Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalAutomation in service delivery is on the agenda for every city administration. However, with close to 7000 urban centres in a country like India, the service provision mechanism is at different levels of maturity across these centres. Further, the components of the service delivery mechanism vary from state to state, driving the need for harmony in the overall approach to service delivery.
This book is an attempt to evolve a best-fit ‘Process Framework’ which shall aid various stakeholders involved in the service delivery mechanism including subject matter experts, service automation designers, administrators and students of urban planning/management to derive a roadmap for their respective plans for designing and enhancing service provisions.
The book outlines a ‘Lifecycle Approach’ to service delivery as a whole, with a grouping of activities in each phase of the Lifecycle, leading to a set of processes in each phase. The whole set of such processes is amalgamated into an overall framework with an end-to-end view of the Service Lifecycle. The book also illustrates the fitment of these processes into existing administrative structures, thereby delineating the roles and responsibilities that the existing resources within the current setup need to adopt for a successful rollout of the framework.
