How can government and public services connect Citizen Experience Excellence to lower costs and improve citizen satisfaction?
Government and public service organisations have an enormous challenge; simultaneously delivering large scale effective, efficient services for all alongside individualised experiences for each.
Based on 14 years of leading the world’s largest customer experience benchmark, the 3rd annual KPMG UK Citizen Experience Excellence Report offers government and public services unique insights to meet citizen expectations.
In 2024, as citizen acceptance of digital channels reaches a tipping point, there’s unprecedented opportunity to leverage technology for cost reduction and enhanced citizen satisfaction.
Despite significant efforts and investments in technology in that there has been little improvement in public services productivity since 2021.
By examining the gap between citizen expectations and experiences, we provide a crucial view for public services leaders on how to deliver real human value, at low cost, building trust in the process.
Whilst human interaction will always remain critical in public services, citizens are also crying out for substantially improved simple, seamless digital experiences
