Overview

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% said that speed, simplicity, convenience and transparency. 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.

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. Through a mix of presentations and activities, this workshop-style session will give you tools, frameworks and insights to unveil your diverse customers. It will enable you to adopt a customer-centric lens and look beyond siloes to deliver seamless interactions.
