How can we improve the effectiveness and efficiency of DWP and customer service and labour market support through, for example, predictive modelling, automation, including use of automated bots, digitalisation, big real time data and machine learning? What scope is there to use data to intervene early and prevent rather than cure problems?

Background

We want to better understand what our wide range of different claimants need and expect, and how and why this is changing, for example, in light of the continued rapid development and use of technology, artificial intelligence and digitalisation.

We want to learn how we can improve how to measure and manage operational performance and productivity across the different parts of the business and identify and exploit opportunities to make delivery more effective, efficient and economical to reduce costs and ensure value for money for the taxpayer. We also want to better understand how to minimise the opportunity for fraud and error to enter our systems, and how to improve the speed and accuracy with which we detect it if or when it does.
