24 January 2024, 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM AEDT | Online
Training Overview
Develop a shared vision, identify priorities and deliver seamless services
As the public sector strives to deliver seamless and personalised omnichannel services, it must also grapple with the increasing complexity of service delivery. From diverse stakeholders, growing demand for seamlessness, digital accessibility and equity amongst a host of other factors. In this ever-evolving landscape, service Blueprinting emerges as an effective tool to navigate these risks and challenges.
It is a methodology embraced by governments worldwide, from Singapore’s GovTech to the UK’s GDS. Service Blueprinting, in essence, is a visual representation that maps the end-to-end journey of a service, providing a comprehensive view of customer interactions and the underlying processes. It helps government agencies understand, analyse, and optimise their services.
This online course, “Service Blueprinting for the Public Sector,” is designed to empower public sector professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary for this transformative journey. It offers a deep dive into service blueprinting, providing participants with the ability to better comprehend current services, detect weaknesses, and identify opportunities for improvement. By visualising the interconnected relationships between customers, employees, and internal processes, it uncovers potential enhancements and reduces redundancy. Furthermore, it sheds light on the roles of key stakeholders in the service ecosystem.
This course encourages collaboration and benchmarking among peers, fosters learning by doing, and provides practical takeaways that can be implemented immediately. In an era where the public sector’s digital transformation is both an imperative and a challenge, this course equips professionals to navigate and lead the way forward.
