Success Stories

Singapore Airlines (SIA) faced challenges with improving their customer service standards while also needing to cut operational costs. Specific issues included a slow response time for customer queries and inefficient boarding processes that affected passenger experience and increased boarding times. Additionally, there were inefficiencies in the supply chain logistics, which escalated operational costs.

Approach

Our approach to the hackathon to tackle SIA’s challenges was multi-faceted, integrating Design Thinking, Behavioural Science, and Lean Processing.
The following steps were taken:

Empathy: Using Design Thinking, we put ourselves in the customers’ shoes to understand their pain points in the service experience.

Behavioural Analysis: We conducted a detailed behavioural analysis to comprehend customer behaviours impacting service and cost structures.

Problem Definition: After identifying the issues affecting customer service and operational efficiency, we devised solutions.

Brainstorming Solutions: We brainstormed automated solutions for prompt customer service and engagement, emphasising improving the customer experience.

Optimised Boarding Procedures: We crafted behaviorally optimised boarding procedures to enhance passenger flow and increase efficiency.

Prototyping: We developed wireframe prototypes of the proposed automated chatbot system and created mock-ups of the revised boarding procedures.

Validation: Simulations of the new systems were conducted for validation, ensuring they would effectively address the identified issues.

Trials and Refinements: We conducted trials of these new systems, refining and improving their efficacy based on the data collected.

Results

Customer Service Improvement

We successfully enhanced the response time of customer service by 40%, significantly improving the overall customer experience.
Increased Customer Satisfaction

The improved customer service led to a meaningful increase in customer satisfaction scores by 25%.
Operational Cost Reduction

We managed to trim operating costs by 15% through optimised supply chain logistics and streamlined boarding processes.
Leadership Praise:

The facilitation team, led by Joel Alexander N., attracted commendation for its exceptional leadership and facilitation skills that cultivated a culture of innovation and collaboration.
Enhanced Standards and Efficiency:

The successful Hackathon profoundly impacted SIA's customer service standards and operational efficiency.
