  5. Governments are trying to move closer to citizens – sentiment analysis from social media can be a useful vehicle in this journey • How do citizens feel about the agency’s new programmes and policies? • What are the most talked about programmes? Is it good or bad? • What are the most positively talked about attributes in the agency’s programmes? Can the agency replicate it to other programmes? • Is there negative chatter that the agency should respond to? • Who are advocates and skeptics of the agency? • Where the agency should be actively listening? Source: Gartner Open Government Maturity Model Building such insight is a daunting task because of the volume, variety, velocity and veracity of information that social media can generate.

Mental Healthis the most talked about topic among Healthcare initiatives • Disability Compensation, Insurance, and Pension contribute heavily towards negative sentiments, whereas Employment Benefits, Dependent’s Assistance, and Home LoanBenefitsare talked in positive light. • July 2012 hit all time high negative sentiment, because of a single news • Root Cause Analysis • The agency was suffering from huge back-logs in claims processing • Awareness of benefits and serviceswas little among its clients. Agency needed to transform its outreach activities. • Agency had a poor social media strategy.
