Openreach call centre research

Openreach, a BT Group business, requested an intensive ethnographic study of their call centre process to reduce the time and resources needed to repair faults for customers. I spent a week in a Chester call centre modelling the different processes at work.

What I did

  • Planning and running ethnographic field research
  • Persona generation
  • Scenario generation
  • Mental model generation

I was assigned to a technical and business analysis team from within Openreach as the sole user researcher. I planned and implemented the research approach, ran interviews and observation sessions, as well as some basic usability testing and rapid prototyping.

My findings were delivered in a final report highlighting issues and recommending strategies for improvement.
