The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: strategy alignment, technology selection, data governance, quality integration, agent coaching, compliance management, and performance reporting. Practitioners use it to evaluate current capabilities, identify gaps, and build improvement plans. Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable statement, allowing users to respond with "Yes," "No," or "Not Applicable." Example questions include: "Do you have a documented process for reviewing speech analytics findings weekly?" "Is transcription accuracy monitored and reported monthly?" and "Are coaching plans updated based on recurring speech-derived issues?"
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word formats, designed for immediate use. Artifact types include a project charter, implementation checklist, call scoring rubric, governance meeting agenda, gap analysis worksheet, compliance audit log, and performance dashboard. Each template follows a consistent structure and includes guidance notes to support correct application. Users can modify fields, formatting, and content to align with internal standards.
Course Outcomes and Certification
Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed maturity assessment, a 30-day rollout plan with assigned milestones, and a final project summary integrating findings from the workbook and dashboard. The Art of Service issues a certificate of completion confirming demonstrated knowledge and applied capability in speech analytics program management.
