Local Government: Improving Customer Experience and Customer Engagement
With a growing and changing population, David Kerr, the Director of Community and Belonging at Northern Beaches Council in Sydney, says that their council was only formed “four and a half years old through an amalgamation of three councils who effectively had no relationship with each other.” The councils had no relationship, but more importantly, the citizens also had little connection with the councils. So the most important thing that the new council started to do was to “actively listen to our customers, and to be empathetic to the concerns expressed by our customers.” That meant reiterating regularly and from …

Improving the Operational Efficiency of your Council
Dawn Baxendale began her role at Christchurch City Council in October 2019. Just a few months later the world changed, but before then, in January 2020, the Council revised some of their plans based on the three principles mentioned above. “Those principles were basically critical to help us get through COVID-19.” Many councils, including theirs, decided to undertake a second annual plan after the pandemic began because so many parameters had changed. However, since the first plan was underpinned by those principles and since everyone was on board, “we were able to do it in just five weeks.” The result …

Women in Leadership Spotlight Series: Marjorie A. Cadogan, Executive Deputy Commissioner, Office of Citywide Health Insurance Access, NYC Human Resources Administration
In short, I am a health insurance problem solver and educator. I lead a dedicated team in the NYC Human Resources Administration’s Office of Citywide Health Insurance Access to expand access to health insurance for New York City residents and small businesses. We achieve our mission in a variety of ways: by administering a Citywide outreach and enrollment assistance initiative known as NYC Health Insurance Link which uses city agency sites, activities and programs to insinuate health insurance outreach and education into New Yorkers’ routine interactions with city services; maintenance of a comprehensive website of health insurance guidance and materials; …

Workforce Mobility and Remote Service Management
One of their main operations is in food services. This critical to any hospital and thus they have “150 food service sites across NSW employing about 4,600 staff,” as well as “three food production units (FPUs)” that produce special and customised meals. All up, they “produce over 24 million meals per year.” Given the nature of the food processing environment, especially in hospitals, it is a “highly regulated” industry with many standards, guidelines and frameworks that need to be adhered to. “However, a lot of work needed to be done to ensure success. To start with, “we worked with BSI …

Benefits of Cloud Security with Transport NSW
Across NSW Government there is a cloud strategy which “states that we must use public cloud first, as the default. We should only use the traditional data centres if it makes sense for our businesses or if we have no other alternative.” However, there are numerous ways to interpret this and there are a number of public cloud platforms. Before delving further, it is therefore important to understand these, and one way to do so is to think of them as “a cloud pizza model.” This was the model that “helped us to overcome and understand it at Transport NSW.” …

Scaling and maturing automation to drive employee and student experience
The main focus of the automation was bots, software programs designed to perform repetitive tasks. But most of these bots “were on individual computers with no consistent coding.” There also wasn’t a lot of control around the bots, but the biggest problem was that there “was a lot of fear from staff around jobs,” specifically that automation could render some roles redundant. Overall, there were a lot of issues and misconceptions. The purpose of automation and RPA is to have “something that is scalable, easy to use and consistent amongst all environments.” Ultimately it is about reducing risks and errors, …

Bots and the Future of Customer Experience
Before the pandemic, “it was our country’s fourth largest export industry.” To engage with potential or current students, in 2018 ENZ decided to develop a chat-bot, which is a simulation of a human conversation, using artificial intelligence (AI) features. This was “a relatively new communications channel,” meaning that “there isn’t an established formula or methodology for chat-bot implementations.” However, at the time the agency was in no rush, and Jamie Crump was studying a “Masters of Technological Futures and developed an approach for the chat-bot project.” ““Nobody wants to engage with something that is dull, slow and hard to navigate …

Women in Leadership Spotlight Series: Colleen McManus HR Programs Manager & Executive Consultant, State of Arizona
Much of my public sector career has been spent in para-military agencies, so I became accustomed to environments that were largely comprised of males, particularly in the key leadership and decision-making roles. I learned that if I regarded and presented myself as a professional first and woman second, other people saw and treated me as a professional. When I moved into senior leadership, I had the opportunity to mentor other women and create development programs for all staff in these environments, which helped to bring more diversity and inclusion in leadership roles. Throughout my career, I have been immersed in …
