A key part of IP Australia’s service is to help citizens in all matters related to patents & trademarks. This is a very technical topic.
IP Australia was actually one of the first #ThinkSmash clients. They brought some of their unique and unusual challenges to the session.
The challenge we were given to solve: “Adoption”
Unlocking value using cognitive services
In 2016, IP Australia was given the challenge to move digital adoption from 12% to 50% as they could not sustain the volumes and costs associated with growing demand from citizens.
We’re dealing with a complex topic within which there are multiple layers and as a government body we need to assure whatever is made public has a very high level of citizen satisfaction.
We needed to prove whether all the hype around cognitive platforms actually resulted in a service which could deliver a Customer Sat of 88%.
We took on this challenge as part of the Datacomp hackathon and discovered that we had a rapping hack ninja. Identify the 80-20 opportunity where VA could solve problems to a 88% customer sat and provide a clever way to involve the human touch at the right time.
