Service One – Integrated Service Delivery and the Need for a Paradigm Shift
Stephen Dixon
Service New Brunswick
Service vs Enforcement/Monopoly
-Private sector – service quality and standards
-Government regulations enforcement interactions with public
-Putting a square peg in a round hole – public vs private is different
It’s not about the technology – but we keep talking about the technology
-About people, business processes
-Lost in forest vs trees
Service New Brunswick
-Incorporated ini 1992
-Offering teleservices in 1997
-Online services in 1999
-~300 services
-Continues to expand via multiple channels
Is it perfectly integrated?
-Start patching a bunch of technologies together
-Over the counter – offers 300 services
-Teleservices – much less
-Online – much much less
Often don’t offer services to citizens because don’t want to offer things if
can’t do it right or perfect
-Have to just try it
Keep it simple…but do simple
System Reuse – Common Level of Service

(access to hundreds of researchers)

-Research agenda, foster a culture of innovation, environmental scanning
-Hardest part is creating a culture of innovation
-Bring in people on innovation teams – province, municipal, private sector
Innovation – implementation of a new idea

-Innovation is not easy
-Innovation learning
-Prove infrastructure and tools (they use Sharepoint for KM)
SNB Municipal Partnerships

Most everything is really SIMPLE just NOT DOING IT

Take calculated risks.
But take risks!
Clients don’t care who does
what – they just want effective service deliverys
Expectations continueto increase – an integrated, holistic approach must be
