My Role
User Interface Designer for all aspects.
My Responsibilities
Most early work was restructuring of the IVR design to support surgical removal of content from Norwich Union (legacy brand) and the RAC, a car breakdown recovery service.
Major sub-project to offer highly tailored messaging to callers, for better caller experience and reduced call time. Significant work with client Business Analysts, including preparation of business case to Group Legal.
Challenges & Opportunities
Aviva went through significant restructuring of both their core business and their customer service approach during this period.
The permanent Aviva team was excellent, and knew their business intimately. Use of external consultants to drive through business process changes sometimes added complexity.There was some tension between the client’s IVR team and their Web/Digital team, which is not unusual. Whenever possible, we coordinated changes with web-centric UX designers, to promote overall CX design consistency.
