Preferred method – Measure transaction volume by channel Requires cross-channel tracking at a call type level We are not there yet!
Proxy methods Measure call reductions from a baseline
Requires a very stable and predictable baseline
Measure actual self-service usage and infer call deflections Get stakeholder signoff on deflection success rate assumptions up-front
To claim benefits Integrate measures with budget reductions Integrate self-service measures with Workforce Management
