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.

Director General, Internet and Intranet Development, Service Canada

Achieving service maturity requires not only a considered understanding
of the enterprise's service goals, but also a sophisticated understanding
of client motivations, preferences and needs in accessing programs
and services.
Service Canada will be the face of the Government of Canada for
the delivery of government services to individual Canadians. Michele
Goshulak explains how Service Canada has employed sophisticated
information architecture principles and user research to support
the design and development of its new Web presence.
Ian Barnes discusses and demonstrates the British Council's highly successful implementation of client journeys.
Jane and Lindsay review key methods of exposing and improving the online client experience.

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.
