12. Start with services Services are provided by Government to citizens

    The definition varies depending upon the organisation Collaborating with organisations to better understand services

13. Understand user needs Understanding the need a citizen has that

    is met by Government Talking to real users (e.g. carers) and to customer service teams Researching offline materials Measuring search demand and trends Reviewing web analytics

14. Respond to user needs “We’re in the business of meeting

    user needs, not creating content” Needs can be met through a range of content formats Current UK formats Include decision trees, tools, smart answers and more straight forward answers and guides

15. Meet user needs It’s important to understand how well we

    have met a user’s need Analytics helps us understand what people are doing User research helps us to understand what people are trying to do We have two quiet booths for citizens to use when undertaking scenarios Observation room is setup for user researchers and wider team It’s a team sport – teams suggest areas of research

16. Assessing quality of the solution

17. Knitting it all together Original understanding within the UK was

    that needs should be met as efficiently as possible through a single content item Research for care and health showing that journeys across multiple content items becomes more likely

    and Scottish Government
