Associate 365 is a versatile AI based predictive tool , which can ingest millions of data inputs across the three dimensions of agent behavior (login/out, browsing, 1-0-1 feedback etc.), profile (vintage, salary, grade etc.), historical performance (effectiveness, efficiency) for large multi-regional teams through well-defined data channels periodically and manifest results in terms of 'precise error prone samples', 'Auto Regression Integrated Moving average based 4-6 week performance prediction at granular level' and 'triggers for proactive counselling, attrition management'. The conception of this tool arose from a social media engagement, wherein diversity and granularity of data was vast and dynamic coupled with ever evolving policy landscape posed grave challenges to maintaining platform sanctity. It did work wonders as it took away 30% of operations management time by automated sampling, wellness triggers and policy based clusters. Refreshers became dynamic and precise leading to 5-8% sustained gain in effectiveness globally. Process Knowledge tests were narrow casted as per individual requirements. 1/3rd of probable attrition was contained and ESAT rose by 10%. While the tool has proven its capability for a digital born engagement, the versatility of elements make sure that the same can be used as a plug and play with minor modifications across all service lines and verticals. The time for modification and pilots would range between 1-3 months depending upon the team size, number of regions, data availability etc.

There has been a general shift towards shorter project durations, adoption of fail fast and agile methodologies across industries and more so in digital and IT space. This calls for real time data nuggets for quick decision making and freeing management's time from laborious slicing, dicing, pivoting and statistical analysis. A365 clearly fits the bill here. Once established, data automatically flows into the tool from pre-defined locations, which can be manually maintained trackers or system generated reports. Complex algorithms like Auto regression based moving average are able to derive insights on future trend fluctuations and identify needs for urgent or planned interventions in terms of process training and employee wellness. Overhead costs like Business Analysts and reporting teams can be significantly reduced. Automatic triggers not only save management's time for analysis and dash-boarding but also improves in-production time by 10% as raters get individual case-lets and knowledge tests as per their feedback requirements. 1-0-1 interactions for feedback are optimized with readily available insights. Action planning takes precedence to analysis paralysis. The simple concept of 'Y is a function of multiple Xs' has been used and actualized to fullest potential within A365 framework, which works on simple and elegant language of R.

A365 Predict operations tool  helps managers to predict operations –1. Persona Creation and Automated reporting with trigger identification along with Actionable insights which has also Prediction power for attrition/Error. 2 Dashboard performance at a granular level 3. Identify variations at all levels of rater, region, TL/TM or any combination 4. Predicts volume fluctuations and accuracy output week after week 5. Samples the best data set for internal audit process ensuring real time check on errors.
