Protocols What do members expect to see
on the web site Three target groups
New members Veteran members Committee, chapter, and trip leaders
10 participants in each group
![Page 6: Best of Baskin Presented by Avram Baskin. Spock says… “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one”](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5697bfd81a28abf838caec88/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Major Issues All participants joined to go on trips, and
all participants found it difficult to get the information they needed to go on a trip
If members do not quickly find information they want they get frustrated and give up and do not try again
Participants felt that they were just “thrown into their membership” – no orientation is provided

Recommendations
Provide a home page link to trip listings
Make trips sortable by date, activity, and type of activity
Include printable copy of trip listings Explain the geography of the club and
how the Boston Chapter is organized

sites for organizations similar to the AMC
Six screen shots per sheet of poster board
Participants ranked their top five choices, based on immediate visual appeal

Next Steps
Apply metrics developed by Ivory and colleagues for predicting if a web site will be highly rated
Perform a cluster analysis to assess similarities between the groups of ranked sites submitted by the participants

Strategic Objective
Customer should speak with a human being as quickly as possible No complex phone trees If wait is four minutes or less, customer
is put on hold If wait greater than four minutes,
customer gets a busy signal Don’t tie up resources for more than
four minutes

Work Force Planning Analyst
Responsible for staffing and scheduling in real time
Analyze all call, e-mail, chat, and mail order activity
Make sure work is evenly allocated to agents.
If high call volumes in certain areas, reassign agents to those areas

User Questionnaires
![Page 25: Best of Baskin Presented by Avram Baskin. Spock says… “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one”](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5697bfd81a28abf838caec88/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Issues May be difficult to provide statistical
accuracy i.e. reporting at 95% confidence level with a
margin of error of ± 3% Limited resources Possibility of bad data in contact list All members did not have equal
opportunity to respond to questionnaire But results still useful
Data for user profiles Data for modeling user expectations for the
web site
