		<description><![CDATA[Contact centers – handling phone calls, e-mails, faxes, written correspondence, and web chat – face major hurdles associated with managing key performance indicators.  I’ve worked with many organizations that thought upgrading their technologies would be a quick fix, only to find that their service levels had not improved. So what were they missing?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was with a client at a large Federal agency a few days ago. She’s a program manager responsible for a wide range of important veteran support initiatives.  She seemed harried. She has a lot of balls in the air – data calls, meetings, storyboarding for the modifications to the case management system, meetings with inter-agency working groups addressing similar veteran’s issues, contract reviews, meetings with community organizations, etc., etc.

The discussion naturally moved to organizational management capacity, and I asked her whether there was a PMO – a Program Management Office – that she was channeling to organize all these activities and ensure that they were aligned.  The answer was immediate – “Yes, but it’s very IT-focused.” She had a wry smile on her face as she spoke. It was clear that the PMO added limited value to her.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today’s fast-paced contact center environments, a quality monitoring program alone is only half of the Quality Assurance puzzle.  How do you analyze, then transform, those hours of listening, scoring, documenting and coaching into useful data? And how do you, then, take that data to the next level and make it actionable? ]]></description>

<em><strong>The Challenge</strong></em>
Government agencies, commercial enterprises, or not-for-profit companies, are responsible for managing the risks to their stakeholders and customers. It doesn’t matter if the risks are incurred from COTS software, vendor-provided services, or out-sourced business processes. From the standpoint of the stakeholders and regulators, the principal organization owns the responsibility. Given the potential cost of doing nothing, how does a principal organization answer the following questions?
• What is the sensitivity / criticality of the information accessed, processed, stored, transmitted, or otherwise “touched” by our vendors and partners?
• Exactly where is the information and what is each vendor doing to it?
• What are the impacts to our stakeholders if the confidentiality, integrity, availability, or accountability of the information is compromised?
• We’ve got hundreds of vendors – how can we establish risk assurance?

Catalog Spree honestly sounds a lot like SkyMall in app form.  Vaguely interesting I suppose but the idea of aggregating product lines into a single catalog doesn’t seem to be something that will fundamentally change my shopping experience.]]></description>
