Defining Objectives: Benchmarking vs. Continuous Improvement PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 30-slide Voice of the Customer (VOC) PowerPoint presentation, presents a critical examination of the objectives behind Voice of the Customer (VOC) programs, specifically contrasting 2 strategic goals: Benchmarking and Continuous Improvement. It emphasizes that VOC initiatives typically align with one of these 2 distinct aims, which significantly influences survey design and execution.

In the Benchmarking section, the slide notes that surveys often include numerous rating queries. This approach is data-driven, aiming to gather standardized responses across all participants. However, it highlights the importance of brevity and relevance in survey questions, as longer and less focused queries can lead to lower-quality responses. The implication here is that while benchmarking provides valuable comparative insights, it may not capture the nuances of individual customer experiences.

The Continuous Improvement section shifts focus to a more personalized survey approach. It suggests that these surveys should be tailored to reflect the unique experiences of respondents. This customization is crucial for obtaining meaningful feedback, as it allows for a more equitable distribution of ratings and open-ended responses. The slide underscores the necessity of selecting specific questions carefully to elicit detailed answers, which can lead to a deeper understanding of customer needs and the identification of root causes for issues.

Overall, the slide effectively delineates the different strategic objectives of VOC programs, urging organizations to consider their goals when designing surveys. Understanding whether the focus is on benchmarking or continuous improvement will guide the structure and content of the surveys, ultimately impacting the quality of insights gained.
