Fragmented journey from the end user perspective

• Inflexibility• Not user driven• Long development

cycles• Development

pinch point• ICT dependency• No corporate plan

The current issues (probably quite common)…

• Duplicated• Poor quality• Inefficient• Disconnected• Organisational

focused• No corporate plan

Technology Content / Services

Our challenge – moving away from current thinking

www.devon.gov.uk

Libraries Registration Planning

We’re building for a shrinking organisation• Deep integration no longer sustainable• Single platform no longer viable or sustainable• Trusted access compromised • Intelligence (user / business) is moving outside

“Other services are being divested or subject to new partnership arrangements and are not beingdeveloped by the council…”

The single “system” approach…

Moving forward

Smaller OrganisationBroker

AdvocateGreater Understanding of Locality

Responsibility and Accountability for ServicesNot about Delivery

Content to people - NOT people to websites

= the same content (syndicated – not duplicated)

What help can I have for ….?

Hub, Trusted Branded,Information point

Powered by

Single Platform DCCAgile Core

Amazon Model Yell.com ModelTraditional Model

Devon County Council as “Amazon” (marketplace and signposting)

Too Big, Unsustainable, Inflexible, Expensive, Always catching up.

No Added Value, No accountability, No Trust, Not user friendly

Core Information, relationship, accountability, value from trusted brand

We need a content strategyNOT

a traditional website strategy

Our domain is bigger than our website

In or out? (crude but…)

• Accountability and Feedback explicitly linked to what is or isn’t included in our domain

• Ensure consistency– Search– Accessibility– Usability– Design

Global Header Global Search

Underpinned by a consistent approach to: • Content Standards and Quality (standards driven)• Reuse of content, avoid duplication (open by default)• Basic design principles (user driven and evidence based)• Iterative approach to development (agile and dynamic)

Accessibility

Feedback ?• influenced by divestment• bigger issue linked to commissioning contracts

A trusted access point

Reviewing our content – reducing duplication

If this content exists…. why do we have this content as well?

Simply“Bonkers”

Changing our thinking…

• Standards Driven (design, content, experience)

• User Driven (evidence based)

• Commissioning (working with others)

• Develop through iteration (agile / responsive)

• Refreshed technology (future proofing)

Our content strategy is more about an approach and enabling change

Its only just started
