The
Customer Scorecard is the tool that is being used throughout ORS to measure customer satisfaction. Each Performance Management (PM) Team will work with OQM to determine the methodology for administering the surveys and collecting completed forms. This will ensure that we don't inundate ORS customers with surveys, and that every team incorporates components of the ORS Customer Scorecard in their measurement process.
For more information on how to develop a customer assessment system, you may want to refer to the
Customer Assessment training, located on the OQM
Training page.
Overview
The Office of Quality Management will analyze all the ORS Customer Scorecard data, and provide each PM Team with a detailed report. For surveys to be included in the current fiscal year analyses, they must be received by the Office of Quality Management no later than 30 September.
The ORS Customer Scorecard data will also be rolled-up ORS-wide to provide senior ORS leaders with data regarding customer satisfaction across the varied services in ORS.
General steps
- Review your customer segmentation data to determine who might be appropriate groups for your data collection efforts. Realize you cannot collect data from all your customers, so you want to select those customers who are your primary customers and most important to your business.
- Review the products/services in your Service Group to determine at what you level your customers can provide you meaningful feedback in terms of their satisfaction with your services (i.e., Service Group level, Discrete Service level, or specific product/service level).
- Consider what other ORS providers would potentially contact the customers you plan to contact.
- Determine if a survey is the best method for collecting data from your customers. Other methods of data collection include focus groups, personal interviews, and observations.
- If you plan to survey your customers, develop a short paragraph explaining to them why you are doing the survey and define what you want them to rate (e.g., the Service Group, the Discrete Service, a specific product/service). Also indicate how they are suppose to get their completed surveys to the Office of Quality Management.
- Determine how you plan to deliver the survey to customers. Potential methods are hard copy surveys with a point-of-sale distribution method where customers receive the survey when you pick up your product/service. Another method is to use a web-based survey. Both methods have pluses and minuses so discuss this with your consultant.
