The County of San Diego's Aging & Independence Services (AIS) Contact Center's Customer Service Excellence Program’s intent was to focus on the customer’s experience as a basis for success. This meant incorporating qualitative as well as quantitative measures. After opportunities were identified and implemented, success was tracked and tremendous improvement was shown in as little as five months. Identifying gaps in service quality programs and then implementing programs with a team is a specific methodology that is highly repeatable. The success of AIS provides a model for other contact centers looking for answers in their efforts to optimize their customers' experiences.
