  I like the idea of organizations measuring individual interactions with citizens as a way to improve customer service. I’ve filled out countless customer service surveys to never hear anything back or how that feedback was used. If organizations can also collect data on the backend, like whether the issue was addressed with one call or did the person have to call back repeatedly to finally get his or her request addressed, that seems like a good supplement to customer surveys.
