“Citizen-Centred Service incorporates citizens’ concerns at every stage of the service design and delivery process; that is, citizens’ needs become the organizing principle around which the public interest is determined and service delivery is planned.”

CITIZEN-CENTERED GOVERNMENT
Listening to Citizens, their Needs and their Priorities for Government Action
Meeting Citizens Needs through Integrated Government Policy and Integrated Service and
Regulation Delivery (“One Government-One Public Sector”)…. In order to improve
government performance in the eyes of citizens
Closing the Gap
“Governments … must collaborate if they hope … to operate efficiently and effectively …. Collaboration is the only strategy that allows today’s public sector organizations to reach across jurisdictions … to adapt themselves to a fast-changing societal landscape and to significantly improve their ability to deliver services at internet speed.”

Deloitte: Integrated Service Delivery is Essential for Efficiency and Effectiveness
How the Canadian Public Sector Collaborates to Promote Citizen Centred Service
In1997, the Federal, Provincial and Municipal Governments created two Councils to work together to promote integrated, citizen and business-centred service delivery:
The Public Sector Service Delivery Council
The Public Sector Chief Information Officers Council
How the Canadian Public Sector Collaborates to Promote Citizen Centred Service
The mission of the PSSDC is to be a catalyst for: sharing information; identifying common challenges; initiating research and gaining insight into client needs; developing practical solutions; and, linking up government services wherever possible. The Council’s intent is to ensure that Canadian public services are at the forefront of providing excellent, modernized services which result in a customer experience which meets or exceeds citizens’ and the business community’s expectations.
The mission of the PSCIOC is to enable enhanced service to the Canadian public through collaboration across governments and demonstrated leadership in the management of information and technology.
1.How the Canadian Public Sector Collaborates to Promote Citizen Centred
Service
In 2002, the two Councils created the Institute for Citizen Centred Service to serve as their joint platform to:
Undertake research on citizens’ and businesses’ service needs
Manage biennial national surveys of citizens and businesses service satisfaction and their priorities for improvement
Promote the use of the Common Measurements Tool to measure and benchmark client satisfaction
Deliver common training and manage the professional service management certification (CSM)

Canada: Systematic Listening to Citizens and Business, and Improving Performance
87% of businesses agree good service from government is essential to a healthy business climate
TCOB2 research demonstrates empirical link – good service increases confidence in public institutions
Two-thirds of business clients reported access problems – each access problem causes a substantial drop in satisfaction – e.g. getting bounced from one person to another and lack of response to telephone messages each reduce satisfaction levels by 25 out of 100 points
Telephone is the most used channel – 62% of clients used it at some point during their recent experience
Two-thirds of service experiences are multi-channel – business clients report using 2.1 channels per service
The drivers of satisfaction are the same as for citizens.
The overall service quality trend is upward – the average rating across all services to business in Canada is currently about 70 out of 100, and rising.
Creating Integrated, One-Stop Service Delivery Solutions across the Public Sector
Why Citizens and Businesses Need One-Stop Government Service:
Citizens and Businesses often need more than one government service – especially when dealing with life events such as birth, death, travel, migration, unemployment, and business registration
40% of Citizens did not know where to start to find the service they needed
Two thirds of Citizens said it was difficult to access the people or information they needed
Citizens are often required to manage the “white space” between related services
( e.g. Business Registration, Deaths, Travel, Migration) The private sector has built one-stop shopping centers for citizen and
business convenience, and citizens expect the same convenience from government
Governments are also trying to reduce service delivery costs through the development of one-stop service.
Canada: has One-Stop Service Delivery for citizens and business at the National, Provincial and Local Government Levels: over 500 offices, plus a 1-800-OCANADA call center, and award winning E-service
Canada: 600 one-stop Service Canada offices
Canada: all levels of government are co-located at the Ottawa City Hall as aOne-Stop Government “Department Store”

Government One-Stop Services Are Expanding World Wide
In Europe, South America, the USA and Asia, many countries are implementing one-stop services for citizens and businesses.
In Asia, countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Singapore, are among the many APO members implementing one-stop services.
To be successful, these integrated, one-stop services require strong collaboration across departments, and levels of government, as well as strong collaboration as between IT managers and service managers.
Australia’s Centrelink: over 300 one-stop offices for citizens and businesses, plus mobile vans,
one-stop E-service, and call center service

(The World Bank Ranks Singapore Number 1 in East Asia for Ease of Doing Business)
CSC is meant to be a low cost vehicle for Government institutions to deliver eGovernment services to the rural population of India in the most cost-effective manner.
They are the physical front-end for delivery of eGovernment Services to citizens and accepting requests for government services from the citizen via eForms. They are also be used for delivery of services and interaction with private service providers.
The program has created 100,000 CSCs across India`s rural and remote locations of India by 2012.

Conclusion: Three Types of One-Stop Centers are Emerging in Asia and Globally
1. Information Gateways (One-stop Websites, Information Counters, and Call Referral Centres)
2. Service “Department Stores” which provide a wide range of government services in one place, either on-line or store-front (e.g. Service Canada or the Malaysian UTCs)
3. Service Boutiques with one-stop services bundled by client or by related services (e.g. businesses, senior citizens, health and social services)

Overcoming the Barriers to Integrated Service Delivery Political and Public Service Leadership Perfecting Partnerships Establishing the governance framework Integrating IT Systems and Processes Marketing one-stop services to Citizens
Overcoming the Barriers to Integrated Channel Delivery (ICD)
Restructuring organizations to provide for integrated management of the channels
Integrating channels to achieve consistency and inter-operability
Achieving Excellence in One-Stop Service Delivery- Lessons Learned
Service Delivery1. Make Sure We Understand Service Citizens and Businesses Needs
2. It is Not Easy: Integrating service delivery across departments and jurisdictions is a new and difficult challenge in public management. But other countries have already done it, and have overcome the problems and have experience to share.
3. There are Necessary Conditions: To succeed, political leaders and central agencies must provide the political, bureaucratic and financial leadership to achieve horizontal service delivery in a vertical service universe. Public Sector Executives need to learn about the management of one-stop service delivery and build OSSCs Communities of Practice.
4. It will Take Time: The stronger the political leadership, the shorter the time needed to implement one-stop service delivery (for example, one-stop for business services in Singapore and Hong Kong). Streamlining regulations and processes across agencies is essential to success but takes time.
5. New Governance Arrangements will be Needed over Time: But virtual collaboration on one-stop Internet Portals call centres, and co-located One-Stop Shops can be accomplished via partnership arrangements.
