Context • Service only available 9am – 5pm Monday – Friday • ‘Less than even chance of getting to the right place’ “we are government, you as a citizen are required to understand how we are organised and find the public servants you need to deal with”
Context “You are the citizen, our responsibility is to make it as easy as possible for you to do business with us”
Vision – NI Direct • For Citizen: • Allows citizen to interact with government on their terms; • through a simple and transparent single point of contact; • using technologies they are comfortable with; • without needing to know how government is organised. • For Government: • Single point of citizen contact; • that brings together multiple channels; • incorporating a ‘one and done’ service; • using ‘best of breed’ public sector contact and interaction centre processes.
