Transformational Government
  • Customer-centricity
  • Use customer insight
  • Design services properly
  • Shared services
  • Explore opportunities to partner-up
  • As well as technology
  • Professionalism
  • Be part of the business
  • See wider opportunities

To modernise services, government needs a
systematic view of what citizens and businesses
want and need.

Service Transformation Sir David Varneys Review
  • The report identifies key changes needed to
    create joined up citizen and business facing
    services
  • Engaging more with citizens and businesses and
    putting customer insight at the heart of service
    design
  • Grouping Service Delivery around customer needs
    and life episodes and not government services,
    departments and policies
  • Rationalising Service Delivery by radically
    reducing the number of websites, phone lines and
    front offices whilst managing customers across
    those channels
  • Making best use of the governments information
    asset to underpin Service Transformation by
    managing identity and data to benefit the
    customer

Service Transformation Delivery Agreement
Citizens time is not free, yet often the way we
deliver services assumes it to be so. The aim of
this agreement is to change public services so
they meet the needs of people and businesses
rather than the government and to transfer the
burden of co-ordination of our different
processes from the public to the government.
  • A measurable improvement in customer experience
    is central to the ambition of the Service
    Transformation PSA and the delivery plan
  • Measures will be based on
  • A reduction in the number of contact points
    across a range of representative tasks and
    episodes for citizens and businesses
  • Improvements in customer satisfaction based on
    experience of key drivers
  • Penetration of the new Customer Service Standard
    in public sector organisations
  • .. But measurement is hard!

The Customer Insight Forum
The Customer Insight Forum supports the work of
the Delivery Council in the implementation of the
recommendations of Sir David Varneys Service
Transformation Review, around the use of customer
insight. It is a small group of heads of insight
in the public sector, working individually and
collectively to help government at a central and
local level to establish a customer-focused
culture of continuous improvement. More
information about the work of the Delivery
Council and the Customer Insight Forum is

A common language around insight?
Customer Insights (1)
  • A deep truth about the customer based on
    their behaviour, experiences, beliefs, needs or
    desires, that is relevant to the task or issue
    and rings bells with target people.
  • May be delivered by a single piece of research or
    ad-hoc project
  • Insight means different things to different
    people, its definition often dictated by peoples
    experiences and areas of comfort.
  • The term is used all the time in reference to
    interesting bits of information
  • It is not necessarily clear how to recognise
    strong insight from weak
  • It is useful to draw a distinction between an
    insight and Insight as a discipline

Customer Insight (the discipline) (2)
  • Having a deep, embedded knowledge of the
    customers and the market around us that helps
    structure thinking and sound decision making
  • Comes from a combination of multiple pieces of
    data, built into a joined-up big picture
    through strategic, business and political analysis

A customer-focused organisation has customer
insight and orientation embedded throughout

Customer Insight is a strategic discipline that
draws on many sources to create a
single-customer-view
The Government Communications Network Engage
Programme sets out a framework for the engagement
of customers and generation of insight,
illustrating clearly the range of sources that
can be used to build a joined-up big picture
Customer intelligence exists within
organisations, often in large volumes. However,
the co-ordinating function that links information
together to generate stories and genuine
insights which meet specific strategic and
business objectives is often absent.

Customer focus is the embedding of customer
understanding and insight throughout the
organisation and its behaviours
Changing what you do and how you work
Bringing the organisation with you
At a high level, customer-focused companies
embrace three concepts. First, they know they
can become customer focused only if they learn
everything about their customers needs second,
they know this picture is useless if employees
cant or wont share what they learn finally,
they use this insight to guide not only their
product and service decisions but their basic
strategy and organisational structure as
well. - Harvard Business Review, April 2005 (1)
  • Getting closer to customers is not just a matter
    of installing a better CRM system or of finding a
    more effective way to measure and increase
    customer satisfaction levels. Tools and
    technology are important. But theyre not
    enough. Thats because getting close to
    customers is not so much a problem the IT or
    marketing department needs to solve as a journey
    that the whole organisation needs to make.

    organisational case studies), April 2005 (1)

What does this mean in practice?
  • Services constructed and delivered in a way that
    makes most sense for the citizen, irrespective of
    agency boundaries, in the manner of citizens own
    choosing and with the backing of considerable
    communication and readily availably support so
    that citizens feel well equipped to conduct their
    business with government.

People are changing socially . . .
Old age stereotypes cease to apply
Appetite for new technology. . . but not across
the board
Growing affluence . . . but lower income groups
are missing out
Citizens driven by value for life and choice . .
. but there can be too much choice for some
Demand for organisational transparency . . . but
desire for personal privacy
Short-termism live for the moment coupled with
global concerns
Households may be changing . . . but family
values re-emerging

Public Sector Changing Too

Customer centric services
  • Public services to make life easier for people
  • Public services serving the public, not
    themselves
  • Just having staff who think theyre there to
    help would make a big difference

15
Requires transformation
  • Listen to the people you are trying to serve and
    those that serve them well
  • Assess what they are telling you
  • Understand the message
  • Take decisive action
  • Shift from inside out to outside in thinking
  • Fundamental change of mindset
  • Be driven by the customer, not the theory
  • Often requires radical transformation of service
  • Private companies have done this
  • Not one size fits all solution
  • Continuous and relentless as customers and world
    change

16
So what do we need to do tackle some unglamorous
issues like
  • Move beyond basic demographic segmentation and
    understand customers according to their values,
    needs and intentions
  • Create the infrastructure that closes the loop
    between customer experience and expectation
  • Employ people who serve the customer over the
    process
  • Develop an ecosystem model which allows us to
    delegate service accountability to the relevant
    community in order to drive outcomes

  • Travel in back of the car most often

  • Least likely to be driver influenced
  • Missed generation in exposure to ads
  • Reasons for non-use
  • Short journey not worth it 63
  • Feel uncomfortable 52

Pieces of Key Data Information
Understanding
86 believe they wont have an accident on short
journey/ locally
40 think they are safe in a residential area
Belief that I only need to worry when on a
"journey" is misplaced
94 of accidents happen on residential/minor roads
I dont want to live with the guilt of killing
someone else
People believe they are in control in the
back...
Biggest risk is to front seat passengers on
short local drives
...but movement is uncontrollable under impact
Most fatalities are not to unbelted back seat
passenger
Youths feel safe in the back
Risk to self not important- risk to others
shocking
Youths shocked when confronted by statistics
