Customer Journey Mapping for the Public Sector
Wednesday, 20 September, 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM AEST | Online
Training Overview
Step into your customers’ shoes to create seamless interactions and drive meaningful connections
Understanding your users and customer centricity is more important than ever as government agencies increase investment in modernisation initiatives and transformation.
A series of surveys has revealed something that we have long suspected, citizens are seeking responsive governments. When it comes to using government services, 81% of citizens expect their requests to be resolved in a single interaction. Meanwhile, more than 85% have said that speed, simplicity, convenience and transparency are important to them.
Putting customers at the centre and designing services that fit people’s lives and skill-levels, will not only increase engagement. But it will build trust and lasting connections.
Customer journey mapping is a series of tools and frameworks that organisations can use to gain a better understanding of their customers; their needs, motivations, expectations and pain points. These insights can then be used to create seamless interactions and drive meaningful connections.
This online course has been designed to give public servants who are striving to improve customer experiences, an opportunity to step into their customers’ shoes. It will enable you to reflect on and uncover their needs, motivations, expectations and pain points. These insights can then be used to create seamless interactions and drive meaningful connections.
