Add to LibraryOverview
This module includes:
- Industry-aligned data structure – Custom ticket properties capture the nuances of consulting work (service impacted, client role, project phase, compliance flags, churn risk, recurring issue tracking). These fields feed directly into reports, SLAs, automation, and CSAT segmentation, ensuring every interaction is logged in consulting language—not generic IT jargon.
- Multi-pipeline help desk – Three predefined pipelines isolate day-to-day deliverable questions, project-execution blockers, and compliance/data-security incidents. Each uses progressive stages and mandatory exit criteria so issues are triaged, analysed, resolved, and closed with clear ownership and audit-readiness.
- Automation that mirrors real consulting workflows
-
Auto-assignment by service line routes Strategy tickets to the Strategy team, Digital Transformation to the Digital team, and so on.
-
SLA alerts escalate C-Suite-critical tickets within ten minutes.
-
Post-resolution surveys trigger instantly, feeding satisfaction scores straight back to the churn-risk property.
-
High-risk churn tickets notify CSMs and propose retention offers automatically.
Best Practices
Capture context at the door
by making consulting_service_impacted and project_phase_impacted mandatory on ticket forms—this powers precise SLA goals and workload forecasting.
Segment pipelines ruthlessly
Keep deliverable queries separate from compliance issues to prevent urgent security risks from hiding behind routine timeline questions.
Tie SLAs to client role and urgency
Executives expect faster acknowledgement; set automation so Critical + C-Suite tickets page a senior consultant immediately.
Close the loop on recurring issues
Use the recurring_issue checkbox to trigger “KB Update Required” so lessons learned become searchable articles, not tribal knowledge.
Blend qualitative and quantitative feedback
Pair CSAT scores with open-text feedback; review low-score comments in weekly stand-ups and assign owners for follow-up action.
Leverage the churn-risk score
Escalate scores ≥ 7 to a retention playbook that includes proactive outreach, executive check-ins, and potential commercial concessions.
Continuously audit compliance tickets
Schedule monthly reviews of the Compliance & Data Security pipeline with risk and legal teams to ensure remediation steps meet ISO 9001/GDPR obligations.
Evolve dashboards
Add custom reports—e.g., average resolution time by project phase—to spot bottlenecks between Discovery and Delivery and allocate resources early.
