Service Transformation offers

The IIPS presents a range of techniques which can be applied to uncover insight to drive service transformation.

Customer experience evaluation
There are different ways of evaluating service
experience and customer service performance
which encompass a range of qualitative and
quantitative techniques. We apply a tested
and proven service transformation cycle which
draws on customer satisfaction surveys,
customer journey mapping and frontline
feedback as applicable.

Segmentation
Segmentations are particularly valuable
to the public sector as they improve
understanding of customer needs, attitudes
and behaviours with the aim of supporting
more strategic thinking and policy making,
better designed services and tailored
communications.

Public sector innovation
Policymakers are facing huge challenges
today, from the immediate need for efficiency
savings to understanding how to move in line
with the complex structural, technological and
social shifts occurring around us. We can help
support strategists and policymakers develop
more effective innovative approaches in the
face of this landscape through our structured
and proven process.

Insight audits
Despite significant investment in customer
research by the public sector, evidence
suggests that the full value is not always fully
realised. An insight audit can help ensure that
existing insight assets in the organisation
are taken advantage of before committing
resource to new programmes, and – most
importantly – that research programmes
are properly embedded within service
improvement strategies.

Customer journey research
Customer journey research (CJR) helps
organisations align services with their
customers needs, from an emotional as
well as practical point of view. It examines
the expectations, points of connection and
disconnection that citizens have in their service interactions, and helps find ways to remove or positively transform these points of contact. CJR can also help provide better value in service delivery.

Behaviour change – from insight to action
There is a growing acceptance that shifting
individual and group behaviour rests at the
heart of effective policy delivery. But changing
behaviour is complex and challenging.
Understanding the incentives and barriers to
change is vital to identify what levers will be
most effective. The IIPS can support behaviour
change strategies through a range of insight
and evaluation tools – all underpinned by
a sound understanding of the established
psychological, social and political theories and
models.

Deliberative consultation
There is often a gap between policy goals and
public experience. What the citizen needs
and desires can be different from the aims of
decision makers. Engagement and consultation seeks to bridge this gap by actively involving stakeholders and the public in the research process so participants are engaged in discussions about complex issues and in shaping decisions, enabling a step towards the ideal of service and policy co–production.
