Challenges to Local Government

"...I passionately believe that we will deliver our ambitions for our communities if we seize the opportunities that the transformation agenda is presenting to us all and really start to address the key transformational issues - How can we understand our customers better and design and deliver local services more effectively? How do we forge effective partnerships with other local public service providers? How do we inspire our staff to do the best job possible and work in new ways? How can we make use of scarce resources and mimimise duplication and ineffeciencies?"

Shared Services

Challenge to Partnerships

Using the experience of front line service advisers and local government strategic leaders, IIZUKA has designed a software package dedicated to simplifying the problems of multi service delivery in the public sector. Called IIZUKA Citizen Services Manager, transformational government partnerships can successfully deploy Front Office Shared Services (FOSS) that efficiently coordinate and manage delivery by all types of service organisations within the partnership.

Joining up the islands

Highly citizen-centric, IIZUKA Citizen Services Manager (CSM) differs from the traditional CRM approach by enabling Customer Service Advisers to seamlessly 'join up the islands' for the citizen at the customer interface. The emphasis is on the adviser getting things right first time, or, if this is not practical, taking responsibility for managing any referrals and being accountable for delivery.

The effect is that the citizen has a single view of government rather than experiencing the government having a single view of them.

With IIZUKA CSM citizens do not need to understand how the public services work. They get an effective and tailored response, with clear expectations set, leading to less stress and greater satisfaction. They are kept informed of progress and have a single place to go for follow up.

Simplifying Complexity

IIZUKA Citizen Services Manager addresses the challenge to partnerships to deploy effective shared services on several levels:
