Customer and Digital Strategy

The Customer and Digital Strategy (CDS) stream develops, facilitates and coordinates the Queensland Government's customer and digital strategies, policies, roadmaps and standards including the Queensland Government Enterprise Architecture (QGEA).

We also lead or support other agencies to design and develop digital services and products to improve the customer experience. Recent examples include the Check In Qld app and the Concessions finder. For those services where it makes sense to deliver a nationally consistent solution, we work with all states and territories and the Commonwealth to achieve better customer outcomes.

We work across government to help departments design services that are:

  • digitally-enabled
  • responsive
  • easy to use
  • accessible online, over the phone and in person.

Our work is about:

  • developing evidence-based customer, digital, ICT and data policy and strategies for the Queensland government, and to support a thriving Queensland digital economy
  • leading strategic engagement and relationship management activities with government, industry and other jurisdictions
  • developing whole-of-government architecture and roadmaps, including through the QGEA
  • developing strategies to improve digital infrastructure investments to help Queenslanders and their businesses stay connected and get  better access to government services
  • monitoring new technologies to understand their effect on service delivery
  • designing end-to-end services to improve customer experience
  • building public service capabilities in human centred design, digital leadership, data and ICT.

Customer and Digital Strategy consists of three teams:

  • Strategic Engagement and Governance
  • Design and Capability
  • Policy and Architecture.
