Advisors Are a Key Part of Knowledge Creation

The best people at simplifying customer responses are experienced contact centre advisors, who know the answers to common queries.

2021 Survey Graph As Part of Your Knowledge Management Strategy, Have You…?

With this being the case, it was great to see 59.9% of contact centres involving their teams in knowledge creation.

An additional 42.1% have also appointed a knowledge manager to analyse content and keep the system up to date.

Style Guides Are Seemingly Underutilized

Setting a style guide, so that every piece of knowledge is formatted in the same way, can be very beneficial, as advisors are then able to immediately make sense of the material.

However, little more than a third of contact centres do so, overlooking a potentially simple method of simplifying knowledge content.

Also, only 39.5% of contact centres have set up a review process for pieces of knowledge. This could be a major factor in why knowledge base accuracy is so erratic.

This survey was done in partnership with Akixi, NICE, Nuance, Odigo, Poly and ProcedureFlow.
