Key Messages1. Its Digital by Default.
2. Its Demand and Channel Management.
3. Expect Transparency not Specific Targets.

1. Digital by Default
Still saying it…. Still true….
![Page 4: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What do we mean by default?
1. Digital becomes the first choice starting point when designing new end to end services.
2. Digital becomes the channel and approach you aim to move existing customers and services to.
3. It becomes necessary to make a clear case for using an alternative to digital.
![Page 5: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Its about getting to the point where you really are using the technology to its best effect....
....and really changing expectations and behaviour.
![Page 6: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What Does this mean Practically?
• Actively shifting contact out of your face to face, off the phone and out of your back office.
• Directing the customer wherever possible to ‘self serve’.
• Changing the way you do things in the ‘back office’ to allow automation of processes.
![Page 7: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why Do IT?
![Page 8: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why is Digital Better?
1 It can provide information very rapidly and cheaply. Which is faster, more flexible and cheaper than paper or ‘in person’ communication.
• Student Loans will soon be a paper free service.
• Paper applications will be provided only to those with a genuine inability to use the online form.
• This saves printing costs, paper handling costs and the costs of transposing data fro paper.
![Page 9: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why is Digital Better?
But…..
• You have to know what users want to know and provide it to them fully and quickly.
• The users have to trust that information without ‘validating’ via another channel.
• You have to shut down the printing press.
![Page 10: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why is Digital Better?
2. It allows customers to ‘self serve’. Which is 24/7 and doesn't require a paid human agent to mediate it or an office or call centre to deliver it.
• DWP will soon offer a number of services via online ‘smart’ forms that self check then pass applications electronically for processing.
• HMRC has agreed interfaces with accounting software suppliers that allow automated returns from the software to the departments site.
![Page 11: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why is Digital Better?
But,
• The customer must be able to do this immediately and easily.
• They must be able to do it without your support.
• Its got to offer them some benefit over what they previously did.
![Page 12: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why is Digital Better?
3 It allows the automation of simple decision processes. Which is 24/7 and again doesn't require a back office of humans to mediate it and frees up personnel to do higher value work.
• DWP is introducing automation to its services that will allow simple ‘rules based’ claims to be processed without routine human intervention.
• DVLA already does this for vehicle tax which is a near fully automated process.
![Page 13: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why is Digital Better?
But….
• The process has to be simple.
• The rules that mediate it need to be simple.
• You have to shut down the paper system.
![Page 14: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Its Hard Work
The savings and improvements won’t just ‘happen’ you have to
work hard to realise the benefits from ‘Digital’
![Page 15: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
2. Demand Management:The benefits are pretty obvious, digital should be cheaper, quicker and ‘better’.
But, in reality it can be tricky…. People and channels have inertia in their behaviour, the shift has to be managed.
![Page 16: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The desired end state is intuitively obvious
Telephony
WebF 2 F
Post
‘Back Office’
More online and automated services
Fewer postal contacts
Fewer face to face contacts & higher value
Potentially the same number of telephony contacts, but delivering higher value ‘one stop’ services
Much smaller ‘back office’
![Page 17: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

But,
Channels behave differently in the way volume affects their cost….
…and tracking costs can be tricky.

Visits are not outcomes….
and tracking outcomes is something public sector websites are not yet good at.
![Page 24: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In order for digital delivery to deliver net benefits typically you
need to deliver:
• High Visit Volumes.
• Low Website Costs.
• High ‘conversion’ of visits to desired Outcomes.

Minimise Web Costs
• Use of the same basic online service for multiple services. [ Paypal, e-bay, amazon, last minute, directgov?]
• Use available ‘off the shelf’ components. [ paypal, address finder, googlemap, directgov? ]
• Encourage and incentivise customers to use digital channels and complete transactions in these channels. [ amazon, e-bay, PCWorld, Tesco]
![Page 27: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The internet is a paragon of virtue in terms of recycling and re-use of basic tools to save costs.
![Page 28: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Getting OutcomesThe last and most important element of digital delivery is tracking your outcomes so you actually know digital is delivering benefits:
• Transactions completed fully online.
• Reduction in the cost of other channels and total overall ‘cost to serve’.
• Improved customer satisfaction.
These require ‘whole organisation’ effort.
![Page 29: Digital by Default](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061121/546e8630af79599a798b499b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Behaviour Change
• The ‘benefit’ and ‘risk’ must look and feel like a good deal from the outset to encourage new behaviour.
• You can’t ‘bully’ its got to be hearts and minds for customers and your own people.
• The new experience has to be positive and re-enforce the benefits of digital.

3.Targets, Metrics?There is a clear need for metrics and management information, but I see these as being internal and peer to peer.
Transparency and efficiency may be the drivers, but the details of how you achieve the necessary changes in your organisations will fall to you.
