Citizens First 2023 (CF2023) is the latest in a series of research initiatives sponsored by the Institute for Citizen-Centred Service. Its primary aim is to offer Canadian public sector managers and executives insight into how citizens experience government services, and to identify trends and provide suggestions on where to focus service quality improvements for greatest results.

Citizens First 2023 will look at key metrics relating to service delivery and examine in detail such areas as service reputation, client experience and expectations, drivers of satisfaction, priorities for service improvement, and channel usage. Particular importance will be given to providing actionable insights for service managers and enabling them to introduce effective service improvement solutions.
While building on topics explored in previous studies, Citizens First 2023 will also examine new areas of interest identified by the Canadian public sector service community. Subscriber input will be sought in the identification of such areas.
