So – you were a social butterfly at the
networking sessions, and built many meaningful relationships.
Then – you completely rocked your first (and
possibly second) interview, amazing your interviewers with your vast experience
and distinctive responses to their questions.
In the B.C. region, offers went out on
Friday, and because you were such a superstar, you have received offers from
more than one firm. Congratulations! Now
the tough part really begins – how do you choose between all of these great
opportunities?
I am employed as a Senior Associate in the People and Change Practice in Calgary. People often ask what exactly what the People and Change practitioners actually do for PwC. Here is a quick synopsis of the P&C Practice in PwC.
Fellow Canadians! Over 3,000 of you participated in the Citizen Compass initiative led by PwC to address the central question posed in the project: “What does the future of government services look like?” With such an amazing turnout, there were some great ideas shared, some of which I agree with and some not so much. Read on to learn about the findings of the research conducted by PwC and my thoughts and opinions on the results.
After three weeks of participation from over 3,000 Canadians, the Citizen Compass results are in. The results reveal three key points relating to what Canadians want from government service delivery: convenience, cost and control.
I’m celebrating three months and six days at PwC Canada - time sure flies when you're having fun! I was very fortunate to have joined two big engagements having only spent three months in my role as Senior Associate in the People and Change Consulting practice.
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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
