Tools and Technologies for Making Policies.
With the current technologies advancement in the field of information and communication policy making processes is faced with numerous opportunities to make it look modern to enhance efficiency and help develop great policies that can help optimize and minimize waiting time for passengers.
           With the help of enhanced data collection and processing capabilitiesin train environment, there will be reduced time taken in working on and interpreting data related to passenger and train movement. Data mining technologies will be used to process passenger information and provide timely schedules using computer aided decisions. With increased human resource coordination, higher technology in data collection and processing strategies, there will be timely schedule and in the smart city environment (Kamateri, Panopoulou, Tambouris, Tarabanis, Ojo, Lee, & Price, 2015).
The provision of education, training and outcome hearing is a major factor that need consideration in reducing train waiting time and improve time scheduling. This way will reduce energy wastage and also make a great contribution to the success of all other tools and technologies. These all are procedural tools that follow each other where understanding and proper implementing them will yield great results. Incorporating the above two tools and technologies in the smart environment, there will be vast movement of information a prompt passenger movement schedule that is timely and energy saving (Rowlands, 1996).

Useful Tools in Policy Making
           Policy-making involves effective decision-making. Various techniques and tools are applied in organizing thoughts towards making and implementing working policies. In policy-making, long-term decisions have to be made in order to avoid fallacies that can fail big projects. For instance, the transport industry serves a lot of people every day. The industry needs policies that can help in improving their services. Train and bus services need to be time conscience by working with policies that favor the movement schedules of most of their clients. People living within SmartCity environments depend highly on technology to access information and communicate. This means planners and policy makers have to create an effective transport network to make life manageable for city inhabitants.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
đ Key findings include:
đ Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
đ Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
đ Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

The findings presented in this toolkit are part of an ongoing development
initiative undertaken through a partnership between United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP), Yayasan Bursa Pengetahuan
Kawasan Timur Indonesia (BaKTI), and Pulse Lab Jakarta (PLJ).
In 2016, the Makassar city government sought UNDPâs support to
explore how to encourage more people to use its public transportation
system, and how to reduce the increasing traffic congestion in the city.
This initiative is part of the City-I-LEAPS (City Innovation through
Learning, Exchanging, Adapting, Prototyping and Scaling) programme,
a partnership established by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the
UNDP Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific to facilitate knowledge
exchange and technical assistance through an Innovation Exchange
Network. City-I-LEAPS aims to: transform traditional knowledge
exchange through the use of design thinking and reverse engineering;
collaboratively propose solutions that meet peopleâs needs; develop
prototypes for testing and evaluation; and eventually scale-up successful
designs. The partnership between UNDP, BaKTI and PLJ was formed to
facilitate the different facets of the City-I-LEAPS programme.
The ongoing initiative includes a process of user research, citizen-led
collaborative design, as well as incubation and prototyping of the products
until piloting. While the project continues to unfold beyond the pilot, it is
only our learning up to this stage that informs the design of this toolkit.
Background
1
4. Introduction
What this toolkit is not
Itâs not: a) a guide to service design methodologies (there are
many out there!), nor is it b) a mere case study of our project(s).
Now that we have that out of the way...
What this toolkit actually is
As development practitioners, we often conduct projects that
not only vary in their subject matters, but also in the methods
used - weâve tested projects using a wide range of approaches,
from big data analytics to human-centered design, to a blend
of both.
In working collaboratively with different partner agencies,
we have found that service delivery requires a deep
understanding of the enabling environment and the right
people; neglecting either of these could compromise the
success of the project. Factors such as culture and identity,
social and political context, choosing the right stakeholders
to participate in the design and delivery of the service,
and maintaining the effectiveness of the team should be
considered.
The purpose of this toolkit is to guide development organisations
and governments in navigating the complicated terrain of developing and
delivering services. It will help to develop a birdâs eye view of the
potential challenges and tasks required to ensure effective
delivery models and quality services. These factors will help to
guide the change process: moving from problem identification
to tangible concepts, and from concepts to tested pilots.
The flexible nature of this toolkit also means that it can serve
a variety of purposes, depending on the needs of the users. For
starters, it may be:
⢠A guiding tool before starting a service design process
⢠A way to evaluate existing services and determine a way
forward
⢠A way to assess how other organisations deliver services
⢠An instrument for other purposes.
Who this toolkit is for
In the public sector, understanding the interaction between
stakeholders is paramount. It is important to consider the
involvement of a variety of stakeholders, the different sectors
in society, motives, agendas, and incentives needed in order to
successfully develop and deliver a service.
The public sector has made numerous efforts to collaborate
with different stakeholders, and there are different ways to
navigate the dynamics of the multi-stakeholder approach.
This toolkit is for anyone attempting to undertake a
multi-stakeholder service design project, especially when
it concerns the public sector - whether a development
organisation, a non-government organisation, or service
providers contracted by them to undertake a project - in
other words, those who play the role of convening and pulling
things together.
Whatâs inside this toolkit
The toolkit includes templates, checklists and case studies
as guides. The lessons are taken from our recent project in
the city of Makassar, Indonesia. We chose this project, in
particular, as an example of how a delivery model informs
the creation of the service due to its complexity. The result
of the project - a public transportation system designed to
reduce traffic congestion - is briefly described in the following
sections, focusing mostly on the enabling environment
surrounding the design of the service.
âTo create impact, there needs to be constant and solid teamwork,
built on communication, dedication and commitment.â
- Andi Faisal, Makassar Department of Transportation

5. In October 2016, UNDP and Pulse Lab Jakarta began a journey
to address one of the most pressing issues in the city of Makassar,
Indonesia - public transportation. The city experiences high
traffic congestion and people are typically faced with long
commutes. Following a request from the Mayor of Makassar to
improve the cityâs traffic congestion, an initiative was kicked off
to design a solution. The initiative was not meant to overhaul
Makassarâs public transportation system, but instead was
intended to make better use of the existing resources.
Beginning with preliminary user research to understand
peopleâs mobility patterns in Makassar, insights from the
research were synthesised and a co-design workshop was held
in Makassar. As a result of collaborating with BaKTI (Eastern
Indonesia Knowledge Hub), a wide variety of participants
gathered to engage in the workshop, including from the creative
industry, media, startups, transport associations, as well as
government agencies. The goal? To come up with citizen-cen-
tered solutions to address the issue in question.
The process resulted in six different low-fidelity prototypes,
which were then refined during the incubation phase. In this
phase, stakeholders that participated in the workshop continued
to engage and voluntarily contributed to refining the prototypes
into a stronger and more integrated service. The outcome
was a design that involves converting pete-pete vehicles -
Makassarâs privately-owned transportation service - into a school
transportation system called the Pasikola.
The preliminary user research revealed that pete-pete are not
financially viable; drivers tend to be reckless road users as they
compete for passengers; and families are often hesitant to use
the pete-pete, resorting instead to private vehicles as a means of
transportation. The Pasikola school transportation aimed to
address some of these issues. With the Pasikola, not only will the
idle pete-pete be repurposed and better utilised, drivers will receive
a fixed income every month and participate in additional road
safety training. To support the Pasikola, an application called
e-Nassami is under development, which allows parents to track
the Pasikola vehicles and get real-time information on the pick-up
and drop off times for their children.
After a series of prototype development and user testing phases
spanning a three-month period, the project culminated in the
launch of the Pasikola vehicle service in May 2017, which the
Mayor of Makassar officiated during the Makassar City Expo.

6. The service design project in Makassar employed a
human-centered design method - not only in facilitating the
design of the solutions, but also in evaluating the results (and
creating this toolkit). This means placing people - or âusersâ - at
the center of the design, capturing the stories and experiences
of respondents and designing or evaluating solutions based on
this qualitative information.
Following the launch of the Pasikola, we interviewed the
stakeholders involved in the delivery of the service, including:
⢠Makassar Department of Transportation
⢠Public transport drivers and vehicle owners association
(ORGANDA)
⢠Individuals from youth and startup communities
⢠Knowledge Hub for Public Development in Eastern
Indonesia (BaKTI)
The analysis outlined in this toolkit was also informed by
constant observation throughout the service design project. As
with most development initiatives, a few key principles emerged:
⢠It is important to align our projects with the current local
agenda. This means gaining support from the relevant
stakeholders, especially decision-makers.
⢠As development practitioners, we must be conscious to
immerse ourselves in the environment. As outsiders,
we need to acknowledge that we are almost entirely
unfamiliar with those for whom we are designing
solutions.
⢠To prevent the overlap of tasks, it is necessary to determine
the roles that each stakeholder can play in the design
process. This process also enables us to better determine
approach strategies and identify incentives to offer them.
⢠The rigorous process involved in designing a service means
it is important to have individuals who are able to guide
both the technicalities and the interaction between the
core design team.
⢠Once the service design project has started, it is imperative
to maintain participantsâ commitment to ensure
sustainability.
⢠Having the participation of a variety of stakeholders can be
valuable in providing different perspectives to tackling a
common issue.
For our project in Makassar, we considered these principles and
did a few things differently.

His priority? Innovation.
Understanding his priority
informed our service design
and made it easier for us to
leverage his networks and move
forward until the service is
launched to the public.â
- Rahman Ramlan, BaKTI
Principle: Gain political support early in the process, and maintain
engagement throughout.
By employing a co-design process, we
facilitated the involvement of key stake-
holders from the beginning, including
those with both formal and tacit politi-
cal authority. Instead of imposing ideas
by suggesting solutions, we instead facili-
tated the transformation of ideas from
stakeholders into something tangible.
We continued this engagement process
all the way up to the implementation of
the service. This way, key stakeholders
have a stronger sense of responsibility
towards making the service a reality.

Principle: Be conscious that the local context might not be fully understood by outsiders.

counterpart on the ground, and em-
ployed an ethnographic research ap-

- Idham, participant
Principle: Multi-stakeholder approaches add value by bringing in various
perspectives to create a solution.
We recognised the importance of involving
a variety of stakeholders in an initiative and
we took additional steps to analyse who these
stakeholders are. Aside from involving the
public sector and development practitioners,
we established that it was important to also
include those who are on the frontline of
the public transport experience, as well as
those who possess creative skills and technical
capabilities to develop the solutions. This list
includes youth communities, activists, and
transport driversâ associations.

Principle: It is important to maintain participantsâ commitment following their initial en-
gagement in the project.
After identifying incentives to ensure
stakeholdersâ participation, we then
identified a different set of incentives to
maintain their commitment. For some,
genuinely participating in the process was
sufficient; for others, the attraction was
the development of new knowledge. It
was also important to identify when to
move from treating participants as vol-
unteers, to treating them as professionals,
committed to undertaking more respon-
sibilities.

Guiding Techniques

Principle: Professionals are needed to guide both the technical aspects of the project and
the interaction within the core design team.
We hired an independent mentor to be
situated on the ground and to guide the
team on a daily basis, facilitating the
creative process and ensuring that the
team progresses from ideation through
to implementation. This meant hav-
ing an individual who was well-versed
in procedural knowledge to assist in
implementing the user-centric method-
ology. Additionally, we engaged with an
institution that had a strong network to
facilitate interaction between different
stakeholders.

Toolkit
In this section, we present a framework for the design of
delivery models for user-centered services.
This involves conducting research on the context in which
the service is delivered - both politically and culturally;
then, identifying the necessary stakeholders to support the
design process; and finally, determining methods to facilitate
interaction between stakeholders during the incubation
process.

This is a sample of how the
toolkit can be possibly utilised
in your project.
Although we divided the
structure in this way, it should
not (always) be viewed as a
linear process. Depending
on the context, the process
can begin from any layer of
the structure. The aim is to
highlight the interdependence
between these layers and how
each layer plays an important
role in creating a successful
service design project.

16. The road to service delivery is full of Post-it notes
14
17. W
hile service design should ideally be
driven by existing challenges, in reality,
it is necessary to ensure political buy-in
before investing a significant amount of effort. Hence,
it is often more effective to identify projects and
programmes that can be improved upon, instead
of creating them from scratch. The reasons are
twofold. First, providing support to improving an
existing system instead of directly challenging it is an
approach that has a higher likelihood of acceptance
in the public sector. This is considered because of
how complex and interlinked some of these systems
are with other bureaucratic processes. Second, by
tapping into programmes that are already owned by
the decision-makers, it is possible to create a sense of
ownership and leadership from the decision-makers of
the new service design.
One way to identify the relevant programmes to tap
into is to first focus on the problem areas that your
service is trying to solve. Based on research and
observation, are there any pressing problems that
need to be solved? Then, identify why it is important
to solve the problem. Identifying the âwhyâ behind
the initiative can enable you to think more critically
about the problem and inform which programmes
to prioritise to answer the particular problem. Fill in
the two boxes in our Priority Selection tool to help
identify problems and provide reasoning behind the
selection.
Next, and in order to further identify the right
programme to tap into, fill in the Reality Check list
in our Priority Selection tool. The more boxes you
check, the more feasible it is for your service to be
implemented. Consider both the priority level of the
problem and the feasibility to aid your service design
and implementation.
Ideally, the Priority Selection tool should be filled in
several times, depending on the number of problems
considered. This is done in order to compare one
problem area to the others and map out their
feasibility.
By the end of this exercise, you should be able to
choose the programme(s) you want to tap into, as
well as the problem statement you would like to focus
on, based on the considerations noted in the Priority
Selection tool. Employing a human-centred approach
also means that the problem statement should be
framed based on the citizenâs perspective, not from a
government or institutional perspective. For instance,
for our project in Makassar, the programme we tapped
into was based on the request from the City to offer
support in the transportation sector. This resulted
in our problem statement: âhow might we create a
citizen-centric service that can decrease congestion
and improve the public transportation experience in
Makassar?â. For the full story on how we reached a
decision on this, take a look at our Case Study 1.

18. Case Study 1: Why Public Transport? Why pete-pete?
Our foray into the area of public transportation in
Makassar was not only driven by a current issue in
Makassar, but also by the Mayorâs ambition to improve
the cityâs traffic congestion. This enabled us to tap into an
existing programme in the city agenda. Upgrading the city
transportation system and introducing Pete-Pete Smart (a
new and improved version of the current pete-pete) are two
important segments in the Mayorâs plan. In December 2016,
a prototype of Pete-Pete Smart, equipped with air-condition-
ing, internet access and comfortable seating for passengers
was introduced. In developing the Pete-Pete Smart initiative,
however, the Mayor needed extra support to make sure that
it will be best designed to meet the different needs of citizens.
At the same time, UNDP, through its City-i-LEAPS
programme, approached the City of Makassar to find ways
to improve the city. Following discussions with the Mayor,
the subject of Pete-Pete Smart was highlighted. Would there
be a way to address the pressing issue of traffic congestion in
Makassar and support the Pete-Pete Smart idea?
A few months later, UNDP began to engage with Pulse
Lab Jakarta to delve into the issue. Following an initial user
research, a co-design workshop was conducted, inviting public
transport users and other stakeholders to collectively come up with
a solution.
With the existing Pete-Pete Smart in mind, the co-design process
encouraged citizens to think of certain things that could be
addressed if a pete-pete could provide alternative services. Through
the co-design workshop, citizens were able to have discussions
directly with the public sector to identify other problems that
could be solved by a repurposed pete-pete vehicle. The resulting
insight was that the city lacked a proper school children
transportation mechanism, an issue that could be answered with
a public transport-based solution. From there, a solution emerged
to address the needs of the citizens, as well as the objectives of the
City Government: the Pasikola system.
Instead of introducing a completely new concept to the
government, the team looked at what the existing initiatives were,
and involved citizens to improve upon them. We also involved
the decision-makers as early into the project as possible, first by
having them inform us of the most relevant programme to tap
into, followed by taking part in the design of the solution, up to
overseeing the progress until its incubation phase. As a result,
the initiative gained continued support from the Mayor and high
government ownership for the service.

20. Enabling
Environment
O
ne of the principles that guides our human-centered
design process is to understand the local context where
our work will be implemented. We therefore find
it valuable to look at the more comprehensive environmental
context, rather than just a particular sector that the service will
operate in - such as the transportation sector. An environment
in this case could mean a country, a province, a city, a network,
a community or even within an organisation. Scanning the
environment is an important exercise to inform the design of
the service, as well as the engagement strategies for the relevant
stakeholders. To do this, you must be able to identify a set of values
that function within a particular environment, which shape factors
such as culture, politics, rules of engagement and behaviours.
These factors can be used as starting points to determine the
opportunities and challenges within an environment. The
identified opportunities can then be analysed and utilised to
ensure successful service design and implementation. Think
about how these opportunities can inform the delivery of your
service, such as how to tap into local social networks, how to
navigate the level of openness (or resistance) of the environment
towards change, or how to manage and direct people based
on their values. For instance, if an environment tends to be
conservative towards citizen-led involvement in service delivery,
how might we address this challenge and involve the public
sector more in the design and implementation of the service?
To start identifying the values in your environment, take a look
at our list of questions in our Enabling Environment tool and
answer them based on your research and observations. The
resulting answers should act as prompts to encourage reflection
and further analysis. Position each answer into the designated
box, based on whether it will most likely be a challenge or an
opportunity. Then, think about some of the enabling factors
that might emerge from the opportunities. For instance, if
you answer that people in the environment tend to be more
community-centric, think about why this happens, and what
Case Study 2: Sombere and Smart

donât want to only focus on technology. Thatâs why we also add a

- Ramdhan Pomanto, Mayor of Makassar.
In 2015, the Makassar City Government committed
to upholding the Sombere and Smart principle to
guide the development of the city. This resulted in an
enhanced focus on innovation, as well as paving the way
forward. Since then, Makassar City has taken steps to
collect and use real-time data to improve decision-mak-
ing processes, and improve day-to-day administration,
including introducing smart-cards in schools to track
studentsâ activities and progress, and enacting a
waste-to-energy initiative. The Sombere perspective
initially encourages citizens and public servants to adopt
a warm and welcoming attitude, and also touches on
innovation. Access to information means increased
transparency and encouragement of citizen involvement
in creating and delivering public services.
impact it might bring (it could be due to strong societal ties,
which leads to a tendency to work in groups). The resulting
opportunity then could be that they value and might even need
to collaborate with their peers. This behavior can be used to
inform some of the enabling factors that need to be put in place
to ensure successful service delivery, such as using co-creation
as the basis of your design.
For an example of value-based factors and possible
opportunities to utilise them, take a look at Case Study 2.

21. The Mayor claims that the move for Makassar to become a
âSmart Cityâ must be complemented with the local wisdom of
Sombere, which is thought to be the heart and soul of Makassar.
The Mayor is known to be supportive of citizen-led initiatives,
especially concerning advancements in technology. There
also seems to be an improvement in collaboration between
the different departments in Makassarâs public sector, with a
willingness to work together in order to achieve a common goal.
In designing solutions for the public transportation system in
Makassar, UNDP, BaKTI, and Pulse Lab Jakarta employed a
human-centered design method. The focus was on developing
a more user-friendly public transportation service for the city.
In line with the Mayorâs vision of building a Sombere city, the
design process involved citizen-initiated ideas and collaboration
between the different stakeholders within public transportation.
As part of the process, the design team also aligned with
Makassarâs move towards becoming a Smart City by
incorporating a technological aspect to the service, one that could
answer the needs of the public transport users. The idea was
e-Nassami, an application that allows parents to track the Pasikola
vehicles and get real-time information on the pick-up and drop off
times for their children.
The alignment with the Cityâs Sombere and Smart mindset
has resulted not only in the support of the Mayor, but also
the cooperation of the Transportation Department and the
Education Department. Both of which will be important
stakeholders when the time comes to implement the service
across public schools in Makassar.
The team ensures that all voices are heard when gathering feedback in order to refine prototypes

Opportunities
What existing factors in the environment support innovation?
01. Use the cue cards to answer the following:
⢠Is the community generally innovation-friendly? Are there many active innovation communities or groups in
the environment? (e.g. startup incubators and social innovation hubs in urban areas, or special interest and
social activism groups in rural areas) Is there a strong government push for change?
⢠Does the community highly regard youth participation? Are there many active youth groups in the
environment? Are they involved in decision-making processes in the community?
⢠Do people tend to be more risk-averse or are they open to trying new things?
⢠Do people tend to be more individualistic or community-centric? How is this reflected in social structures and
relationships, including social obligations?
⢠Do stakeholders in the environment generally have a collaborative nature? Are there strong multi-stakeholder
or multi-level collaboration initiatives in the environment?
⢠Is there deference to seniority in the environment, shown for example by the presence of a generational
hierarchy?
⢠Are there any other unique environmental characteristics that should be noted? (e.g. transparent, artistic, tech-
nologically forward, etc.)
⢠How do the values you have identified shape any âunspokenâ rules of engagement that may amplify/hinder
your progress?
⢠Is the public sector usually open for collaboration with outside institutions? Why/why not?

24. Roles
and Stakeholders
T
his section aims to outline some of the necessary roles that need to
be fulfilled by the stakeholders. We recognise that each context has
different stakeholders and needs, and thus it would be inefficient to
group the stakeholders based on their institutions instead of the tasks they
will undertake. We will outline the roles of the stakeholders, and help you to
decide which stakeholders can best fit into these roles.
Identifying the roles of each party enables us to determine the engagement
strategy, including ways to incentivise them and ways to allocate tasks. For
instance, if a stakeholder is positioned as the role of âenablerâ or âdecision
makerâ, consider some of the things that can drive their involvement in the
project. Incentives can be tangible, such as remuneration or media exposure,
and they can also be intangible, such as goodwill and learning opportunities.
Further, allocating roles to stakeholders can help avoid any overlaps in
responsibility and work - instead of having a large group with overlapping
roles, it is more efficient to have a smaller group with relevant participants.
Facilitator
Individual/organisation responsible for guiding and managing the team.
The role of facilitator can further be segmented into two:
⢠Process-led: facilitator responsible for guiding the team through the
creative and technical process. The process-led facilitator must have
the technical skills necessary to guide the team through ideation,
prototyping and piloting.
⢠Interaction-led: facilitator responsible for managing team dynamics,
i.e. to be a mediator between the design team and other stakeholders
if necessary, as well as to ensure a smooth working chemistry of the
team. Interaction-led facilitators must have a strong network with the
various stakeholders in order to mitigate any possible disputes and
facilitate discussions.
Doer
Individuals who are directly responsible for building and testing the
prototypes. Doers usually involve those that have the technical skills
necessary to build the service, e.g. those who work in communications, tech,
business development, or other creative endeavors.
Thinker
Individuals who are responsible for the strategic thinking, and identifying the
implications of the service as it develops for other stakeholders. The profile
usually consists of planners and strategists.
Enabler
Decision-makers that have the authority to implement the
service. This can be in the form of government bodies, other
institutions, individuals with autonomy and resources. Their
constant involvement in the process can help create a sense of
ownership and facilitate implementation at a latest stage.
Funder
Those with the financial capacity to fund the project and the
service thereafter. There can be multiple funders, or a single
funder from beginning to end.
Individuals or institutions present in these roles may have tasks
that overlap with other roles, yet they should have a primary
purpose of fulfilling a particular role.
To further illustrate the roles, take a look at Case Study 3 on how
we identified and incentivised the necessary stakeholders for the
Makassar project.
Active collaboration between team members is the key to success

Case Study 3: Building the Team
After deciding on the problem area, UNDP and Pulse Lab
Jakarta started the initial research process, while at the same
time holding discussions with the City of Makassar, DISHUB,
and ORGANDA. It was during this time that the team identified
BaKTI as a local partner for the initiative. BaKTI first supported
the initial design workshop in November 2016, and subsequently
came on board to coordinate the incubation process and the
piloting.
Identifying a local partner was necessary for this initiative,
mainly because the project needed full-time facilitators to
be situated in Makassar, those that have good relations with
relevant stakeholders, as well as the experiences in handling
development initiatives. BaKTI had the requisite skills and
quickly became an important partner for the implementation of
the project.
Together with UNDP, BaKTI invited people from its diverse
network to the initial co-design workshop, bringing together
different perspectives to solve the issue of traffic congestion in
Makassar. Official invitations were sent out to participants by
UNDP, with BaKTI relying on the good rapport they already
enjoyed with the participants as incentives to join. During the
workshop, it was then up to BaKTI and Pulse Lab Jakarta as
process-led facilitators to manage discussions and mitigate
any possible conflicts within the working teams. Further, as
process-led facilitators, Pulse Lab Jakarta assisted in the process
of moving the ideas forward, by translating the initial concepts
into minimum viable products. This was done by holding
several ideation activities to refine the concepts and detailed
planning to make sure the team stayed on track with the
product development process. The team also hired a dedicated,
independent process-led facilitator to assist in this initiative.
From there, stakeholders that could fit into each role were
further identified. The core team of enabler, doer, and thinker
consisted of those involved in the workshop, including the Office
of Transportation as the enabler, a software developer from a
digital innovation community and creative community as a doer,
and the team mentors as thinkers, including UNDP, Pulse Lab
Jakarta, and an independent facilitator.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the
involvement of and initiation of this service design project by
UNDP, from initial discussions with the city government to
organising the workshop to the building of the prototypes.
UNDP played a role as convener and funder of this service
design project. The Makassar City Government has also
agreed to allocate the regional budget for the Pasikola in the
2018 fiscal year, thus undertaking the role as a funder alongside
UNDP and ensuring its sustainability.
It is important to note, however, that each stakeholder can play
a different role at various stages. For instance, while BaKTI
started out as a âthinkerâ in supporting the design facilitation,
their role shifted to that of a âdoerâ once the incubation process
began, as they were heavily involved in the creation of the service.
Additionally, UNDP also played a role as an âenablerâ, not by
being decision-makers in itself, but by easing the decision-mak-
ing process. This was done through constant engagement
with the Makassar City administration from the beginning,
ensuring on-boarding and eventual commitment from relevant
stakeholders.

tâs one thing to recruit and engage with stakeholders, but we
find that maintaining stakeholdersâ engagement is another
important area that needs to be nurtured to ensure the
sustainability of the service. At this point, stakeholders would
have been assigned roles and ideally, a team would be ready to
start building and refining the prototype in the incubation phase.
Facilitators are the main stakeholders that need to take the lead
in this process, as it is up to them to recognise each memberâs
motivation and relationship with each other in order to
sustain interaction. By ensuring positive interactions between
individuals on the team, facilitators can mitigate any possible
conflicts that might arise amongst the team members. This will
ensure project effectiveness.
In order to maintain or improve the interaction between
participants, the role of the interaction-led facilitator should be
to build trust between participants, which will in turn create a
more positive relationship despite the varying backgrounds of
the participants. In order to do this, the interaction facilitator
must mediate discussions between participants, ensure consistent
communications, and maintain the positivity of the team.
The interaction facilitator must first identify certain factors
that can motivate and demotivate each team member. This
can be done through observation of the participants, or even
by asking about their expectations for the project. Afterwards,
the interaction facilitator must assess the âfitâ between one
team member and the others, as shown in our Team Mapping
tool. First, we must identify if they have a shared vision, then
compare it to their existing relationship. For instance, while
youth groups share the same vision as the government in
improving the city of Makassar, they have a relatively negative
relationship with each other, driven by past experience.
In our matrix in the Team Mapping tool, the relationship
between a member of the youth group and the government will
therefore be positioned in the top left quadrant. It is then up
to the facilitator to shift any âproblematicâ fits to the top right
quadrant - to ensure a shared vision and positive relationship
between all stakeholders.
We have also identified that participantsâ engagement must
also be maintained by assessing their skills, which is a role
to be taken by the process-led facilitator. As shown in our
Team Mapping tool, the task of the process-led facilitator
is to identify the required skills for each team member,
assess whether or not they possess these skills, and if not,
identify ways for them to develop the skills. Assigning tasks
according to each memberâs skillset is beneficial when trying
to promote capacity building and when attempting to avoid
any potential overlaps in tasks. This process is similar to the
role identification for stakeholders, but on a more micro level,
involving more technicalities. For instance, when building
an application for service delivery, determine which of the
participants involved will be in charge of the concepting
(such as a strategist), the design and assembly (a designer or
developer), and the testing (a researcher).
For an example of how we mapped out interactions from our
Makassar project, see Case Study 4.
âOften we had to rely on BaKTI as
the facilitator to communicate with
the government. They have built good
relations with the government so their
opinions are more highly regarded.â

29. Case Study 4: Solidifying the Team
âWhat made this project so effective is the constant communication between
the team members. Even though I wasnât able to always attend the incubation
session, other team members always updated each other on progress, which
made me feel involved in its development and the decision-making process.â
- Sainal, ORGANDA Makassar
In Makassar, the facilitatorsâ roles certainly did not end after
the workshops. Once the team received the go-ahead from
the Mayor to continue the project towards its prototyping and
incubation stage, the facilitators again set out to work together
with the stakeholders. This time, however, an independent
facilitator took the lead as a process-led facilitator to guide the
team through the technical process, while BaKTI acted as the
interaction-led facilitator, responsible for handling the dynamics
of the team. On the other hand, Pulse Lab Jakarta and UNDP
guided the overall process when necessary, including hosting
discussions with stakeholders and coordinators prior to finalis-
ing the business proposal for the service.
The issues uncovered during the incubation process were two-
fold: (1) the facilitators needed to mitigate any potential conflict
between the team members, and (2) there was an eventual
decrease in the number of participants, which made it nec-
essary to reassign tasks to each team member. It was revealed
that tension existed in the interaction between the Department
of Transportation and the participants, due to the general
skepticism of the participants towards public sector projects.
It was then up to BaKTI to build a more positive relationship
between them. Fortunately, BaKTI had developed good work-
ing relationships with both the Department of Transportation
and the participants, and knew how to facilitate themselves.
For instance, BaKTI positioned itself as a constant mediator
in discussions between the stakeholders, often communicating
concerns from each side in a way that resulted in a shared
understanding by both. Gradually, stakeholders developed a
heightened sense of trust in each other, and were able to reach
decisions. BaKTI also made sure to always facilitate an open
discussion and regarded opinions from both parties as equal,
which was an important principle.
While the incubation process commenced with a total of
30 participants committed to continuing the design process,
the number of participants gradually waned - mostly due to
lack of availability. Eventually, it became a small team of five
people working on one integrated solution. To facilitate this
transition, the independent facilitator and Pulse Lab Jakarta,
as process-led facilitators, ensured that each individual within
the team had tasks based on their own passion and expertise,
thus complementing each otherâs roles. By first identifying the
skills needed to ensure team effectiveness, the team was able to
map out team members who possessed those skills and if not,
showed how to facilitate their capacity building. As an added
incentive, team members were remunerated for their roles in
this process.

32. The Journey Goes On
The public transportation project in Makassar is far from complete. After the incubation process,
more Pasikola prototypes are being developed and will be rolled out to different school routes in
Makassar, complemented by the e-Nassami application. Pulse Lab Jakarta, UNDP and BaKTI hope
to share more lessons as the project moves from the piloting stage to a full-fledged service, including
the new kinds of partnerships and management arrangements between the City and citizen-led
initiatives.
As a final note...
This toolkit is not meant to guarantee successful service delivery, but it is meant to be used as a
starting point to think about how the context surrounding a service design project can contribute to
its success.
We have observed that organisations often focus on the methods behind the project design and
implementation, yet neglect to take into account its context. As a result, well-designed services and
projects often get buried by factors external to their design. This includes issues surrounding personnel,
regulation, engagement, or adoption. We hope that this toolkit enables you to implement services that
are not only technically sound, but are also suitable to the local context.
