Citizen Compass

Share ideas on the future of government eservices in this online platform

How would you improve government services using emerging technologies?

Share your ideas and opinions through online platform, Citizen Compass. From April 18 to May 18, you can join more than 2,000 Canadians by participating via two avenues in the Citizen Compass site:

• The Idea Forum where you share and vote on ideas, and
• The Choicebook featuring different government service options.

In late June 2012, PwC will analyze and share the results with the general public and government decision-makers.

Two of our bloggers, Fahad and Katherine, will participate and share their experiences below as well as answer your questions during this four-week initiative.  To participate and connect with them and other Canadians, visit http://CitizenCompass.pwc.com or http://lePoulsduCitoyen.pwc.com.

The Citizen Compass: Voice Your Opinion Now!

Having spent only an hour on PwC's Citizen Compass website (www.citizencompass.pwc.com), I realized the true potential of the government capitalizing on technology and adapting eservices to better serve us Canadians. I highly recommend you to join thousands of other Canadians, including myself and other individuals at PwC, to voice your opinion on what services you would like to have available at your fingertips by completing the Choicebook and Idea Forum. I guarantee you that it will be a highly interactive and exciting experience for you that is, in fact, quite entertaining and informative.  

My feedback on the Citizen Compass crowd-sourcing platform

The Citizen Compass initiative has been launched for almost two weeks! I have taken the time to participate in the Choicebook and have read several of the comments in the Idea Forum, have you? The Idea Forum topics range from services people would like to see online (adoption, passports) to apprehensions people have about the idea in general such as security.  I encourage you all to take the time to visit both of these sites as they are very informative and very intriguing. The only way to have a say, is to participate!

The Citizen Compass: Let’s guide our future together!

Fellow Canadians, it is finally time for us to be heard. Amidst the economic turmoil that has taken over our thoughts and to some degree our lives over the past several years, many of us have been caught up in our own utopia and have forgotten that we too have a say in our government’s plans, actions and policies. After all, the government plays a vital role in our lives (believe it or not). With social media and other technology on the rise and time to ourselves and our family/friends on the fall, we must capitalize on any opportunity we can get to use technology to help mitigate the time crunch we are facing. I have an idea.

PwC wants your opinion on government eservices

Being a member of the generation Y group, my life revolves around the use of the internet. I pay bills through online banking, I enjoy shopping from the comfort of my own home, if I need to research something for work, or if I am simply looking for a recipe I tend to mutter the words “I’ll google that”. The reality is the internet affects my routine on a daily basis, does it affect yours? What if government service access was as easy as online banking or online shopping? What if you didn’t have to spend your lunch hour waiting in line to renew your driver’s license or renew your vehicle registration? And, what if you were kept up to date and aware of the services the government has available for you?
