Residents don’t think in programs or agencies — they think in problems and life events. But too often, government complexity shows up as friction: repeated questions, disconnected systems and missed opportunities to help.

This webinar explores how AI-driven orchestration is enabling state and local governments to redesign workflows and modernize the resident experience.

You'll hear how "No Wrong Door" strategies — supported by AI and automation — are helping governments guide residents through complex services with continuity, clarity, and confidence. From personalized engagement to smarter self-service and case resolution, AI is becoming a force multiplier for frontline staff and a foundation for long-term CX transformation.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why resident experience is the new performance benchmark — and how silos stand in the way
  • How AI orchestration bridges legacy systems, enabling continuity across programs and channels without replatforming
  • What "autonomous IT" looks like in CX — and how it reduces burden on staff while improving outcomes

This session is ideal for state and local government leaders in IT, human services, operations, constituent services and CX who are working to improve service delivery and meet rising expectations with constrained resources.
