Why it matters

Achieving ‘customer focus' in any sector is not straightforward. We often find organisations making symbolic gestures - for instance setting up Customer First training programmes or implementing contact centres - but without really having the leadership conviction or customer focus across the whole organisation to overcome the many barriers to improving delivery.

However, the rewards for realising the benefits of good customer management are extremely high - driving efficiency savings, improved customer and employee engagement and participation and optimising organisational performance. The problem is often knowing where to start.

Key challenges

Today's customer challenges include:

• Shaping and delivering public policy and services which are genuinely customer focused
  
• Achieving better customer and community engagement and participation in local government
  
• Using customer insight to deliver service improvement and evaluate policy success
