AUSTRALIA LINKED ORGANISATION OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES Awards for Excellence National Award Categories • Customer Experience Achievement of the Year Customer Experience has a number of variations and abbreviations. CX, UX, UI, customer centric, people at the centre – they all mean pretty much the same thing – Are we delivering something that people want and can use? A good digital customer experience requires a totally new approach to service delivery. It demands new business processes and cultural change within council. • Collaboration or Partnership Achievement of the Year Working together to achieve better, faster, simpler and more cost effective outcomes for our communities. Collaboration or partnerships between council business areas; between councils; or between councils and external service providers, other levels of government, research organisations or community groups are all eligible. • Smart City Achievement of the Year Using information communication technologies and data to be more efficient, solve challenges, and provide new opportunities. Smart communities advocate for the integration of technology and data infrastructure, promote digital technologies to increase the capability of existing infrastructure and services, and champion citizen involvement and citizen-focused service delivery. • Strategy and Planning Achievement of the Year Without well-defined goals and a high-level plan to achieve them, it can be easy to be deliver unneeded output, rather than desired outcomes. Strategy and planning shapes and guides what the project is, who it serves, what it does, and why it does it. It also clarifies the actions needed to make progress, and includes clear measures to determine if it is successful. • Presentation of the Year Effective communication of the business need, purpose and anticipated benefits of digital initiatives is fundamental to securing the necessary support, engagement and approvals for implementation. Effective reporting throughout the journey acknowledges effort, encourages understanding and experimentation, and supports a culture of ongoing innovation. • Digital Leadership Achievement of the Year Strong leadership is critical to the success of digital modernisation and transformation in government. Great digital leaders have a strength of vision, trust in their teams and an appetite for innovation and considered risk. They foster a culture that rewards experimentation and continuous learning, and know when to listen, when to ask questions and when to get out of the way so that their teams can shine. Australian and International Award Categories The winner of the Australian Achievement of the Year will be Australia’s nomination in the 2021 LOLA International Award for Excellence, competing with local government entries from New Zealand, Canada, Sweden, Netherlands, United States, United Kingdom and Belgium.
