Your team is divided on customer issue priorities. How do you navigate the conflicting opinions?

When teams are divided on customer issue priorities, it’s essential to have a robust escalation process in place. Empowering a single point of contact, like an account manager, to lead the coordination efforts can streamline communication and ensure that the most urgent issues are addressed promptly. At InterSystems, we also encourage involving customers in the escalation process, allowing them to define when an issue is truly resolved. This customer-centric approach not only builds trust but also aligns internal teams around the common goal of customer satisfaction.

Create a Prioritization Framework: Use a framework (such as the Eisenhower Matrix or a scoring system) to categorize issues into different priority levels. This can help provide a visual representation of where focus is needed.

Establish Clear Criteria: Before prioritizing, it’s essential to establish clear criteria for ranking issues. For example, during a customer support overhaul, we defined criteria such as impact on customer satisfaction, frequency of occurrence, and resource requirements. This clarity helped in objectively assessing and ranking the tasks. Use Visual Tools: Utilizing visual tools like Kanban boards or priority matrices can aid in the collaborative prioritization process. For example, during a customer service improvement initiative, we used a priority matrix to plot tasks based on their urgency and importance, facilitating a more structured discussion.

When dealing with conflicting opinions on customer issue priorities within a team, it's essential to foster open communication. Encourage team members to share their perspectives and reasons behind their priorities. Then, work together to find common ground or a compromise that takes everyone's input into account. It's all about finding that balance and respecting each other's viewpoints.

If our team disagrees on something I believe it's a good idea to listen to why they disagree and what they would like to do instead. Then ask the others the same. Value every opinion given and also formulate a plan to respect everyone, even if we disagree, then remember the customer will pick up on the energy we put out. If we want to grow amd be successful, we all need to lighten up and be kind and respectful to everyone. There is always room to grow.
