Customer centricity in the public sector

Using our Customer Centricity Maturity Model, Amanda will discuss how centring around the customer within the public sector can make a real difference to strategy, governance and people.

It can be incredibly useful, in certain circumstances, to move conversations away from ‘user’ or even ‘people’ or ‘humans’.

For example, all public sector services should be designed to meet user needs and solve the whole problem. However, this places user centred design and the end user at the ‘service’ level where user centred design thinking is aligned to specific roles in a larger multi-disciplinary team.

Because of systemic shortcomings, the team and decisions are largely structured around the product or service rather than the wider system or organisation.

During the session, Amanda will introduce their customer centricity model and the dimensions that it consists of. Amanda will discuss how it can be used by an organisation to structure change and to align teams around a common goal and understanding and show the demonstrable benefits this has for organisations, its employees and their customers.
