Citizen Experience Design for Government Training Course

 Citizen Experience Design for Government Training Course 

Introduction 

Citizen experience design (CXD) is an essential strategy for modern governments seeking to enhance service delivery, strengthen public trust, and foster transparency. By placing citizens at the center of public service processes, government institutions can improve satisfaction, reduce bureaucracy, and deliver more efficient, accessible, and equitable services. Citizen Experience Design for Government Training Course provides participants with the knowledge, frameworks, and practical tools to implement citizen-centered approaches, including journey mapping, service blueprinting, digital interface design, behavioral insights, and performance metrics for public sector impact.
