Channel Migration: Customer Self Serve

Date: Tuesday, 28 February, 2012

Time: 9:30 - 16:00

Location: Manchester Venue TBC,

Migrating to Self Serve 

With the concept of 'Digital by Default' and the push to deliver ever more efficient customer services, practitioners are turning to migrating access to cheaper channels.  The debate around channel migration is maturing; we no longer trust that costs will automatically fall if services are placed 'online' instead of via the telephone.  It depends on: what service is enabled online? to what depth? what breadth? is it transactional? is supporting technology sufficient to prevent double entry keying? will it create avoidable contact elsewhere? cost the organisation more elsewhere in the process? and so on.

From buying products online to online banking, the world of self service in the private sector has grown at an astonishing rate in recent years.   Practitioners in the public sector are beginning to catch up as they are talking more and more about enabling customers and patients to self-serve as a way to reduce costs.

This session will explore some of the questions that you may have around self service in the public sector including:

  • what good examples of self service are out there?
  • what are the pitfalls of customer self service?
  • Will self service really deliver efficiency savings?
  • What are ways to offer self service?
  • Which services would work best for self service?
  • Does self service automatically mean transactional web services or are there other options?
  • Who has made efficiency savings in this area?
  • What is the business case for self serve?
