• some have started and doing well
• some have started and are stuck
• some haven’t started
Where are councils at?
“Every new area we look at unravels something else - there is an endless opening of doors”
“Thought we had bought one thing, but it turns out to be something else”
“There seems to be a lot of hidden costs”
“There are lots of silos… they all think they are doing well”
Integration
•people•process•technology•information•partnerships•policies
not about just throwing everything together
Benefits Realisation
•cashable•non-cashable•tangible•non-tangible
multiple benefits can and should be identified
for any CRM project
‘Members and senior managers think they’ve already done it – they don’t see it as being an iterative process’
• fear, uncertainty, doubt• don’t work within ideal conditions• need to manage politics• acknowledge mistakes…
…learn from mistakes• technical mistakes will have been made…
…how are they going to be fixed?• housing example…
Change Management
Transformation
• leverage capacity by improving the way the council deals with customers
• move high volume, low intensity contacts from inexpensive channels (such as face to face) to lower cost channels (such as web, sms, email), without affecting the quality of service
• improve the quality of service
• measure customer requirements
• profile customer needs
“…soak up the easy stuff to enable capacity to be increased to deal more effectively with complex face to face interactions”
• Community of practice • 800 people on mailing list• huge amount of knowledge
and expertise• need to capture this
knowledge and make it available + visible
How does STEP fit in?
• case studies• briefing papers• knowledge hub• information exchange• information
distribution• ‘sanity check’
• access to a network• problem solving• STEP bulletin• mailing list
Events:• CRM problem solving workshops• CRM and Information management• What are the issues for district
councils?• Technical integration for non-
technical people• How to calculate the costs of CRM?
“We have a big CRM in our council, but we wonder if it will ever get properly used”
“The CRM in our council is not the one that the current CRM project team would have chosen - we have inherited it”
“The CRM has cost a lot of money, there is now a question as to whether it is costing too much money”
“It’s a tool; people in the organisation need to learn how to use it, and in some cases, they need to be shown”
