Next Wave Client Service Delivery - Determining the Path to Effective Use of Content Syndication
Making it easier for clients to find your services

Speaker names and titles:
Dan Batista, Director, On-line Services, Canada Business
Stephen Karam, Partner, Systemscope

Remember terms like "storefront", "single window", and "one-stop shop" when it came to creating strategies for online service delivery? These concepts are making way for the next wave of service delivery for the Government of Canada. Successfully employed by the Australian Government, "virtual entry points" using content syndication allow a government organization to effectively and efficiently reach clients through a network of partners and intermediaries. Locally, Canada Business has taken a lead role in exploring content syndication within the Canadian Federal Government context.

The Road to Service Maturity Part 2 - The Enhancement of Service Maturity
Can we build a better�service organization without knowing what we are selling?

Speaker names and titles:
Kate Voltan, Senior eTrade GOL Advisor, e-Business, Export Development Canada
Denis Barbeau, Partner, Systemscope

Can an organization truly deliver a better client service experience without fully understanding the service context of the organisation? The logical answer is NO. Why then are so many service environments and delivery channels being re-architected to meet this goal without the appropriate organizational inputs?

Systemscope has worked with a number of government service organizations to develop tools and methodologies that are used to analyze service challenges and gaps, and evolve service environments to better meet client outcomes.

Kate and Denis discuss the merits of using these tools and demonstrate how Export Development Canada effectively used a service Inventory and an Exporter/GoC interaction model to help improve the corporation's services to small and medium-sized exporters.
