Customer Journey Map
for General public administration activities (ISIC 8411)
High relevance due to the urgent need for digital transformation and the reduction of citizen-facing administrative burden, which is a major contributor to legitimacy decay in public sectors.
Strategic Overview
Customer Journey Mapping in public administration shifts the focus from bureaucratic process-centricity to citizen-centric service delivery. By visualizing the end-to-end interactions between citizens and government agencies, administrators can identify points of friction, information silos, and administrative burdens that currently erode public trust and operational efficiency.
3 strategic insights for this industry
Administrative Burden Reduction
Mapping reveals redundant 'information collection' stages where citizens provide the same data to multiple agencies, highlighting critical integration failures.
Digital Exclusion Identification
Journeys highlight 'digital deserts' where services are exclusively online, creating exclusion risks for demographics with lower digital literacy.
Prioritized actions for this industry
Implement 'Once-Only' Principle Architecture
Minimize citizen effort by forcing back-end data integration across departments, ensuring citizens never provide the same document twice.
