Your OKR template

This OKR focuses on improving the effectiveness of support provided to customers. The primary goal is to ensure that 90% of support issues are resolved within a single business day. The strategies to achieve this include efficiently delegating cases, prioritizing those that are urgent, and introducing a fast follow-up process.

Another target is to decrease the average response time to under 2 hours, a significant improvement from the current average of 3 hours. The initiatives planned to reach this target include teaching personnel to solve problems quickly, introducing a proficient ticketing system, and increasing staff numbers in the customer service department.

A further objective is to create and introduce a support ticket triage system, to give priority to urgent issues. Achieving this objective involves designing a workflow that classifies and prioritizes incoming tickets, setting criteria for ticket prioritization based on urgency and importance, and implementing the system and training the team on how to use it and understand its benefits.

Overall, this OKR's title, "Enhance response efficiency on customer support", encapsulates its primary aim of improving the promptness and effectiveness with which customer support issues are resolved, with three individual strategies focusing on improving support case completion rates, reducing response times, and prioritizing urgent issues.
