We take it for granted that technology brings people closer together and improves our access to essential products and services. If you can’t imagine life without your smartphone, it’s easy to forget that people who can’t or don’t want to engage with the latest technology are being left behind. For example, there have recently been reports that cashless payment systems for car parking in the UK are seeing older drivers unfairly hit with fines.

That’s composable, and it’s important to get it right. Customers and your board expect you to be in new channels and to adapt quickly to market change.

Operational Controls are Worthless if They Aren’t Maintained. At approximately 5 pm on Monday 22nd June 2009, a Washington Metro train heading towards Shady Grove smashed into the rear of the train ahead of it. The Automatic Train Control system had instructed the train to travel at full speed (55 mph). When the driver of the moving train, Jeanice McMillan, saw the stationary carriages ahead, she applied the emergency breaks, but it was too late to avoid the crash.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Let’s state this simply: Visitors to a government office are more than a number. But that said, sometimes that number is large, and each visitor can have complex needs. The government employees honestly want to help but are often expected to be miracle workers. They can feel under-resourced and overworked, trying to resolve each visit. Citizens, in turn, can feel just as helpless, exhausted by the processes, caught in a tangle of red tape, and, often, angry.
