capturing the real value of it service management
DESCRIPTION
Providers of IT services, can no longer afford to focus on technology, they must consider the quality of services they provide and their relationship with the business. IT Service Management outlines how people, processes and technology can be used to increase the value that IT can bring to the business. Through the implementation of a framework of improved processes, quick wins and a commitment to continuous improvement an IT service can be matured to offer a proactive and value focussed service which is aligned with the required business aims. Practical examples will be used to demonstrate best practice and the potential benefits.TRANSCRIPT

• The journey involves taking reviewing the following 5 aspects of the IT service– Vision– People– Process– Technology– Culture
![Page 14: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Targeting Maturity
Ad-Hoc Value

Delivering real value
Any process of service maturity should be financially neutral at least!
![Page 16: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Business and IT Alignment
![Page 17: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In reality…
• It all starts and ends with a clearly defined business strategy
• An IT department is purely a service function
• Technology has little value in its own right• The business wants more value out of the
money spent on technology
![Page 18: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why is it so hard?
Business
Poor service and IT department ‘geek
speak’
Lack of business awareness in the IT
Department
Focus on technology rather
then solving business problems
IT
Poorly defined or communicated
Business Strategy
Lack of technology awareness at Board
Level
Lack of commitment to technology
projects

What’s in it for me?
• Better agility – IT and Business• Performance can be measured• Turning risks into opportunities• Demands on IT can be managed• Delivery on organisational strategy
improved through use of technology
![Page 20: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Realising Value: The 5 ways
Improving quality and productivity, reduce costs
Enhancing customer relationships and service
Teamwork and collaboration
Timely Management Information
Information security and risk reduction
![Page 21: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Business Engagement
• Why is it important to engage the business? Can IT “go it alone”?
• How can you get the business engaged in improving IT service delivery?– The IT Team must prove to the business that
they understand– Speak the same language
![Page 22: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Same language?
“IT struggles to provide value to the business as their contribution is not
seen”
“The business do not communicate their priorities and strategic
direction to IT - IT cannot influence or support this objective in the most
effective way”
“Additional value could be provided by IT in the form of
new services if they were involved in business initiatives”
“IT don’t understand or
react to the pressures faced
by the business”
“IT get bogged down in the detail of technology and don’t look at the bigger picture”
![Page 23: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Suppliers or Partners?
• Being perceived as a supplier:– may impact IT’s ability
to contribute to the corporate strategy
– accentuates the divide between business and the IT
![Page 24: Capturing the Real Value of IT Service Management](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103015/54c264f24a795913518b4688/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What should we do?
Listen
Engage
Determine Business Need
Address the Gaps
Review
Pragmatism is key!
