What are some of the best practices to calculate the volume shift, related reports etc. Right now we don't have a way metric for this. Need suggestions to kick off.

Hello Garima,

 

Here are two insightful articles that will help you develop reports in your organization.

We look at a number of indicators for self-service benefits, which is generally at least part of a shift-left strategy:

  • Contact rate, or the number of cases / incidents opened per unit time per customer (or whatever your best demand predictor is)
  • Self-service adoption (the usual suspects such as KB PVs, UUs, sessions)
  • Successful customer interactions on the web
  • Case / incident deflection

Our approach for estimating the last two is here: https://www.dbkay.com/files/DBKay-SimpleTechniquesforEstimatingCallDeflection.pdf

If you show your execs that contact rate is decreasing while self-service adoption is increasing,  you've started a pretty compelling case.  Add in credible estimates for success and deflection, and you've strengthened your case!
