Residents often miss out on services or benefits available to them—or those to which they are entitled—because they aren’t aware such services exist or don’t believe that such services are right for them. The New Jersey State Office of Innovation (NJ OOI) sought to tackle these challenges by launching a Communication + Engagement (C+E) Lab: an in-house team focused on deploying both traditional and digital consumer marketing strategies to help residents become aware of—and ultimately take up—services and programs available to them. Featuring the voices of Katie Fiore and Kai Feder, the latest in the DSN Spotlight series highlights the the C+E Lab and its ongoing role in shifting the State’s approach to using marketing to better connect residents to programs and services.

As government teams around the country work toward establishing policies, processes, & practices for human-centered design, a common hurdle many face is reaching residents for research. This hurdle shows up in different ways across various contexts in government settings, from challenges getting in touch with people generally, to ensuring the organization is reaching vulnerable communities, to simply being able to directly pay people for their time when they participate in research. Finding authorization to compensate community members for research participation—commonly referred to as “UX (or user experience) compensation”—has emerged as a universal challenge across all levels of government. As we all work to make it easier for governments to better manage research operations internally (recruitment, compensation, etc.), we also need to find ways to reach the people we serve to inform how we design and deliver government services. Featuring the voice of Ashley O'Brien, the latest DSN Spotlight discusses practical approaches for implementing human-centered design in government, and shares more about the flexible and resourceful approach she took to reach people across the City of Saint Paul, MN.

In 2019, the New Jersey State Office of Innovation (OOI) launched Business.NJ.gov as a “one-stop” website equipped with self-serve resources to help business owners start, operate, and grow their businesses in New Jersey (NJ). But even after the site’s launch, owners often still needed to reach out to multiple state agencies for support, which many described as “difficult and frustrating.” To tackle this issue, OOI implemented a live chat feature for Business.NJ.gov. Since its launch, the live chat feature has enabled more than 125,000 virtual conversations between business owners and state government experts, and OOI now uses data from the feature’s usage to inform how the state delivers business support services and prioritizes content on Business.NJ.gov. Featuring the voices of E.J. Kalafarski, Jessica Lax, and Joseph DeLaTorre, the latest in the DSN Spotlight series highlights the team's process and lessons learned launching Business.NJ.gov’s live chat feature.
