Simplifying Service Transactions & Business Processes

Thursday 12th May 2011
UKAtv Live: Simplifying Service Transactions & Business Processes

Public services are moving inexorably online, and the UK population becoming ever more digitally savvy. But how do we take advantage of the best in technology developments to meet the needs of both the organisation and the citizens it serves? Efficiency is essential, but is agile development the key? Does new technology solve old problems and deliver joined up processes and services? Or does the public sector silo mentality block the holistic thinking needed for a step change in performance?

On the UKA Live panel to debate the key issues:

  • Glyn Evans, Socitm President, Corporate Director of Business Change at Birmingham City Council and CIO Council member
  • Peter Bole, Director of ICT at Kent County Council
  • Alan Banks, Managing Director, Adobe UK
  • Helen Olsen, Managing Editor, ITU and UKauthorITy

Channel Shift - are we moving towards Digital by Default?

UKA Live 20th Mar 2013

Unifying the digital citizen experience

ITU Live 16th Sep 2011

A few years ago, when digital was limited to websites, email or interactive voice response systems, organisations could get away with strategies that allowed them to take a channel by channel approach to experience. However, with the recent explosion of digital devices and their increased capabilities, organisations have come under fire to not only create but also deliver a unified experience across multiple devices and platforms. The boundaries between devices, channels and behaviours are increasingly blurring.
