A Changing World – The perfect storm?Tighter financial constraints
• Funding squeeze on Local Government – 26% and counting• Reduced income due to economic downturn• Increased unemployment → economic hardship → Benefit cap
flee to suburbs ? - flee to Greenwich?• Need to achieve efficiencies now or cuts later• Need to re-shape services– better to transform then move,
rather than move then transform into new Centres

Case Studies –Issues
• Closing of Islington’s Cash Office
• Dealing with the perceptions of Haringey’s Call Centre being cold
Key learning points of these examples are:
• Who is affected, Who are they (Demographics)
• What do they currently do (behavioural histories / Interactions with the Council)
• Why they do what they do – (Attitudinal)
Customer Insight Strategy
Corporate Programme Office
Page 8
Islington example (Closing the Cash Office)• Who – easy! Customers who used the cash office• What they currently do – transaction data in to CRM and
decode histories and other transactional behaviour• Why they use the Cash Office – customers split by type
and then surveyed to find out why that group behaved in that way (segmentation)
Outcome
Q:What did we want them to do?
A:Stop using the cash office!
Customer Insight Strategy
Corporate Programme Office
Page 9
Islington example (Closing the Cash Office)How?
• Modelled different types of the changed behaviour we wanted
• Drafted personal letters referring to each customers current behaviour and what they could do differently once the cash office was closed.

Islington example (Closing the Cash Office)Example
Type (market segment) = Housing rent and Council tax cash payer
Narrow Cast Communication = letter states that customer can use 3 named Pay Points which are within 10min walk of their home.
Single core message – Cash office closing (Generic)
Narrow cast message – How individual should change THEIR behaviour and why this make sense for them (Customer specific).

Haringey example (poor perception of service)• Who – pre-selected group based on dissatisfaction / shared profile
• What they currently do – CRM histories
• Why – in depth interviews capturing theme
Output = Generic story that illustrated the weaknesses in our processes for this group.
Outcome = Focus for redesign work. Changed processes that address what we were doing wrong in the eyes of this customer group?

Haringey example (poor perception of service)Who?
• 16-18 year olds who were disabled - Core group.
• Their “family” however defined (friends, carers, etc) – augmented group
Group based on shared profile (segmentation)
Customer Insight Strategy
Corporate Programme Office
Page 13
Haringey example (poor perception of service)How?
• Detailed interviews with core to get theme; theme explored with augmented group.
• Issue journey maps - capturing the root cause, the emotion impact and the impact on those around the core group.
Example
Core issue – access to youth club = youth club inaccessible without helpAugmented Issue = Parking restriction around the youth club make it difficult to safely pick up and drop off, therefore can go if can park.
