The challenge

Eleven departments had grown up around separate laws and funding lines. Citizens dealt with several of them for a single request, and nobody owned the end-to-end result.

What we did

We mapped the twenty most common citizen journeys, designed five service lines around them and set decision rights for each. A single dashboard replaced fourteen separate reports, and we supported the move over nine months.

The result

Requests now have one owner from start to finish. Turnaround fell by a third in the first year, and the leadership team reviews one set of numbers each month.
