Call resolution: the wrong focus for service quality?

Article Abstract:

Organizations seeking to measure customer problem resolution in their call centres are placing strong emphasis on call resolution. However, it is possible that call resolution is not the correct measure of service quality. It is clear that call resolution is the wrong focus if it is the only focus, as it is likely to increase peak workload and to create more calls. It is important to have full understanding of the data relating to volume, types of calls and basic causes.
