BRMStrategy Demand mgmt Service Portfolio Design coordination Service catalogue mgmt Service level mgmt Transition planning and support Change mgmt Between a customer need and a new service there are 9 processes actually 11 but I ran out of space
15
BRMStrategy Demand mgmt Service Portfolio Design coordination Service catalogue mgmt Service level mgmt Transition planning and support Change mgmt And all have the power to stop but none of those creates the new service, they just make busywork
16
BRMStrategy Demand mgmt Service Portfolio Design coordination Service catalogue mgmt Service level mgmt Transition planning and support Change mgmt You don’t need them XXXXXX
17
What is service? = Definition for outsourcing Internal IT?, Failed projects? Service is what IT does
18
A ferry & bridge provide same value = same service Service lifecycle ≠ infrastructure lifecycle What is service lifecycle? Business manages service lifecycle IT manages infrastructure lifecycle
19
What is best practice?

Cynefin framework 2011

Complex certification scheme No scientific theory No empirical evidence A combination of ideas, current practices, lore
22
21 years of ITIL At itSMF UK 12 conference 75% presentations about ITIL Many incident /problem management sessions
23
21 years of ITIL after initial success processes fail ITIL trainers & consultants blame the IT people
24
ITIL is a stage in the journey Don’t stop there! 1862
25
We need better terminology ITIL is not clear Event Incident Major incident Problem Service Request Service request Event Incident Catastrophe A failed disk is Infra vendor Service Provider Service Desk Customer
26
fault observed repair service restored customer problem taken care satisfied customer fault management = incident mgmt ? customer service = ? We need better processes
27
Consumer Contact 27 Feedback –opinion –wish –complaint Support request –help –unverifiable –fault Service request –request for an activity –request for a product –request for a change
28
What now Innovate Test Improve You are on your own, there are no textbook solutions Be brave
29
Recap forget ITIL incident/ service request/ event/ problem Service lifecycle is as valid as Soviet 5-year planning most value in ITIL is in V2
30
never implement ITIL
