2. The Challenges
• Data is the new oil of the 21st century
• Governments have a huge amount of citizen information
but they are not taking advantage of it to provide better
services.
• New generations expectations are much higher
than in the past
• Some of the demands are to improve customization,
proactivity, usability, trust and cross-government
approach.
• Public services are usually developed to meet the
administration interests
• Governments must use co-design methodologies
putting citizens at the center when designing the
services so that they fulfill the citizen needs and
expectancies

8. The process
Legal evaluation:
• It is possible to conduct data science
analysis according to GDPR, if we
anonymize the personal data
Data science analysis conclusions:
• Little data: AOC holds a large amount of
public records but only a small fraction of
them is relevant to define citizen profiles
• The area that AOC holds larger and most
relevant data is “citizens with social
needs”. They are our early adopters.
• Mobile-first: citizen with social demands
do not have a broadband internet
connection and a PC at home, but most of
them have a smartphone. So, we decided
to make MyGov, a mobile-first solution.
Research:
• we conducted an extensive research in
the public and the private sector, inspired
by some solutions in the banking industry.
Co-design activities:
• An online open innovation challenge with
public employees to manage collective
creativity.
• A design thinking workshop with public
employees.
• Several co-design workshops with citizens
to define archetypes and identify their
expectations by using design thinking
techniques. We also identified the citizen
journey using ethnographic
methodologies; and co-created the main
functionalities of the solution.
Prototype:
• we developed a minimum viable product
to be tested by the users.
Validation with end users:
• we made new iterative versions of the
prototype according to the feedback and
validation of the end users.
