Background
The General Medical Council (GMC) is a medical regulatory body whose key responsibility is to ensure patient safety and improve medical practice and education across the UK. As a result of its critical role, the GMC interacts with over 250 stakeholders at the national level and a much higher number at local and regional levels.
Historically the organisation has captured these interactions in their CRM system and other disparate systems. As a result, the GMC did not have a single point of truth and correspondingly struggled to gain a clear picture of context, objectives, sentiment and outcomes across the stakeholder landscape.
Following a shift in corporate strategy, the GMC identified a key objective to drive improved stakeholder engagement, enabling the organisation to better understand its stakeholders and ensure meaningful dialogue at all touchpoints - and in turn, drive improved outcomes.
The GMC decided to roll out a Stakeholder Relationship Management capability that would overcome the existing challenges, while crucially ensuring it met the user-friendliness and speed-of-use required by end-users.
To support this, it developed a vision and UX design for a web application delivering an intuitive Stakeholder Relationship Management capability and engaged Boxfusion to help them realise that vision.
