2.2. Client Centric
Name: Client-Centric
Statement: Deliver high-quality, timely and accurate services that are responsive to current and emerging client needs and to continue to innovate and meet new standards of excellence.
Rationale:
• Clients expect seamless access to a suite of integrated programs and services based on their individual needs and abilities.
Implications:
• Services must be built around client needs
• Clients must be provided with a “one-stop service” that is simple and intuitive.
• Client and employee feedback data must be collected and analyzed to improve services and inform implementation.
• Clients are able to determine their level of engagement with the government and/or department as permitted by legislation, public policy and program policy
• Services must be delivered across multiple channels using modern architectures.
• Where appropriate, clients are directed into lower cost channels.
• Service levels must be defined for client services provided.
• Services must be measured to improve performance.
• A cross-government strategy must be built for common citizen and business data sets (e.g. name, address) and common client applications (e.g. authentication, payments, notifications).
• Services should be accessible by the client at anytime, anywhere and on any device.
