Keynote

What can the government learn from loyalty programs to build trust?

25 minutes

At every government level—federal, state, and local—there's a crucial chance to rebuild public trust amid historic lows. In our digitally connected world, experiences shape opinions, whether booking a flight or paying taxes. We expect seamless, personal interactions from organizations and brands. Positive experiences build loyalty, but one negative encounter can erode trust significantly. Understanding and meeting constituents' needs are vital for both public and private entities. For citizens accessing government services, often crucial, this is especially critical. Government must grasp citizens' desires to foster trust in its processes and services.
