Discover how NPS, backlogs & efficiencies were improved simultaneously, by comprehensive end-to-end planning in British Gas Services that led to many more same day-appointments & lifted promise delivery 20%. 

  • Understand how to plan for inbound, outbound and field, bringing functions together to plan the end to end customer journey
  • Learn how a new operating model for engineers in the field maximised the use of resources
  • See the ways in which understanding the end to end customer journey drives real satisfaction

An exceptional end-to-end customer journey is the result of hard work by the customer and business planning team on a new operating model, communications structure and culture. In an established field service environment they introduced transparent MI, new call quality models, individual scorecards and a new development programme. Demand forecasts were improved by increasing weather feeds from 9 to 30. Joint team talks and weekly inter-team meetings drove communication and each geographical area now has its own planner. The model provides customers with the most appropriate engineer, providing engineer support and better use of resources in quieter periods for upgrade work and annual services. Broken appointments are down by 78%, Net Promoter Scores (NPS) increased 11 points and customer promise is improved 20%.
