The Challenge
A large financial institution needed to implement a new CRM system across their 600-seat contact centre without disrupting customer service levels. The technology represented a significant change for agents, requiring careful management of adoption and usage while maintaining service level agreements.
Beyond the immediate system implementation, the organisation faced a broader challenge: how to build sustainable change management capability that would support both current and future transformations, while effectively engaging front-line staff in the change process.
