Planning for COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, the changes and impacts will continue for some time. It’s during times like this when you need you remember that you are part of a community of best practice, so don’t be alone. The Forum is your friendly, safe environment for sharing ideas, top tips and pitfalls to avoid. In this time of uncertainty its important that we collaborate and work together, bringing together ideas and use this time as an opportunity to learn and continue to raise standards. 

 We have designed three short series of learning academy modules, along with a top-tips & pitfalls to avoid for homeworking webinar and then a virtual networking group to help you. Phil Anderson has written an article about some of the considerations you might need to make.

The Forum announced its Innovation, Partner, and Best Practice Award winners at the end of April 2026 and now comes the opportunity to understand “What” sits behind these award stories and what these Organisations, Teams and Individuals are doing to Raise Standards in their Customer Operations. The 2026 Best Practice Virtual Showcase brings together award‑winning teams, innovators, and industry leaders to share how they are raising standards in customer operations.

Route 101 x Blackcircles: this partnership focused on bringing several disparate systems (WFM, QA, Voice, Ticketing) into one Zendesk environment. Success depended on rethinking processes and challenging long standing ways of working. Access to the Zendesk Early Access Programme enabled them to help test, shape and influence features of the system.

Join us to hear more about:

  • What did they do and why?
  • What have they had to overcome & change.
  • What have they done since the award submission?
  • What are the key learnings from the award story?
