In the evolving landscape of public sector organisations, the need for efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric services is paramount. The partnership between Capgemini and ServiceNow offers a robust solution to these challenges, combining advanced technology with deep industry expertise to enhance public sector operations. This blog explores the benefits of leveraging Capgemini and ServiceNow together, with a focus on the transformative power of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on employee experience.

Introducing Agentic AI: The Next Frontier

While traditional AI responds to commands, agentic AI takes initiative. It can plan, decide, and act autonomously to achieve a goal—without needing step-by-step instructions. For example, instead of simply responding to a service request, agentic AI could identify a recurring issue, initiate a resolution workflow, notify stakeholders, and follow up with a summary—all without human prompting.

This shift is especially powerful in the public sector, where complexity, compliance, and scale often slow down service delivery. Agentic AI enables:

  • Proactive Service Delivery: Anticipating needs and resolving issues before they escalate.
  • Autonomous Task Management: Managing multi-step workflows across departments.
  • Enhanced Decision-Making: Synthesising data to support faster, more informed decisions.
  • Human-Centric Design: Freeing employees from administrative burden so they can focus on meaningful work.

Synergy in the Public Sector

The collaboration between ServiceNow and Capgemini brings together the best of both worlds: ServiceNow’s powerful digital workflow platform and Capgemini’s deep expertise in digital transformation. Together, they are empowering public sector organisations to create intelligent, efficient, and engaging employee experiences.

  • Automating Routine Tasks: ServiceNow’s AI capabilities automate repetitive processes. Capgemini tailors these automations to maximise impact.
  • Predictive Analytics: ServiceNow predicts incidents and disruptions. Capgemini’s data analytics expertise helps make informed decisions.
  • Personalised Experiences: ServiceNow analyses employee behaviour to deliver tailored support. Capgemini ensures these experiences are engaging and intuitive.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: ServiceNow’s AI-powered tools facilitate seamless communication and teamwork. Capgemini drives adoption and fosters a culture of collaboration.
  • Continuous Improvement: ServiceNow monitors performance and gathers feedback. Capgemini ensures organisations stay ahead of the curve.

Enhanced Employee Engagement and Productivity

Employee engagement is crucial for the success of public sector organisations. Studies have shown that engaged employees are more productive and provide better service. ServiceNow’s employee centre improves engagement by providing a unified experience for employees, managers, and support departments. This leads to increased employee satisfaction and a reduction in service desk calls related to internal issues.

Capgemini’s people experience transformation approach further enhances this by addressing broader aspects of employee engagement, such as inclusivity, well-being, and work-life balance. By focusing on these areas, Capgemini helps create a positive and supportive work environment.

Proactive Problem Management and Automation

ServiceNow’s proactive problem management capabilities identify recurring issues, reducing the number of support requests and improving overall efficiency. The platform’s automation features streamline repetitive tasks, allowing public sector employees to focus on more strategic activities. This not only improves productivity but also enhances the overall employee and citizen experience.

Capgemini’s expertise in operational change management, adoption strategies, and UX design ensures that these capabilities are effectively implemented and adopted. By providing tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of public sector organisations, Capgemini helps maximise the impact of ServiceNow’s automation and problem management features.

AI-Driven Insights and Continuous Improvement

ServiceNow’s robust analytics and reporting tools provide valuable insights into public sector processes, enabling organisations to make data-driven decisions. Capgemini enhances this by incorporating AI capabilities, which continuously analyse interactions and feedback to suggest enhancements and optimisations. AI-driven insights can identify patterns and trends that might not be immediately apparent, allowing for proactive adjustments and improvements.

For example, AI can analyse citizen feedback to identify common issues and suggest solutions, improving service delivery and satisfaction. Additionally, AI can predict future service demands based on historical data, enabling public sector organisations to allocate resources more effectively.

Real-World Impact: Case Studies

  • Healthcare: A major hospital system partnered with ServiceNow and Capgemini to enhance HR service delivery. By automating routine HR tasks and providing personalised support, the hospital improved engagement, reduced turnover, and enabled staff to focus on patient care.
  • Local Government: A council used ServiceNow’s AI to automate IT service management. With Capgemini’s support, the council reduced incident resolution times by 40%, improved employee satisfaction, and achieved significant cost savings.

The Future of Employee Experiences in the Public Sector

As AI evolves, agentic AI will play a pivotal role in transforming employee experiences. The collaboration between ServiceNow and Capgemini is at the forefront of this shift—empowering organisations to create workplaces that are not only efficient but also adaptive, intelligent, and human-centric.

By embracing agentic AI, public sector organisations can unlock new levels of autonomy, innovation, and impact—ensuring their people are equipped to thrive in the digital age.

By combining ServiceNow’s powerful technology with Capgemini’s deep industry expertise, public sector organisations can create a unified, efficient, and engaging work environment that drives productivity and satisfaction.
