Co-Creating Service Value from Data in a Public Administration Context
Data are of increasing importance in the digital transformation of the public sector, but their potential has not yet been fully exploited. Service-dominant logic (S-D logic) is a principle according to which data creates value only when it is utilized, leading, for example, to better-informed decisions and planning results. Public administration practitioners can make use of this by consistently tailoring data-based services to the needs of users. As a result, services are developed jointly with potential users in a co-creation process. Providers and users test and improve the services together in a collaborative, iterative process. Such an approach offers considerable potential in the public administration sector.
A SSAS-Yearbook Paper by Ulrike Baldenweg-Bölle, Jürg Meierhofer and Alexander Mertes
In this article, the S-D logic perspective and its operationalization by service design methods are applied to the public sector. It is examined how, in the context of public administration, S-D logic can be used to design data-based value propositions.
An application case is presented in which a value proposition for the statistical office of a Swiss canton is designed. The results show that service design methods can be helpful in the context of public administration and that they also lend themselves to shaping innovation.
