IT Meetings Health Index (MHI) SOW – Confidential

March 2014
 



This SOW pursuant to the Microsoft Purchase Order Terms and Conditions is entered into by the parties and effective as of the SOW Effective Date above as further described herein:

1. Description of Services
Pursuant to and in conformance with any standards and/or specifications which may be provided by Microsoft to Supplier from time to time, Supplier shall deliver to and/or perform for Microsoft the following goods, services and/or other items or materials as defined further below (collectively, the "Services").
Supplier will apply its proven approach to and methodological system for Microsoft Customer Experience Management to conduct an internal customer experience research program for Microsoft Information Technology organization (IT), Modern IT Experience/Digitopia and the Customer Experience Management team from Strategic Enterprise Services (SES), in support of and to help develop a Meeting Health Index (MHI) for Microsoft.
The objective of these Services is to help Digitopia identify and prioritize customer perception of those key meeting interactions that affect meeting health, so that we can quantitatively measure how well different meeting experiences work, and how people feel as a result so we can identify and fix issues to improve health. The result will be a defensible Meeting Health Index (MHI) that, when improved, will directly drive meeting user engagement and satisfaction with the Microsoft meetings experience along the KPIs deemed most relevant to and by Modern IT Experience/Digitopia.
Based on the best-practices for customer experience benchmarking, core concepts of customer experience, methodologies and the foundation of the CCE program, Supplier will assist MSIT to:

§
Understand exactly what "Meeting Health" means, and learn what it takes to improve it
§
Define/Prioritize KPIs that Drive Meeting Health
§
Articulate the Outside-In Components of the Meeting Health Index (MHI), including baseline metrics for touchpoints, emotions, lifecycle stages, drivers and overall experience
§
Assess the relevance and interconnections of the inside-out ("below the line") aspects of Meeting health in the context of outside-in drivers, including data, technologies, systems, processes and capabilities. (Note: Supplier will not be involved in the mapping of nor the development of baseline metrics for these inside-out elements; these will be entirely the responsibility of Microsoft)
§
Help develop the Meeting Health Index (MHI) for Microsoft, with total responsibility for the KPIs driven by the outside-in customer perspective.
All surveys will be performed in English and distributed to an internal Microsoft global audience by Supplier on Microsoft's behalf. Ability to meet the stated schedule/milestones are entirely dependent on Microsoft being able to provide required feedback and data in what are expected to be very short time frames (e.g. a matter of days) through all of Phase 1 and parts of Phase 2.  These expectations will be set at the beginning of Phase 1 (Project Kickoff/Schedule development).
The key activities for each phase of work are as follows:
Phase 1:  Insights – In Phase 1 we gather customer perceptions and attitudes of their meeting experience through statistically projectable quantitative research (95% confidence). This includes understanding various attributes and touchpoints by segment, and how they affect attitudes and decision making across stages of the meeting journey. Key activities include:
§
Project Kickoff
§
Schedule development
