DNA were key for effective planning – highlighting areas of inefficiency and making the case for a more flexible business model that includes outsourcing support. This created immediate benefits. Cost per contact is down 10% with real-time savings of €257k via reallocated hours and adherence measures alone.

Key results
•   26 sites consolidated to 11 over three years
•   Operational costs cut 6% year-on-year
•   10% point reduction in cost per contact
•   €257K net benefit from real time management alone in 2016 (€115K via reallocated hours and €212K via adherence measures)
