Natalie Fedie, vice president of customer success at cloud platforms provider Granicus, has said government agencies that seek to facilitate citizen engagement should map the œcitizen journey.
Fedie wrote that in order to map the citizen journey, agencies should know the methods used by the public to interact with a government institution or service and œdetermine the type of experience you want citizens to have.
œProviding services in a customer-focused way often involves centralizing information by subject area so people can access a service without having to first know the government entity from which it is offered, noted Fedie.
Agencies should also œcross-promote programs with other public sector organizations to facilitate collaboration on programs and establish connection with potential stakeholders.
Fedie called on agencies to adopt enterprise software platforms that work to integrate with other tools and facilitate data sharing operations.
œWhether agencies are just starting out with digital engagement or want to increase their efforts, they must first define their desired outcomes and then identify the relevant audiences, she added.
