Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Streamline the RCA for complaints related to translation and interpretation. This process will guide teams in documenting issues and identifying the root cause.
Timeline of Events Creation
- Purpose: Establish a comprehensive timeline from the first client interaction to receipt of the complaint
- Details to Capture:
- Each communication point (including date and channel).
- Key actions or decisions, including task assignments, quality checks, and escalations.
- Documentation Location:
- TBC: Use HubSpot's activity log to capture these events, tagging each entry with relevant keywords for easy retrieval.
Event Commentary
- Objective: Enhance understanding of each stage by providing detailed notes that highlight possible points of concern.
- Commentary Includes:
- Any deviations from standard procedures.
- Context for decisions made (e.g., specific client requests, unique project circumstances).
- Observations on team interactions or resource constraints.
Takeaway - Improvement Points
- Purpose: Identify areas for potential improvement.
- Method:
- CC Specialists / PMs should list all observations where the outcome could have been improved.
- Suggestions should be practical, focused on procedural adjustments, additional training, or resource allocation.
- Example: If instructions were unclear, document a recommendation to standardize instructions templates or improve briefing sessions.
Root Cause Analysis - Using the 5 Whys
- Objective: Reach the root cause of the issue by addressing the most actionable, solvable level.
- Methodology: Conduct a "5 Whys" analysis, with a focus on:
- Solvable Cause Identification: The RCA should stop at the actionable level, even if it does not fully explain the broader issue. This approach targets the last actionable point that can prevent recurrence.
- TBC: Documentation: Log the 5 Whys findings in HubSpot under the relevant ticket, ensuring all responses are detailed for future analysis.
