Appendix #3: Transformation Model

(Developed based on service vision work for Canadians, businesses, and international clients)

1.   Grouping and rationalising of related information/transactions to facilitate access

Components of this stage include:

  • Organisations: primarily working within and/or across departments and agencies
  • Channels: unique, with separate controls, structures, authorities
  • Offerings: one-size fits all
  • Enablers: use of horizontal delivery mechanisms at the federal level (e.g., gateways/portals), but still multiple points of presence that focus on the specific program and channel, separate departmental business processes and back-office systems, separate IM approaches

2.   Development of interoperability across organisations and/or channels to personalise service

Components of this stage include:

  • Organisations: working within and across departments and agencies and/or jurisdictions
  • Channels: interoperable, with "work-arounds" to move from one channel to the other
  • Offerings:, one-to-small group based on basic client segmentation; consistency across channels
  • Enablers: use of horizontal delivery mechanisms (e.g., Canada Business Service Centres), common service standards, interoperable back-office systems and business processes, removal of policy barriers

3.   Integration in order to offer bundled solutions

Components of this stage include:

  • Organisations: shared services within and across departments and agencies and/or jurisdictions (agreements to work together, etc.)
  • Channels: integrated, with seamless movement from one channel to another
  • Offerings: tend to be end-to-end; self-serve across different channels, tailored to specific challenges and requests
  • Enablers: rationalised points of presence, integrated cross-organisational business processes and back-office systems, common metadata and taxonomy, rationalisation of related policies

4.   Provision of a complete and "seamless" service experience (differentiated offerings/common enablers)

Components of this stage include:

  • Organisations: harmonisation across departments and agencies and/or jurisdictions; the client cannot distinguish between the various organisations involved (e.g., alignment of regulations, etc.)
  • Channels: used by more than one organisation, and collaboratively maintained and supported
  • Offerings: differentiated; based on the unique needs and circumstances of the clients
  • Enablers: shared points of presence that use integrated channels, transformational process management, shared services, shared knowledge base, enabling policies/legislation
