Business TransformationThe move to on-line services will enable ITSA to:

• move to client-centric delivery of services to improve community confidence

• make our services more accessible, transparent and responsive

• provide more consistent outcomes for clients• provide better tools for our staff• enable more effective workflow management• allow creation of centres of excellence• facilitate more value adding / less manual

processing

Where we are now…

• Multiple systems with data bridges

• Multiple client interactions

• Business processes and case progress not readily transparent

• Service only accessible with staff assistance

• High cost to ITSA and the client

• Not aligned with Government direction

What we need to do to get there…

• Map our services• Workforce planning strategy• Detailed standard operating

procedures• Engage our staff (what’s in it for me?)• Engage our clients and stakeholders• Train our staff so they can train others
