Government programs often know something needs to change. The harder part is creating a shared understanding of the problem, determining what a better experience could look like, and giving implementation teams a clear place to begin.
D109 helps mission and program leaders turn complicated policies, processes, and technology challenges into practical workflows, tangible prototypes, and a clear path forward.
A D109 engagement can begin with a persistent problem, an ambitious mandate, or simply the sense that an important service should work better.
A critical process depends on email, spreadsheets, paper, or disconnected systems.
Employees spend too much time finding information, entering data, or completing repetitive work.
Residents, employees, or other stakeholders struggle to understand and navigate a government service.
Your team sees potential for AI or automation — but needs to determine where it would actually help.
D109 works with the people who manage, deliver, and depend on a government service. Together, we clarify the challenge, uncover what is getting in the way, and make a better way of working visible.
We learn how the work happens today — including the policies, people, systems, and workarounds involved.
We simplify the workflow and create a working prototype that teams can see, test, and improve.
We leave the implementation team with a shared direction, clear priorities, and actionable guidance for what should happen next.
Make complex application and case-management processes easier for residents and employees to navigate.
Bring fragmented information together so teams can assess cases and act more efficiently.
Help agencies exchange sensitive information without making the work unnecessarily difficult.
Improve how incoming questions, reports, and service requests are understood, routed, and resolved.
Reduce the administrative burden associated with reviews, approvals, and documentation.
Simplify high-volume onboarding, scheduling, communication, and support processes.
The people behind D109 have worked alongside teams in the public sector responsible for essential services, sensitive information, complex cases, and processes shaped by policy.
We understand that improving government work means accounting for the people doing the job, the public depending on it, and the rules and systems surrounding it.
Helped teams reduce time spent on repetitive administrative work so they could focus more attention on the mission.
Made it easier for employees to find the information they need across disconnected systems and sources.
Explored how AI could support case review, public inquiries, and other high-volume work — while keeping people responsible for important decisions.
Created working examples of improved services so leaders, frontline employees, and technology teams could evaluate an idea before investing in full implementation.
Whether implementation will be handled by an internal technology team or an external partner, D109 provides an independent perspective. Our role is to help your organization determine what should be built, why it matters, and what good should look like — before significant time and resources are committed to building it.
Internal team. External partner. Or both.
Depending on the challenge, an engagement may produce:
If you are responsible for a mission, program, or service that has become too complicated, D109 can help your team understand the problem, see a better way forward, and determine what to do next.
