Make a Service Blueprint Collaboratively

Source: Solving Public Problems, Chapter 5
ABOUT THIS WORKSHEET:

Service blueprinting involves developing a step-by-step rundown of how a government delivers a service and how a resident applies for such a service. Such a process map makes it easier to spot problems and opportunities for improvement.

TIPS:

1 Use interviews and surveys of individuals and groups to capture their experiences.
 2 Observe the process of public servants and residents going through the process.
 3 Do this work collaboratively to identify existing problems or predict points of failure or opportunities for improvement.
