The Global challenge facing the Public Sector (1)

Need to eliminate work that does not directly contribute to the delivery of front line services

Need to control and reduce costs through a determined and ongoing alignment of all work towards Successful Citizen Outcomes (SCO’s)

Urgent and pressing need to optimize services that contribute to the front line

Identify and prioritize policies and programs (for rationalization) that are not and will not contribute significantly to SCO’s

The Global challenge facing the Public Sector (2)

Scale back and eliminate non value added services across internal, secondary and primary customer/citizen categories

Re-engineer and move Outside In public service delivery for immediate and sustainable benefit

Review reward schemes to ensure alignment with SCO’s Introduce ongoing and focused training to ensure currency of knowledge and application of appropriate approaches and technologies

UNDERSTAND WHO THE CUSTOMER IS AND WHAT THEY REALLY NEED

UNDERSTAND WHO THE CUSTOMER IS AND WHAT THEY REALLY NEED

“If you're not serving the customer, you'd

better be serving someone who is.”

Karl Albrecht

“The customer is

our reason for being

here.”

“We need to get scientific about the Customer

Experience”

A customer is the most important

visitor on our premises.

He is not dependent on us.

We are dependent on him.

He is not an

interruption in our work. He is the

purpose of it. He is not an outsider

in our business. He is part of it.

We are not doing him

a favour by serving him.

He is doing us a favour by giving us an

opportunity to do so.

Mahatma Gandhi

In other words... Everything looks like a Scottish pin factory! And the way we describe everything can be just as inside-out…

What’s Missing?

Our representation systems were born in the Industrial Revolution – are they still relevant?

A New Landscape is emerging

We need to Understand

The Real NEEDS and not the wants of

the Customer

Once we have that we can create

alignment to those Needs (Successful

Customer Outcomes)

DO YOU CAPTURE WHAT THE CUSTOMER SAYS THEY WANT? OR

DO YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CUSTOMER NEEDS EVEN WHEN THEY DON’T KNOW IT THEMSELVES?

UNDERSTANDING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

The Customer Experience is the Process

What does the customer really need?

Design isn’t the way something looks – it is the way something works

DO YOU MANAGE PROCESS THROUGH THE THINGS PEOPLE DO? OR

DO YOU HARNESS AND CONTROL PROCESSES BY UNDERSTANDING WHAT CAUSES THEM (THE MOMENTS OF TRUTH) HOW MANY MOMENTS OF TRUTH DO YOU HAVE? ARE THOSE MOT’S UNDER CONTROL?
