4. What is Mosaic?
“Mosaic Public Sector is the UK's
only classification designed
specifically for use by the public
sector and focuses on the needs of
citizens. It provides a detailed and
accurate understanding of each
citizen's location, their

8. What is Mosaic?

M Elderly people reliant on state support
M57 - Old people in flats subsisting on welfare payments
12. Tell-us-a-postcode
• Look at individual postcodes around
Warwickshire to see how Mosaic categorises
them
• Does it fit with expectations/knowledge of the
area?
33. Applying Mosaic
Profiling customers
• You know who your (current) customers are
• Perhaps all you know is that they access your
service
• Turn your admin records into intelligence
• What about… iCoder
– Channel preferences
– Their health, economic status, interests,
perceptions and attitudes
– Other services of interest
34. Applying Mosaic
Identifying need
• You want your service to reach certain
communities of need
• But who are they, where are they and what
are their characteristics?
– In which communities are they concentrated?
– What is the best way to engage with these
potential service users?
– What else can we learn about these households?
35. Applying Mosaic
Example: Accidental Dwelling Fires
• F&R priority to reduce ADFs

36. Applying Mosaic
Volume or risk?
VOLUME RISK
D&B groups F, G & I
29% % of all ADFs 29%
31% % of all households 8%
(note: uses old version of Mosaic)
37. Applying Mosaic
Where?
Group F
- Clarendon, Brunswick,
Newbold, Crown
Group G
- Camp Hill, Bar Pool,
Wem Brook, Kingswood
Group I
- Newbold, Wem Brook,
Bede, Caldecott
(note: uses old version of Mosaic)
38. Applying Mosaic
Who? The types of households that are
most likely to experience ADFs are
also the types of households that
are most likely to have the
following characteristics…
smokers
purpose built flats single person dwellings
claim benefits / have low incomes / be unemployed
public rented dwellings betting and bingo
poor general health mental health issues
sleep lots and watch TV high levels of debt / CCJs

45. Other examples…
• Plotting a route for the ‘Branch Out Bus’ (BOB)
• Identifying new ‘No Rogue Trader’ Zones
• Exploring variations in school attainment
• Improving the take-up of free school meals
• Understanding drug treatment clients
• Alcohol-related hospital admissions
• Improving confidence in the police
• Engaging with flood zone households
47. Case Study: One Front Door
• Taking key services to those in need
• Contribute to reducing inequalities
• Identify communities of need
• Identify what they need
• Determine the most efficient and effective
ways to meet these needs
48. • First, identified all relevant properties - One Front Door
WCC and potential partners
49. Case Study: One Front Door
• What do we know about our customers?
• Where do they come from?
• How do they contact us?
• What services do they use?
53. • Where are our customers that prefer One Front Door
face to face service delivery?
54. • Where are those in greatest need? One Front Door
55. • Where are those in greatest need? One Front Door
56. • Where are those in greatest need? One Front Door
57. • Where are those who prefer F2F? One Front Door
58. • Where are specific customer types? One Front Door
59. One Front Door
Benefits of this approach
• This research…
– Indicates target concentrations
– Identifies typical issues/needs
– Suggests communication techniques
– Indicates key partners
– Targets service points
– Suggests properties for rationalisation
– Let’s look at Lillington…
63. One Front Door
What next?
• Identify what is being delivered – by who and how?
• Not just fixed service delivery eg mobile libraries
• Get partners on board – agree principles of co-
location; shared service delivery; shared costs;
shared efficiency savings
• Get community on board – consult and involve; use
appropriate communication; locality fora;
volunteers- “Big Society”
• Work together to develop new ways of delivering
services – Community Information Points are one
possible approach
64. One Front Door
Measuring success
• If we get this right we will…
– Take right services to the right people
– Raise profile and improve perception
– Address inequalities – develop communities –
help them migrate to other access channels
– Foster closer working relationships between
partners
67. Further Scenarios
• WOMBAT – using WCC’s mapping system to
examine Mosaic
• Tackling child poverty
• Identifying need for Children’s Centres
• Positioning Local Centres / Satellites
• Targeted Community Forum engagement
• Informing property rationalisation
• Finding ‘big society’ hotspots
• Shaping high speed broadband provision
69. Discussion – how can Mosaic help you?
• Work in groups of about 4 people
• Use the sheet to guide discussion
• Share some ideas for using Mosaic in your
areas of work
