APPA Customer Service Benchmarking

                                    Register for 2010
First Quartile Consulting's annual American Public Power Association Customer Service Benchmarking survey allows public power utilities to compare their customer service performance and practices to other public power utilities across the country.

The survey helps to support continuous improvement by providing the following benefits to your utility:
  1. Assess your performance against that of your peers
  2. Set realistic goals based upon your demographics
  3. Identify practice changes that have been successful elsewhere
  4. Reinforce ongoing change efforts by tracking your performance
Reasons to benchmark with First Quartile Consulting include:
  • Brief, yet comprehensive questionnaire
  • Powerful on-line software
  • Emphasis on case studies and initiatives
  • Comparison to our investor-owned utility statistics
  • Detailed research on current topics of interest
As part of the survey program, we will identify the most innovative practices and create a forum to share that information. We hope that you will participate and get your success stories out to your peers and your community.
