Training Overview
A series of training courses designed for public sector executives at various stages of customer journey mapping.
Citizens expect their experience with government services to be as frictionless as when they interact with the private sector. However, the acceleration of digital tools and multiple points of interaction has added many layers of complexity to the delivery of citizen services.
Innovative methodologies and technologies help you to reimagine the customer journey. Attend a training session with Public Sector Network to reinvent your service design, identify pain points, amend infrastructure deficits, and ensure that public confidence in government is supported by positive experiences.
Through an innovative mix of lecture-style presentations, interactive group exercises and expert feedback, the Customer Journey Mapping for the Public Sector online training series will allow participants to improve CX by learning how to map, analyze and engage with each stage of their citizen’s journey to transform service delivery and align with organizational purpose. Under the guidance of our expert facilitator, this training session series will equip attendees with human-centered approaches that help to tackle growing expectations, fluctuating demand, and changing operational environments.
Participants will leave with both theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as implementable strategies they can embed in future projects and share with their multidisciplinary teams.
