Life-event orchestration: a state that reacts to events
Citizen has a child → state automatically: birth registered, mother pre-approved for maternity payments, child registered in health, school queue updated. This is not automation of existing forms, it is redesign.
Discuss Your ChallengeWhat it is
Citizen does not file a “birth application”. The state receives event from maternity hospital → triggers cascade of automatic actions:
- Birth registration in MVD.
- Mother maternity benefits — eligibility evaluated, payment scheduled.
- Child added to SOLIQ (for tax purposes).
- Child registered in health system.
- School waitlist position assigned.
- Documents (certificate, child’s tax ID) prepared.
Single citizen action: confirm name, address. The rest — automatic.
Other life events
Marriage. Job change. Relocation. Business start. Child enters school. Retirement. Death (estate handling).
Each — cascade of actions across agencies.
What is needed
Event detection in each upstream system (maternity hospital publishes birth event).
Government event bus consuming events.
Orchestration layer — workflow per event type.
Per-agency consumers — each action.
Citizen confirmation interface — proactive notification, not request.
Where it usually breaks
Event detection sporadic — some events captured, others not.
Orchestration without stewardship — workflow stale.
Agency not ready to accept event — manual step still required.
Citizen confirmation absent — actions taken without consent.
What the state gains
Citizen experience transformed. “I had a child, the state already knows”.
Operational cost falls. Proactive automation cheaper than reactive paperwork.
Trust rises. State demonstrates competence.
