"Wizard of Oz"
Usability Tests
"Wizard of Oz" IVR Usability tests bring your customers face-to-face with proposed new menus. These tests are online one-on-one, diagnostic customer tests of proposed or live system menus and/or applications that help isolate and identify specific problem areas. They have significant value prior to large-scale system introduction, but also pay off by diagnosing underperforming mature system menus or problem applications.
Deliverables
Soon after these tests, the IVR Doctors will present their evaluation, analysis and recommendations. Also, we will produce a summary video will be made to help justify changes to the IVR to senior management, and are a good training tool for customer service representatives.

Live System
Usability Tests
A Usability Test of the live or pre-launch production system is the best way to make sure that all of the technical and aesthetic elements work together, and that the pace, pauses, tone, technical quality, and image of the new system match your callers’ expectations. Key self-service applications can be tested online, end-to-end, with a focus on underperforming call flow elements.
Deliverables
Soon after these tests, the IVR Doctors will present their evaluation, analysis and recommendations online. And, as with Wizard tests, we will produce a Summary Video that help justify changes to the IVR to senior management, and are a good training tool for customer service representatives.
