Speaking at OpenGovWest BC

October 28, 2010 | Posted by Jess McMullin on Events, Gov 2.0, News | 0 comments

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be speaking about citizen experience design at OpenGovWest BC in Victoria on November 10th.

It’s one of the 5 minute lightning talks, so I’m working to pare things down to the core elements.

Business Origami

Business origami is paper prototyping for systems design. It uses simple paper cutouts to represent the different parts of a system: the people, the locations,  the channels used and the specific touchpoints where interactions occur and value is exchanged as a particular scenario unfolds. These cutouts are arranged on a horizontal ...

About Citizen Experience

The Centre for Citizen Experience explores how to improve government and the broader public sector through the power of design innovation. This includes design thinking, strategic design, systemic design, and service design. These design practices draw on customer experience, social sciences, rapid prototyping, business strategy, behavioural economics, and information visualization to address complex social and organizational challenges.

Fundamentally, design is about improving how things work for people. In the public sector, that means applying design to service delivery and strategy, governance, policy and frontline programs, growing internal design capability, changing culture and supporting public service transformation.

Please get in touch to discuss how design innovation can make a meaningful impact in your organization.
