Salsa’s RaC consulting process
The scope and outcome of the service is customisable, and Salsa will work with your project stakeholders to agree on the scope prior to commencement. While every engagement is unique, Salsa’s RaC consulting services generally follow the below process:
Assessment of rules/legislation
- Workshops to identify potential legislation, policies and regulations that could be encoded
- Assessment of identified rules for suitability and value provided to both agency and customers
- High-level design of what RaC service delivery would look like for suitable rules/legislation
Outcome: Ready for rules mapping and validation prior to encoding
Service design
- User research may include questionnaires, observing users’ interactions with the system/prototypes, focus groups and other methods to gain an insight into users’ needs, behaviours and motivations.
- User journey map provides a visual account of where your customers come into contact with you — the customer touchpoints. The customer journey map provides a holistic view of the customer experience from their point of view, allowing you to walk in your customers’ shoes.
- High-level, user-centred design of RaC digital services. Service design analyses existing services to create and design new services focusing on customers and how to best meet their needs.
Outcome: Ready for user interface design/user experience design and prototyping
Recommend solution architecture
- Evaluation of existing infrastructure and digital service delivery architecture, expected load and security requirements
- Review of proposed RaC digital services and assessment of architecture options to meet requirements
- Recommended end-to-end solution architecture to deliver RaC services
Outcome: End-to-end architecture ready for implementation
