London Borough of Hackney, one of the original signatories of the Local Digital Declaration, weren’t just looking at service transformation as a project with an endpoint but one that enables them to adapt and do it efficiently.

Combining an agile approach with commercial off-the-shelf software was a key step in the council’s long-term service transformation plan. Having identified an opportunity for a quick win in improving its service for people to report a change in circumstance in their Benefits,  Hackney created a multi-disciplinary team, that through their experiences were able to discover the right outcomes and understand the needs of the user.

The work being done by Hackney means 24/7 access to the digital service, a reduction in processing times and better management reporting & analytics with additional potentially significant savings which in turn will benefit the council and its citizens.
