CASE STUDY –  ORBIT

How Orbit improved their
agent competence and
customer outcomes

Annual e-learning wasn't moving the needle on call quality for Orbit. Different teams needed different levels of complexity and traditional training couldn't accommodate that. Cognexo replaced the one-size-fits-all approach with a personalised, continuous learning model - and the results showed up immediately.

about the client

Background

Orbit is one of the UK's leading housing associations, providing homes and services to over 100,000 customers. With a large, customer-facing workforce spanning multiple teams and service areas, maintaining consistent call quality, competency standards and regulatory compliance across the organisation is an ongoing operational priority.

The Challenge

Orbit had been finding it challenging to achieve their call quality goal through annual e-learning alone. Different teams needed to learn at different levels of complexity and traditional training was not able to accommodate this.

The result was a capability gap that showed up in call quality scores - and a training model that was consuming thousands of hours of productivity without delivering the consistent improvement the business needed.

Their goals were clear:

Deliver a personalised learning journey for all staff whilst providing evidence of improvement to the wider business and regulators
Introduce a solution that would better help managers coach and develop staff based on data and analytics
What we did

The Solution

Cognexo Develop - Capability & Operational Readiness

Orbit deployed Cognexo to replace periodic e-learning with a continuous, personalised
capability programme - delivering targeted knowledge reinforcement at the level each
team and individual actually needed.

Personalised learning journeys
Rather than a e-learning courses for all staff, Cognexo delivered learning tailored to different teams, roles and levels of complexity - ensuring every individual received content relevant to their specific needs and knowledge gaps.
Gap analysis
Cognexo's analytics gave Orbit a clear, real-time view of where knowledge gaps existed across teams — enabling targeted intervention rather than blanket refresher training.
Better management coaching
Through Cognexo's intelligent dashboard, managers gained a much clearer understanding of where their direct reports needed more guidance - turning data into coaching conversations rather than assumptions.
Evidence for regulators
The platform provided an auditable record of knowledge attainment and competency improvement - giving Orbit the
evidence base needed to demonstrate standards to regulators and the wider business.
