About The Customer
Willoughby Council is a medium-sized local government body located on the North Shore of Sydney, Australia. It serves around 78,000 people in an area of roughly 14 hectares. The council oversees various business units that manage parks, libraries, and leisure centers, as well as back office functions like rates payments and compliance. It also has teams that are customer-facing and others who only deal with internal processes. The council was facing challenges in improving its efficiency and effectiveness, and enhancing the customer experience.
The Challenge
Willoughby Council, a medium-sized local government body in Australia, was facing several challenges that required immediate attention. The council was eager to improve its efficiency and effectiveness, and enhance the customer experience for the people interacting with it. However, the existing process mapping tools were proving to be time-consuming and inconsistent, leading to processes being ignored by teams. The council was also facing a potential merger with two neighboring councils, which would mean role changes, a new structure, and the sharing of all new processes. Although the merger did not happen, the council spent 18 months focusing on process improvement in preparation for the change. Additionally, a newly appointed general manager was keen on improving processes overall and introduced the role of business improvement and customer experience manager.
The Solution
To address these challenges, the council decided to implement Nintex Promapp, a process mapping tool. The decision was influenced by the council's business improvement and customer experience manager, Mustafa Ghulam, who had experience using Nintex Promapp in a past role and knew it would provide the consistency and ease of use that the council staff needed. The implementation of Nintex Promapp was done organically, with a slow and steady approach. Mustafa and another staff member became certified Nintex Promapp trainers and trained 12 staff from different parts of the council. These staff members were designated as Nintex Promapp champions and took the lead on process mapping and improvements in their business units. This approach allowed staff to learn to use the software when they needed it, with the help and support of members of their own team.

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Case Study
Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
