1. Figure 1.1: Local improvement of operations by eliminating inefficiencies Responsiveness Low High Eliminate inefficiencies Current frontier In the industry Labor Productivity (e.g. $/call) Low labor productivity High labor productivity Competitor A Competitor C Competitor B

2. Figure 1.2: Trade-off between labor productivity and responsiveness Responsiveness Labor Productivity (e.g. $/call) Low High Low labor productivity High labor productivity Longer waiting times, yet operators are more fully utilized Shorter waiting times, but more operator idle time Current position on the frontier
