Moving Needles: Operationalizing Customer Experience (CX) in Government

GOV Experience Beyond the Survey
Government has realized the need for superior customer experience as a core strategy in fulfilling its collective missions. The importance of experience has been underscored by recent Executive Orders, and is a common theme in the recent Biden Admin’s PMA. The “What” and "Where" to focus on to improve that experience is clearly defined. However, the mechanics of “How” we improve Experience at scale comes with massive disruption across the entire Govt ecosystem and community. How can we achieve innovation and transformation through an Experience-Centric lens without significant disruption?

And when those areas are augmented with automation, the results are improved citizen, customer, and vendor satisfaction. This session explores how to get started today with document generation and contract management.
