Method and system for prioritizing performance interventions
First Claim
10. A computer-based method for sequencing performance interventions for delivery to a workforce member of a contact center, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a plurality of identifiers, each identifying a respective one of the performance interventions;
for each identifier in the plurality of identifiers;
receiving a specification of a timeframe for delivering the identified performance intervention; and
receiving a specification of a priority for the identified performance intervention; and
sequencing the identifiers, based on the specification of the timeframe and the specification of the priority of each identified performance intervention, to indicate a sequence for delivering the performance interventions to the workforce member.

Abstract
A member of a workforce of a contact center, such as an agent of a call center, can receive performance interventions, such as training, information, tips, or other items intended to enhance workplace performance. The performance interventions can be organized, sequenced, ranked, or prioritized in a lineup, an ordered list, or a queue, that specifies the sequence that the workforce member should receive the performance interventions. The agent might select a training course at the top of the list, for example. Two criteria, parameters, or values can characterize some aspect of each performance intervention. One criterion might characterize time sensitivity, while the other criterion might characterize importance, for example. Processing the two parameters can determine the sequence of performance intervention delivery.

21-1. The computer-based method of claim 21, further comprising the step of:
if two of the identified entries are identical, applying a rule to establish an order between the two identifiers.

25. A computer-based method for sequencing delivery of a plurality of performance interventions to an agent of a contact center, comprising the steps of:
-
determining first data describing an importance of each performance intervention in the plurality of performance interventions;
determining second data describing an urgency of each performance intervention in the plurality of performance interventions; and
sequencing delivery of the plurality of performance interventions in response to processing the first data and the second data. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A computer-based method for prioritizing performance interventions comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a list of the performance interventions;
for each listed performance intervention receiving a first parameter and a second parameter, each having relevance to prioritizing the performance interventions;
assigning a value to each of the listed performance interventions in response to processing the first and second parameters;
ranking the listed performance interventions by priority based on the assigned values;
monitoring a recipient of one of the performance interventions for a change in performance following receipt of the one of the performance interventions; and
changing the rank of the one of the performance interventions if the change in performance is monitored.
