A user-centric design approach\u2014prioritising the needs, preferences, and behaviors of end users\u2014is critical for creating services that truly deliver value. This approach was central to our work with the Cabinet Office on the \u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a Grant\u2019<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">service, a platform that simplifies the search and application process for government funding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you missed the earlier parts of the series, you can catch up on the first blog here and the second blog here\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article focuses on how a user-centric design approach guided every stage of the project, from user research to development, resulting in a successful and widely adopted national service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital services are increasingly expected to be intuitive and accessible, which is why a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">user-centric design approach is essential for ensuring that solutions effectively meet user<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">needs. AND Digital recently collaborated with the Cabinet Office to build the \u2018Find a Grant\u2019<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">service, a centralised resource that simplifies the government grant search and application<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">process.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of the service was largely due to taking a user-centric design approach,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prioritising the needs, preferences, and behaviours of end users by conducting extensive<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">user research prior to the build, and keeping the end user front of mind during the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">development of the service. This article will address how that was achieved, and why this<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">approach was pivotal to the service\u2019s success.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Identifying the challenge<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cabinet Office supports the Prime Minister and ensures the effective running of<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">government. One element of their work involves posting government funding opportunities<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for organisations, charities and individuals to apply for. However, users of this service found<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it difficult to effectively find and apply for grants from the government, and had to search<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">various sites and engage with multiple departments to understand what funding was<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">available to apply for.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was clear that a consolidated platform was needed to bring everything together into one<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">place, in order for people to better understand the opportunities and applications available to<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">them for funding.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Embracing user-centric design<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first stage of building the service was conducting user research in collaboration with the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cabinet Office. This research was a core part of the user-centric design approach, and a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">critical piece of the puzzle, as \u2018Find a Grant\u2019 would be a national service used by all different<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of entities.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 60 users were interviewed during an 8 week period, culminating in a comprehensive<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">report, with the results driving the recommended areas to prototype and test, including a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">demand for having a consistent user interface and the importance of accessibility.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response to these needs, the GOV.UK design system library was used to prototype the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">requested user interface, which was then validated by testing before moving into the build<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">phase. Once launched, user feedback surveys indicated a strong increase in user<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">satisfaction, showing the importance of listening to feedback from the end user.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing accessibility was also a critical requirement for users, all front-end delivery was<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">made in line with GDS accessibility standards, ensuring an inclusive and user-friendly<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">experience for all potential grant applicants.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The collaborative partnership between AND Digital and the Cabinet Office built a culture of<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transparency, fun and honesty, but was ultimately about bringing it back to the needs of the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">user, to ensure the right recommendations were being made and implemented for the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">service.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>User-defined success<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-launch, the Find a Grant service has surpassed the expected number of users by over<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30,000, and now has over \u00a39.4 billion worth of funding available for those to apply for<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">through grants.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users can now be notified when relevant grants that match their saved searches become<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">available, and for the admins of the service, their notifications tell them when a grant<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">application has been submitted, a smoother process for all.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An admin rating of 4.2 out of 5 shows how far the service has come in creating a centralised<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">platform that focused on user needs right from the outset, developing an effective and<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">widely-adopted service delivered in an accessible way.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of an ongoing commitment to a user-centric design approach, the partnership<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">between AND Digital and the Cabinet Office will continue to improve the service, further<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enhancing interoperability between different systems and optimising the user experience for<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">both applicants and administrators.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of the \u2018Find a Grant\u2019 service underscores the critical role of user-centric design<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in creating effective digital solutions that not only meet user needs but also drive<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">engagement and satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"btn-container\"><a class=\"btn btn-md btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/digileaders.com\/topic\/data-decision-making\/\">Read More UX <i class=\"far fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our Accelerating Digital Delivery series, we explore the key factors that drive transformative digital solutions.
